Oklahoma St. expected to fire Ford, source says

Stanford dumped Johnny Dawkins.

I'm surprised Dawkins never did better there, thought he'd be a good coach. Just 1 tourny appearance in 7 years

 

[Hitman Hart]

I always thought if Dawkins did well at Stanford, then he'd be a strong candidate to succeed Coach K at Duke.

Jamie Dixon leaving Pitt to coach TCU

Brad Underwood leaving SF Austin to coach Ok State

Archie Miller has to be at the top of a lot of teams' wish list. Guy always says he won't leave Dayton, but I have a feeling he's gone either this or next year when a job he wants opens up.

It will ever be him or Capel

 

[The Derski]

Sean Miller squandered any and all Pitt rumors.

Jamie Dixon leaving Pitt to coach TCU

I'm pretty sure Pitt fans are happier about this than TCU fans.

Yeah, my line of thinking was, if Dawkins was able to succeed at a highly prestigious university like Stanford, then that would definitely have given him an advantage over all of the other potential candidates. Its irrelevant now, as Dawkins only took Stanford to one NCAA Tournament.

I still think Dawkins has a shot with Duke regardless of what he still with Stanford.. I think the only thing that might prevent him is that he left and Capel has a better shot.. Wouldn't mind anyone of them to coach. Hell even Collins or even Wojo (though I doubt he would get it, at least not yet)

 

[Hitman Hart]

Very true, redseat. I would be surprised if Coach K did not have a heavy influence on who his successor is.

Oh I am almost positive Duke is going to let him select his successor. I mean they would be stupid not to let him, he's earned it. Pretty sure he would be an excellent judge of talent of who could take his place, better than the AD.

Executive search firms do a lot of the work.

Jamie Dixon leaving Pitt to coach TCU

I'm shocked at Dixon leaving Pitt. I know he went to TCU, but thought he was a big time, big conference coach.

Funny....but let's re-look this in 4 years.

The Big12 isn't a big conference?

I gotta admit there is some allure about being the guy to bring your alma mater back to prominence.

I'm guilty of east coast bias. Yes....there's no comparing the B12 with the BE and ACC. NE bball is where the hardened players grow up. Everyone out west is a poooosie.

And yes....I guess TCU works for Dixon...I was just surprised.

Maybe the old big east.

But that's dead.

Notre Dame, Miami and BC are the main culprits for killing it.

And SU.

But I will never downplay those little gyms in the NE. Butler and Marquette were good additions. GTown and Nova will always draw good talent. I think they will continue to do well.

Nah, SU and Louisvile only really left after Notre Dame failed to join. It's their fault. If Notre Dame stayed we'd still have the big east with Uconn, ND, Louisville, Cuse etc.
