Lickliter is a very good man and a good coach -- I could be quite happy if he were my coach...

Jerance Howard is only 30 years old. He has no x's and o's coaching experience. Don't you think that we can do better than that? Hiring Jerrance Howard would be a mistake of monumental proportions...please ....think about what you are saying...Originally posted by BSSFan#1 View PostComment

Agreed on Howard.Originally posted by afan View Post
He could end up as a very good coach, but right now, he isn't ready for an MVC job.Comment

Top candidates from big time schools have to be pretty careful where they go....
or else they may "shoot their wad" going to a place that they have a hard time winning then their stock goes way, way down....
Dan Monson & Tubby both came away wealthy but hurt their stock severely going to Minny -- and it's not like they weren't warned...
Even Brian Gregory has seen his tock slip a bit at Dayton -- with incredible recruiting classes and still he can't above the middle of the A-10...
This season when they were pegged to be right up there with Xavier & Temple and got mentions for Top 25 -- they finished only 7-9 in a weak A-10 this season, and Gregory has come under some fire for such poor performance.
Then you gotta recall Billy Gillispie....again -- he came away rich but hurt his stock severely trying to win at Kentucky.
Then there's Jank, Crean, Lickliter at Iowa, Alford at Iowa, Wainwright, etc...
all took a perceived step UP the ladder and hurt or burned their resume trying to build a program but have failed.....
Just sayin'......but a whole lot of hot named guys are looking at Bradley as a very hard place to win....
Even one of the single hottest commodities for a decade, Johnny Dawkins, waited and waited at Duke for the perceived "right opportunity"...
then he has taken Stanford from prominence and 20 wins to mediocrity again....
This year's 15-15 (as well as last year's 14-18 ) and 7-11 in the very weak Pac-10 - have also hurt his resume....
as some relief to those "wounds" he's at least getting big time pay in the millions...
this kind of bad jump if it were to a midmajor where the pay wouldn't soothe the wounds would be career harry kareyComment

How about the coach that wins the class 4A state title, let that be his reward
You know it's going to be a Chicago coach or a Chicago Suburban coach, probably from the western suburbs, that wins it all That coach would come in with great recruiting contacts and we start getting good players from Chicago and the CMA like Coach Versace did 
not relevant to thread but here's the 4A bracket:

The most important thing is not to win the press conference introducing the coach -- it's to get the right coach.
Winning games always trumps winning the press conference.
If you can do both, great, but it's not necessary.
I think BU will attraced/already has attracted a lot of good candidates.
I just hope the "process" doesn't bungle the opportunity to land one.Comment

I have to disagree with this statement, 450 to 500,00 is a lot more then 250 plus most asst"s want a head job, Bradley should be considered way above Toledo and Wis-GB , remember that Gregory interviewed for the BU job the last time and only pulled out because we did not offer enough at that time, no reason why we cannot get one of these guys:Originally posted by tornado View Post
Montgomery
Lusk
Gard
Mueller
Amaker may not be as good a fit as these 4 guys because these 4 have great midwest ties that will be very important in recruiting and they are learning from some of the best coaches in the country.Comment

Good idea in theory Rick. But there are a lot of high school coaches that win simply because of dirty recruiting or outstanding talent (see Wayne McClain while at Manual). Just because these coaches win a state title does not necessarily make them a good coach. Now, if we're talking hiring one as an assistant coach to capitalize on their recruiting........Originally posted by BU RICK View PostHow about the coach that wins the class 4A state title, let that be his reward You know it's going to be a Chicago coach or a Chicago Suburban coach, probably from the western suburbs, that wins it all That coach would come in with great recruiting contacts and we start getting good players from Chicago and the CMA like Coach Versace did

I think that including Tubby in your statement is a little unfair. Tubby was basically trashed at Kentucky after winning a national championship and I think that he will end up turning Minny around!Originally posted by tornado View PostBradley 72 - Illini 68 Final

Interesting idea, but I doubt many ADs or University presidents would ever consider this.Originally posted by BU RICK View PostHow about the coach that wins the class 4A state title, let that be his reward You know it's going to be a Chicago coach or a Chicago Suburban coach, probably from the western suburbs, that wins it all That coach would come in with great recruiting contacts and we start getting good players from Chicago and the CMA like Coach Versace did

The number of high school coaches hired at midmajors or above that ever had any success can be counted on one hand.
And knowing JG and MC a bit, I can say with fairly high certainty it ain't gonna happen here.
I expect a quality hire that will be someone few could question. Whether he is successful here will remain to be seen.Comment
