Who is your top choice to replace KK?
- Thread starter TimothyC3
- Start date
You got to be kidding. Look at his Fresno record. Ckk and him would be in the same tier. No way you gas CKK without going higher tier.
Marshall, Wade, McCollum, Terry (if fired from Texas) or maybe a miracle and the price is Wright!
So guys who are actively coaching now who we can afford a buyout on:
1. WIll Wade
2. Bucky McMillan
3. Alan Huss
4. Chris Mack
5. Takayo Siddle
Guys who aren't coaching who I wouldn't say no to (probably)
1. Greg Marshall
2. Kevin Keatts
1. WIll Wade
2. Bucky McMillan
3. Alan Huss
4. Chris Mack
5. Takayo Siddle
Guys who aren't coaching who I wouldn't say no to (probably)
1. Greg Marshall
2. Kevin Keatts
Wright is definitely the guy I want but that is not happening. Will Wade is the more realistic guy. Also, not sure of the buyout but I would love to see Archie Miller here.
I hear Paul Westhead is still looking for a job
Speaking of which, I asked Grok a few days ago to recommend veteran coaches for the role, and for some reason, it gave me Bobby Cremins as a recommendation. 🤣

I don't think Jay Wright is coming back here.
Will Wade has already had meetings with NCState, I think he's going to end up heading to a P4, I would love to have him but with Florida State, NCState, Iowa, Indiana, Miami, and Minnesota all looking for new head men, I think wright will probably end up in the ACC.
He got an $8.65 million contract in 2023, looks like there's 2 years left at 1.9 million a year, so I'd guess probably a little under 4 million buyout, which means we probably can't afford it.
Is Bobby Cremins still alive? He looked like he was in is 80’s in the 90’s.
Will Wade end of story. WW would more likely kill it here than NC State. The intangibles our heavy in our favor. Might make more at NC State , but we have way more upside than they do. Not a truly honest opinion, but one with some logic behind it.
Will Wade strikes me as the type of guy who would choose UNLV just because it is UNLV, but $$$$ always talks I suppose
NCState was pretty cheap on Keatts's contract compared to the other ACC contemporaries. But he was still getting paid 3.4 million after his last extension per year. That's what we paid Kevin over 4 years and half of his buyout.
I have a hard time being too hopeful--maybe his NCAA troubles will drive his price down?
He’s clear of them now, other than the reputation stain …. But scandal lasts about 2 hours nowadays. People forget quickly.
The only other advantage when comparing salaries is no state tax here, so it’s not dollar for dollar.
But I think we max out at 2M regardless unless someone unexpected really steps up.
I think the past allegations won't hurt most places. But some of the ACC and B1G programs are super holier-than-thou when it comes to impropriety. I don't think Iowa for example would even call him just because of that.
No Nevada state tax is nice, but the sales and property tax sort of make up for things. Cost of living counts on a lot of things, north carolina has a 4.5 state income tax, but the cost of living overall is still about 2-3% lower. I pay 9% combined state and county tax in indiana and I still come out ahead on overall cost of living by like 12%.

Search firms are awful.
They have clients that they look to offload.
But the main reason is to keep leaks down.
I would have to think I would take a chance on "Bucky Ball" McMillan. An up tempo aggressive style would be a welcome sight at the T&M.
Add McMillan to this list also, I couldn’t remember his name earlier! Lol
Go get travis decuire from montana and he will completely revamp the culture and he has a staff to go recruit!
NO FREAKING WAY on Pasterack.
On Bucky 99-50, won the So Con. 29-6 last year and finished 4th this year, so not sure on him, i know he plays up tempo.
I want coach who dominates the lower leagues if that's the direction were going in or get veteran coach who went to P5 where it's hard to win and the coach won in lower leagues? Or find the best assistant coach who wants to run and can recruit and hire a staff.
Now Harper can go do it? At least KK slow style is over, and whats funny, KK didnt not play slow style at all, so why coach it?
Who is the Niko Medved of the mid majors this year?
That is who I want..
Dude just wins..
CRhodes

He’s a much better coach than what we have had here the last 4 years!
But I think we can do better than him too!
Wade I know it's a longshot but man would he bring excitement back to this program.
