Potential new coaches

[BradleyBrave]

So far the assistant compensation hasn't been, thus what we currently have...

If you want to squeeze people out or indirectly tell them to find employment elsewhere, then you don't adjust their salaries accordingly. Perhaps that's what is happening here...although I think the head coach's preference on who is on the staff has something to do with it as well. I think for the qualifications our guys below JL have, they're probably paid appropriately if not overpaid.

I said it in another thread a while ago..

Howard Moore (Assistant @ Wisconsin)

He was here on the staff under Molinari and 1 or 2 years under Les. So he knows about Bradley and knows how much the community cares about the success of the School (especially the BBALL team). At Wisconsin he has landed some big time recruits from Illinois. He played in the CPL and has a great ties to it as well...


I would love to have him here at BU.....

I don't think Howard Moore really has anything to do with the recruiting successes at Wisky, but thats just what I know...

[BradleyJD]

I'm real confused here as to how we wouldn't have done better with Brian Gregory...

His teams at Dayton have finished 1st or 2nd 3 times already and are headed for another top 3 finish this year...

that's what I was going to ask.

I believe Bo Ryan, one of the best coaches, if not the best Coach in the Big 10, was a D-3 Coach before he took over the Wisconsin program. Wisconsin Lacrosse(?)
The supply of potential coaches does not need to end at the D-1 level.

[ER3]

Mark Montgomery is the guy I want, at this point in time.

Gregory was the guy I wanted here last time...before he pulled out of consideration...and Montgomery is the next guy in line at MSU that is due to have his own program...

Correct...


Not many around these parts like him, but Bruce Pearl coached at Southern Indiana and made them into a perennial national contender in D-3

Well, in accordance with BBraves post. . .they are probably at or better than market value for their services, so. . .

There hasn't been immediate change, and the change will take some time as the University adjusts things to make the necessary budget room to make the improvements happen. But they will happen.

I know someone who took a job at a DIII school and is getting paid nearly 3 times more than what their supervisor in athletics at Bradley makes.

In fairness, it is a lot easier to be successful at a huge state school like Wisconsin, which has an enormous fan base, an unlimited athletic department and recruiting budget, and instant connections throughout the state and midwest to get the top tier of recruits.
Rob Jeter, who was a highly touted assistant under Ryan and is now at Wisconsin-Milwaukee, has not had nearly as much success.

Um...did you miss the point where we were discussing the careers of Ryan and Pearl at D-3?!

[Da Coach]

No, I got that point- but my point was that the liklihood of a coach moving from D3 to a low-major or midmajor and being successful can't quite be compared with one moving to a major state school. The are a lot more D2 and D3 coaches who eventually get D1 jobs and aren't so successful than those who do succeed.

Good coaches are good coaches.

They will win wherever they are.

Whenever you hire a new coach, there is some gamble involved. You never know how it will end up.

[Da Coach]

I can't agree. There are a lot of good coaches that can't win because of circumstances beyond their control (mostly related to recruiting and facilities). Carmody is a good example.

Good coaches win.

Carmody took the job knowing about facilities and recruiting. It's not like they changed after he went their.

Same with Les.

Yes......Roy Williams is doing a wonderful job this year.
