I bet I'm not alone in not knowing where AT LEAST 6 of those names coach.

 

[Maroon Eagle]

Probably not, but it's pretty easy by process of elimination. If Jones were listed higher, people would be going huh? But since he's #13 on the list, it's a no-brainer.

Not a bad list, but I disagree about Jones. Ranking him at the bottom seems to dismiss the importance of recruiting to the coaching equation, when - in my view - it is the most important piece to the puzzle.

1. Calipari- Here because of his run now, but Donavan possibly has just as much claim to the top spot.
2, Donovan- Could easily be 1. Wouldn't be surprised to see him move on this year.
3. Howland- A whole lot of success at name, urban programs. Will be interesting to see how he adjusts to new school, new location type.
4. Pearl- Been very successful, especially at Tennessee. Never been to the Final Four, One trip to the Elite Eight.
5. A. Kennedy- Don't really care for the guy, but you can't deny he's been as successful as anyone in Ole Miss history. Had multiple teams who probably deserved a bid. Has a traditionally putrid Ole Miss program on the upswing as they move into a new arena.
6. Stallings- Never understood the love for him. Been at Vandy for 16 years, with 6 tourney appearances, which is very Stansburyesque. Hasn't been to tourney since 11-12.
7. Jones- Great recruiter who struggles with x's and o's. If he can keep making the tourney LSU will give him some time, as he is a native son.
8. M. Anderson- Been to the tourney 4 of his last 9 years, which really isn't that impressive considering he's been at 2 "basketball" schools.
9. Fox- Saved his job this season with a trip to the tourney with a fairly young team. Always have felt that Georgia with the right coaching situation could be dominant. He hasn't to this point, and another bad year will likely spell the end for him.
10. B.Kennedy- Really hasn't accomplished much since making the move to college station. Bad luck with some injuries sent them to the NIT this season. If it happens again he will be gone.
11. Martin- Rode the coattails of Huggins at K-State and has truly benefited from it. Surprised his lack of tact and demeanor has lasted this long in the deep south. Next year will be his last barring a major turnaround.
12. K.Anderson- Doubt he will be given a chance to succeed at Missouri. They won't be as patient as schools were at his prior level, Division 2. Not sure he's a great fit regardless.
13. Tyndall- He's a slimeball who will likely get fired and possibly a show cause after information comes out with the Southern Miss situation.
