Who is your top choice to replace KK?

[lvrebalum2012]

I have a buddy whose son was being recruited by a KK assistant. He told me at the start of conference play Kevin was gone.

Everybody was saying that…

Yep.

And he knew it.

MARVIN WAS HIGHLY RECOMMEND BY LON KRUGER. REMEMBER THAT HE WAS ON LON'S STAFF AT UNLV FOR A YEAR. LON WAS PARTLY RESPONSIBLE FOR OUR LAST FEW COACHING DISASTERS.

Time to go all LVHiker on this hire..

I said it. Hire Lindy LaRoque or a woman that wants to coach Men’s BB.

Can you imagine the Lindy Offense in Men’s BB??

The time is NOW!!

If we go the assistant route, Hartman is a very good choice.

I don't think we have to try to burn all the bridges with the Krugers. I don't blame them for shoehorning Kevin here or fighting to keep his job. We allowed it to happen.

I don't blame Kruger for Menzies either. Menzies was dumb enough to take the job when it was during a somewhat self imposed death penalty. He was a last resort hire for a team that had little options.

Hartman is a good candidate that knows the school. I prefer a head coach, but I am not against Hartman. I would put him above a few HC's that have been mentioned. But he would not be at the top of my list.

He helped take Lon to the next level at OU, and he has done the same at Florida. We shouldn't pass on a promising coach just because he happens to have a relationship with our second most successful, HOF coach. Just because they got Kevin in here.

Yeah..

#2 coach of an SEC championship team.. who will be a #1 seed…

If he shows interest..

Hard to pass him up.. even if he is buddy buddy with Lon…

Hartman has been an assistant coach for 29 years. IMO, he has to have had chances to go to lower programs and prove himself. Something has held him back. Whatever it is I don't want to see it revealed here.

Former HC is the way to go, we now have success in going that route here in arguably the toughest but biggest sport in our football program but some just want to be contrary just to be contrary and say “but he’s a good assistant” that’s not the point?!

We need someone who has led an entire D-1 program before with some success doing it and no it doesn’t mean national championships either, so don’t bring that up!

An assistant would be learning on the job and UNLV should be past that stage in hiring coaches in any sport now.

Again, see UNLV football!

This is spot on!! We need someone with head coaching experience who has/had success at the division 1 level.

Again, see UNLV football!Tim Gururich was a fantastic assistant but we saw what happened when he tried to step in for Tark.
