Who Should OSU Hire as Next Basketball Head Coach?

[Georgia Poke]

It's not proof of that at all. You fire your coach and you have a list of coaches you would like to hire. You work down the list.

That's not a mess, and the job at OSU is desirable. The way some people talk about us is that we haven't been to the NCAA tournament since Lincoln played forward for Illinois.

I was being sarcastic.

This has been the most entertaining thread I have ever seen!

I’m still willing to throw in that lifetime supply of toupee glue if we bring Bill home. It would be worth it just for press conference

 

[zone2poke]

Heard same thing, 7 years, 25 million.

Why does no one tell us where they hear these things?

 

[CowboyJD]

If you had asked me a year ago, I'd give better odds at Bill Self being next oSu MBB coach than Messi coming to MLS ...just sayin'

We can’t pay Messi money and our AD is no David Beckham.

I overheard a conversation at the lumber yard. I have no idea the source. But connecting Andy's dots with other conversations I would guess Traber as I understand he had Doug on.

How to say you haven’t visited the Politics board without saying you haven’t visited the politics bar.

That’s Traitor

That’s Traitor

Sorry, my bad, and I don't disagree!

And Coach Steve Lutz it is…………..

.... details.

 

[Tulley]

.... details.

There are none. Nothing concrete has been reported.

7 years is crazy. No coach should feel the need for 7 years to prove himself. 5 for 18M is a whole lot of money and plenty of time for him to make a statement if he is the one.

If I am the AD, I would wait a few days if I’m expected to commit 25M, Give me someone that has proven success over more than 3 years and offer them 5-25M.

Creighton lost so I’m hoping McDermott will be announced.

He'll be announced on Monday (April Fools Day) and all of us still won't know for certain.

 

[rattlesnake]

Creighton lost so I’m hoping McDermott will be announced.

That would certainly make the wait worth it. Not getting my hopes up though...

 

[zone2poke]

Alabama and Clemson should play in the Orange Bowl.

 

[zone2poke]

That would certainly make the wait worth it. Not getting my hopes up though...

I'm not high on McDermott. He wasn't any good at Iowa State, and he's had several so-so seasons at Creighton.

If there are money issues with Lutz then we certainly couldn’t afford McDermott since he just signed an extension.

If there are money issues with Lutz then we certainly couldn’t afford McDermott since he just signed an extension.

Unless the money issues are that he is asking way too much for a guy who's only been a head coach for 3 years.
