Coaching Carousel

ISU has an interesting history with their coaching hires...

in 2018 ISU signed Dan Muller to an extension thru 2024 after a couple good seasons, then fired him in Feb of 2022.

ISU signed Porter Moser to a contract through 2010, then just as Moser landed a whole stable of top quality guys who would go on to
win 22, 24 & 25 games the next 3 seasons (Osiris Eldridge, Anthony Slack, Dom Johnson, Dinma Odiakosa) then suddenly ISU
fired him in 2007, and he went on to a highly successful career elsewhere.

In 2012 ISU gave Tim Jankovich a modest raise and extended him, then, SIX DAYS LATER he snubbed them and left for an assistant spot at SMU.

This was originally posted on twitter back in April. I'd imagine ODU had to wait until his BC contract officially ended before finalizing his new contract and formally announcing the hire.

here's an interesting development at Boston College...
after BC fired the whole coaching staff (Jim Molinari included) they hired UConn assistant Luke Murray

Now Luke Murray has demanded that Boston College fire their entire long-time radio broadcast team because
he doesn't want anyone who might be associated with the old staff.
"He’s a young head coach, no experience, and he’s being given the power to take two guys’ careers away from them
who have done nothing but try to serve the program and promote the program."

Murray considered the broadcasters part of the team's "losing mentality” ...

Boston College fired longtime MBB broadcasters because new coach Luke Murray didn't want anyone tied to old staff

Boston College fired longtime broadcasters Kevin Collins and Josh Maurer, who say new coach Luke Murray wanted no ties to the program's past.

Texas Southern elevated a nine-year assistant coach, Shyrone Chatman, to interim coach in April, to succeed Johnny Jones who became an assistant at LSU, then hired a search firm in June to find a coach. Took two months to find this one, four months since elevating the assistant. Such a late hire, one has to wonder why they simply didn't make this coach the head coach. There must be a reason, but I don't know what the story is. No mention on their website that Chatman left. He was recruiting players.

EDIT: Just did a little digging.

Texas Southern has been pretty successful in the SWAC. They have seven NCAA Tourney appearances since 2014 & their last two head coaches were hired away to better jobs.
Nobody seems to know why this current search & hire took so long but the guy they are getting seems to be a solid hire.
 
this is interesting...
On the eve of the debut of their new football coach, UCLA fires their AD with over $6 million left on his contract that they will have to pay.
The criticisms are that he oversaw the firing of two bad FB coaches needing big buyouts, secretly extended the basketball coach without
consulting the Chancellor, and recently inquired "secretly" about the USC AD job...
also- per report- "he was an inconsistent fundraiser, was slow to react to changes in the college sports competitive landscape, was far too conservative with respect to NIL, largely did not build goodwill with his coaches or athletic department staffers, and hopelessly mismanaged his most important program in football." **
But the reason given publicly is that the Athletic Department finances are a mess.
"UCLA Athletics currently carries a significant financial deficit, and its current path is not sustainable"

UCLA fires AD Martin Jarmond days before Bob Chesney era begins, cites 'significant financial deficit'

UCLA dug a deep financial hole under Jarmond's watch

.....LOL- as many of us here saw years ago -- Butler is now the perennial replacement at the bottom of the Big East -
... the spot DePaul & Georgetown have owned for years....

The Big East preseason poll just came out... LINK
Butler is given zero respect.... they are picked dead last and don't even get half the votes of the next-to-last team.

They should join the Valley
 
These schools struggling financially more then likely do to the costs of travel plus booster money going more to pay players . Big 10 schools have to pay a huge amount of money for airplane costs because all the sports teams are included . Traveling from Rutgers to the west coast is not cheap.
 
Yeah, DePaul has had only ONE winning season in Big East men's basketball (in 2006-07 they were 9-7, 20-14), their only revenue-producing sport, since they left the CUSA and joined the Big East in 2005 . They have been at or near the bottom of the league virtually every year since then, including a couple winless seasons, and a bunch of 1-win and 2-win seasons. Hard to remember that they were once a college basketball powerhouse. Yet even though they have never made a single NCAA Tournament since joining the Big East, they get a share of the big revenue the conference brings in, and it is still far more money they could make as a mid-major.
