Guys, Coach K isn’t going to be around forever. I think it’s time we discussed who everyone thinks will/should take over when K decides to retire.

This thread has been repeated many times, but I have a question: what about Quin Snyder? He has coached at every level imaginable, including college, NBA, developmental league, overseas. Did the Missouri situation poison him for life?

I would love it Quin Snyder was Duke’s next head coach!

Whoever gets it first had the toughest follow up job maybe in the history of college basketball. Gene Bartow followed Wooden nicely but some say the pressure caused him to leave to try to rebuild a team (UAB). It won’t be easy.

I personally would like to see Scheyer step in. If he took the reigns successfully, he’s young enough to where he could be there for many, many years.

However that might be too tough a follow up for such a young coach. An NBA mind like Snyder would be nice. You could still attract recruits pretty readily with him.

Capel would also be a good choice. Those would be the top 3 on my wishlist.

Good thread. I don't know why we keep trying to avoid discussing this. Coach K will not be at Duke forever. I can think of abouthe 20 candidates but I'm not gonna bore this board with my thoughts.. If it's not Brad Steven's then it's coming from the Duke family. That's the only hint I'm gonna give. OFC

Brad Stevens is not leaving the NBA to come coach at Duke hahaha. If he’s fired/resigns in Boston, he will take a short hiatus, maybe go into broadcasting etc...and have 5 job offers in the NBA waiting when he chooses to return.

I agree that it’s extremely, extremely unlikely. That said, there have been whispers from those in the know who say there’s two ‘dream’ jobs which Stevens would potentially consider. One is Duke. The other is eight miles away.
