Howland is almost 60 years old

[anon1787432961]

Doesn't that bother anyone else? Old enough to be our other two coaches dad.

If Ray was our players father figure, Howland will be their grandfather figure?

How old is Rick Ray?

 

[esplanade91]

Known power conference commodities aren't usually Ray's age, and without looking it up I'd guess his age is near the average.

 

[Treemydawg]

Yes you are exactly right, great thing we didn't hire Vic Schaefer as our women's bball coach. Hell he's to old to win ****

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

Pitino is 62, Calipari is 56

Need good assistants.

 

[JacksonDevilDog]

He's 58 and it's not too old. He's experienced and has coached at the most successful college basketball program in the country in UCLA. He took them to 3 Final Fours and did extremely well at Pittsburgh.

 

[57stratdawg]

He's a decade younger than Coach K.

Bruce a Pearl is 55

Was everyone concerned about his age when auburn hired him?

 

[Old Fart Dawg]

Howland is 57, Cohen is 48, Mullen is 42.

I think there is still a lot of fire in the belly to win. 57 isn't old. He is still in his prime.

 

[anon1787432961]

So it's about the assistants that come with the older coach then

Larry Brown is 74. He couldn't advance past the first round because of his weak immune system on account of his old age.

We don't want a coach to get us to the tournament if he can't stay healthy enough to get to the Final 4.**

he will be getting free coffee from mcd's!!!!!!!

zOMG!!%$?!!!!#!!!

 

[BoDawg.sixpack]

For purposes of MSU men's basketball, 60 is the new 40.

That boy got at least another 20 years in him.

 

[aTotal360]

He's practically dead. **

It is not free. It is 50 cents. Our next coach will probably be able to pay full price. With contract extensions we paid Rick Ray $5,000,000 for three years. For salaried employees that equals to earning $100,000 per year for fifty years. Both the old coach and the new one will be able to pay full price at McD's.

"Howling" with the Dogs

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

I'm not dead yet!**

 

[BulldogBlitz]

Yes he is*

 

[PineGroveBully]

Throw in a coffin to sweeten the deal.

 

[Shmuley]

I spotted him checking out the cemetery next to Old Waverly.

 

[Shamoan]

for the record, hes 57.

 

[GloryDawg]

Howland is 57, Cohen is 48, Mullen is 42.

Nick Saban is 62 or so.

Good lord. The man is 57 years old. It's not like we need a 20-year commitment from him. He's got more than 5 good years left in him easily, probably at least 10. Hell, John Wooden was only 3 years younger when he won his first national title.

 

[dawgoneyall]

I am over 60. What exactly is your point?

 

[dogmatic]

I'm feeling much better ...

..

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

No you're not, you'll be stone dead in a moment!

+1

 

[yjnkdawg]

What is the relevance of this thread?

 

[ckDOG]

No.

If this were football, yes. Very different sports and ways for preparation and motoivation. Not worried about 50-something at all.

Ray isn't getting $2 million more from us. One mill tops. The last year isn't guaranteed.
