Figured it's worth spinning up a thread on this, given all the rumors floating around the past week, along with Texas just firing Rodney Terry after blowing last night's game against Xavier.

 

[Eurocat]

Could you redo the list with coaching searches ended on top?

 

[CappyNU]

A few updates:

• Fordham fired their coach after 3 seasons, each worse than the last
• Longtime Bill Carmody nemesis Ed DeChellis, owner of a 12-4 record (10-1 in his last 6 seasons) against the 'Cats, has retired from Navy.
• Denver fired their coach after 4 seasons
• NC State will hire Will Wade from McNeese
• Iona hired an assistant from the NBA's Pelicans
• Campbell hired an assistant from the Gators

 

[CappyNU]

Texas is hiring Sean Miller from Xavier while Virginia is hiring Ryan Odom from VCU. You may remember Odom as the coach of UMBC when they upset Virginia in the first ever 16/1 upset.

Iowa hiring Ben McCollum from Drake

 

[PURPLECAT88]

Still nothing from Villanova. I'm not going to relax until they hire someone else or NU announces a Collins extension.

At least it makes sense that VU is delayed. If Willard and Cronin are both realistic possibilities, then VU needs to wait - especially for Willard. Not only does he play another weekend, but the Maryland AD took another job "Friday." I assume everyone knew earlier.

If they wanted CC, he would've signed by now.

 

[EagerFan]

ESPN is reporting (from "sources") that Minnesota is hiring Medved from Colorado State.

 

[CappyNU]

Lots of updates, including Sacramento State hiring Mike Bibby, who hasn't coached anywhere since 2019, when he left his high school coaching job due to sexual assault allegations...

You can relax. It’s Willard and it’s done.

 

[ThatkidfromHolland]

What is rumored about Willard doing to the Maryland team makes you really respect Izzo’s press conference even more.

and Will Wade.

and Will Wade.

I’m not talking just leaving/negotiating during the tournament. Willard is rumored to have skipped a team dinner and let the AHC run it and is also rumored to be recruiting the transfer portal for Villanova already.

Compared to Izzo’s press conference:



Izzo is a class act and an all around nice guy if you ever get the chance to meet him. He’s the kind of coach you love to play for no matter how hard he is on you.

I saw clips of this earlier. It's awesome! I like our coach, but Izzo is easily my next favorite coach in the BIG.

Willard is a spineless maggot and I hope this blows up in Villanova face.

Is there a fingers crossed emoji? But thank you. Nothing makes me relax as much as someone on the internet telling me I can relax. It's like we're up 10 with 90 seconds to go. Sure I can relax, but am I going to?

In defense of Willard, no maggot has a spine.

You can relax. We won't blow a lead for at least the next 7 months!

I apologize to maggots world wide.

 

[Purple Pile Driver]

I drew Maryland in a blind draw ( against the spread). Not feeling good about it at all.

 

[T_Levine]

Crazy. CBS in DC is reporting Willard is gone and Maryland is already looking at new coaches with the AMERICAN University coach on the shortlist. My kid went to AU and lives in DC where she’s found the info.

Douche bag if this is true
