That would be crazy. Man we may have a rough go finding someone. I’m hoping they don’t get Otzelburger or McCastland. I think they are our best bet of getting a good coach fast.
Sadly, it says we have to back up the brinx truck. We might need to pay $12-$13m and force one of these coaches to take the pay day.
Supposed Otz has turned them down too. I'm telling y'all, NOBODY wants the heat when you can build a team anywhere.
If I can be happy working at Company X and make 7M a year (which is more than most people see ever), why on EARTH would I go to Company C or K for more money and insanely more stress? If I make the Top 8 or even the Top 4 at Company X, and can hang in or around that same level of performance and be like at Company C? There's no WAY I'm leaving.
You all know I'm not a "blame the fans" guy. But that does factor in as well. If the fan base is gonna get riled up in Season 3 or beyond that adds to their decision.
And that may not be enough anymore. Lloyd supposedly took less money (than he would've been offered at UNC per se) to STAY at Zona.
The jig is up for good coaches. They're going to stay in their jobs unless truly moving up (like May to UM).
It is definitely harder to convince a coach to make the move to one of the 5 blue bloods. It takes a guy with a huge ego who wants all the attention and wants to be the king.
A guy like Pitino or Calipari. The guy that comes to mind would be Oats. I don’t know if any of the other highly desirable coaches meet the criteria. I do think Vandy’s coach would be a guy to jump at the UK opportunity even though he doesn’t seem to care about all the attention, but realizes he could kill it at UK.
Sounds like we will have to roll the dice on an up and comer at a small school with a proven track record.
