List of available BB coaches

[Hogblood]

Its not even the end of February so far:
1. Huggins
2. Sutton
3. Majerus
4. Snyder

Point is we will have some names to choose from. We may need to get a designated driver but what the _ _ _ _?  I would spell out that last word but I have been warned and banned for bad spelling. Anyway the timing seems right and after March who knows what the list will look like.

[Richard_white]

NO
NO
NO
NO

I hope we get someone like Anderson, who plays the style of 40 minutes of HELL!

WPS

[SAUhogfan]

The only one I would want it Sutton. 

[Cresthog]

Are u kidding me? Sutton? Huggins?

Why dont they call us DUI University....

And for real...Sutton do you really think he is about to coach again??

Snyder...HELL NO

Face it...we need Mike   we want Mike

[wishyjoshy]

Sutton won't come back here.  In all actuality, he won't coach again.

[spacity1]

does anyone want nolan rehired now!!!!   hey the raiders did it, why can't WE?

[WILL CLINTON]

you would list Sutton, but not Nolan?  You would really rather have sutton than nolan??

[HOGLIGULA]

hell DUI university I thought that was the name of this place lest we forget the great Turd Furgeson.  maybe if the coach was a little he might show some passion.

[WILL CLINTON]

does anyone want nolan rehired now!!!!   hey the raiders did it, why can't WE?

HELL YES!!!!!  I may start that petition now. 

[Thrilbilly]

does anyone want nolan rehired now!!!!   hey the raiders did it, why can't WE?

HELL YES!!!!!  I may start that petition now. 

We are already paying him arn't we!

[Maddhog]

Wouldn't we have to put in a wet bar at BWA to entice some of those guys?   Might as well add
Eustachy to the mix.

[HawgWild]

Give me Mike Anderson or Mark Few from Gonzaga.

[BossHog13]

does anyone want nolan rehired now!!!!   hey the raiders did it, why can't WE?

As a Raiders fan, I say HELL YEAH!!!

[Thrilbilly]

Give me Mike Anderson or Mark Few from Gonzaga.

Is the Gonzaga coach available.

[PiggoBitttys]

I don't know if I want Mike. I might want Mike more than Heath right now, but there are several other coaches I'd go after first. Mike has never been a great recruiter. He also is very much on the bubble to make the dance this year. There are successful coaches that do not use 40 minutes of Hell Nolan style. We don't have to continue that style of play to be winners. And we should wait till the end of the season, though I will be anxiously awaiting it.

[HOGLIGULA]

hell a wet bar this year would make things interesting, and atleast those guys know what it is like to win a basketball game on the road and in the big dance.

[Dwight_K_Shrute]

That is a list of unemployed coaches.  In theory every coach is available for the right price and the right place.  For some we may not be the right place and for others we may not be willing to pay the price.

Right now we have the wrong coach at the wrong time at the wrong place for the wrong price.

Let's just add Heath to that list of coaches then shop it around to other schools.

[cmevere1027]

you can add mike davis to that list, we WILL never ever get mike anderson

[wishyjoshy]

If I could have ANYONE, I would wany Alford.

[tacomahog]

I would go after Pitino. He might be looking to move on after this season if they don't make the tourney.

[ballhog™]

I think it would be hard to get a successful coach from a bigtime program to come here.  So, look for a mid major coach with at least 4 successful years and NCAA tourneys under his belt.

[BossHog13]

If not Nolan, go get Mike Anderson! We seriously need to get back to Hog Ball! Forty Minutes of Hell!!!

[whatsshakinbacon]

There are plenty of coaches out there that are flying under the radar.  They may not be big names, but they are just waiting in the wings to take over a program like this and win it all.

I'm not worried about finding someone, I'm just worried about us upsetting somebody like Florida, making it to the big dance with this piss-poor basketball team, and saving Heath's butt.

I'm ready to cut bait.

Bacon out...

You got it.  Some of us need to realize that WE are no long a big-time program.

IF you use that logic, neither is Indiana, and I GUARANTEE that they will get a premium coach.

[5 little pigs]

Doc Sadler of UTEP, young, won at JC level, doing a great job at UTEP.

[cardinalhawg]

Majerus would be the best on the list if his health could hold up and he could be here long term.

If I were going to pick coaches, I would want Mike K, or Rick Pitino, but that would be shooting for the stars or the impossible (Coach K)  I think Steve Alford would be a good coach for the Hogs, but then that might not be very probable either.

[ballhog™]

we aren't big time right now, not because we don't have the resources, fan support, or tradition though.

[cardinalhawg]

If one wanted a former Nolan assistant, then Scott Edgar might be a better choice.  He was known as a good recruiter.

[wishyjoshy]

With enough money, we could get Alford.  He would bring discipline and pride back to our program.  That is, if he doesn't go to Indiana.

[whatsshakinbacon]

If one wanted a former Nolan assistant, then Scott Edgar might be a better choice.  He was known as a good recruiter.

Scotty was so bad Duquesne fired him.  I liked him a lot, but his strength, and only strength, was recruiting.

Leave him out of the equation please.

Bacon out...

[chiefsfan]

We ought to give the guy who is coaching at Bucknell a look.     Our best hope is gonna be to hire someone who had a good year at a midmajor.   Major college coaches probably wont consider us.

And for the last time  MARK FEW IS NOT AVAILABLE!!!!

I thought he had success for a while at Murray State or somewhere before going to Duquesne.  Anyways, I would not be clamoring for the Hogs to hire Edgar, but I do feel that people are a little too high on Anderson.  Anderson might be a good coach, and has turned UAB into a decent team, but what he would do at Arkansas is another thing.  He was here when the program went downhill.

If Heath is let go, I would rather see Broyles or the Committee to shoot for the stars and go for a proven commodity.

[PiggoBitttys]

We may not any longer be a big time program, but we can offer big time money, we have a big time facility, we have big time fans, we just don't have the coach to make our program big time. We have more to offer than a lot of places.

I am supporting Karl Hobbs, head coach of GW. Former UCONN assistant who helped lead them to 99 national title. Took over GW, and in his 4th season now, has gone from losing seasons to ranked #8 in the nation. I know he has kids in school though, don't know if he'd move them, or if he'd take the job, but I'm sure we could give him a pay raise.

[HogInaStrangeLand]

Ummm....we looking for someone under the radar who had success at a mid-major?

SOUNDS ODDLY FAMILIAR TO ME....

Like either Nolan or Stan actually.  I just think we need to make sure that this next coach has had more than one year of experience as a head coach before we jump on his bandwagon.

My thoughts, EXACTLY.

[ballhog™]

that's the key, i think, more than one successful year under your belt.

[Dwight_K_Shrute]

Minimum of 4 years experience at current schoo (unless your name is Bruce Pearl).  This will let us know if the guy can recruit, and not just winning with someone else's players.

Track record of steady improvement over that period and achieving the unexpected.  Such as beating teams that are ranked higher and/or successful runs in the post season.

Has a conference road record of .500 or better at a minimum.

Has never coached at Michigan State, or Kent State.

Has the ability to make referees pee in their pants with nothing more than a stare or a few choice words.

[Dwight_K_Shrute]

[bosshawg38]

My vote is ANYONE BUT STAN HEATH.

[Jerry Swinefeld]

I think it would be hard to get a successful coach from a bigtime program to come here.  So, look for a mid major coach with at least 4 successful years and NCAA tourneys under his belt.

I don't agree.  We are a proven, bigtime program - in the right hands.
It has been proven that you can win it all at Arkansas - the right person could do it again, and do it relatively fast.  There is talent on campus, and any new coach coming in now would be stepping into a MUCH better situation than did Nolan or Stan.
The right guy can win at Arkansas NOW.

[tuskavarnna]

Nelson Catalina He's doing sportsweek on sundays , but I'll bet he would give up that glory for a chance to coach Ar.I always liked the guy , and his basketball knowledge is deep.

Nothing against Catalina, but I think we could do better than that!

[Sanctified Swine]

I am telling you now......Rick Barnes would come to UA...He get no fans support in Austin. I live in Austin adn it is a big point of discussion around here. It is not a secret that Rick is frustrated by it. As much as I hate the horns, Rick is an excellent coach who puts a quality product on the floor.

[Sanctified Swine]

also wouldn't it be great to stick it to the horns?!

[Hogblood]

I really wish we could get a pro coach who wants to come back to college if there is a such a thing. Tim Floyd and Larry Brown come to mind. I just saw where Brown is discouraged with the Knicks. I don't want to take a chance on another up and maybe comer maybe not.

[Pyotr Tchaikhogsky]

Is Tubby gonna get fired?  Hell, I'll take anyone if they'll just friggin WIN!

[Dirk Piggler]

I like Beilein from West Virginia. He has them fighting for the top spot in the Big East right now.

[J.A.Y.]

who are the nba guys that are available?
