Next Razorback Basketball Coach

[SuperHog]

Tubby will be leaving either on his own or by force, but given that these other guys would leave...who'd you take? 

If you vote for someone else-specify.

Ok 5 names mentioned and not a chance in hades of getting any of them. 

[Apathy]

I think Beeline at West Virgina should be given serious consideration.

[VoR]

Linda Lovelace or anyone else for that matter that doesn't choke on the big one's.

[snag]

In our dreams we could get Billy Donovan - the best coach in the SEC.

[hogtheball]

I doubt Mark Few would even leave Gonzaga for the Duke job.  Nice to dream, though.

I hate that man with all the passion within me.  There is no way we hire him after what he said about Arkansas.  I'd rather have Susie Gardner coach the mens team than have them led by that POS.

[ThaRockArkansas]

Mike Anderson or Doc Sadler

Mike Anderson or Doc Sadler

Well style of play is not your deciding factor.  Mike plays Nolan ball and Sadler plays Princeton ball.  COuld not be more different. 

[hogtheball]

Agreed. Why not at least list coaches who we can  dream about.  At least 3 of these guys are untouchable.

Well, Sadler and Mike faced each other last week.  UTEP beat UAB 65-37.  It would be tough to argue Anderson's style of ball was better in that case.

[MJ2]

Only logical choice to instill interest and a winning program....... PAT SUMMIT @ TN!

[LordStanleysHog]

I like Huggins but it'll probably be Anderson

[litmachog]

Mike Anderson - he can do the job and he would be happy to be here and not be looking over the shoulder for another job (their dream job) that all the others would be doing.

[A-Town Hog Fan]

Nolan Richardson  :razorback:

[Ish O]

I think Beeline at West Virgina should be given serious consideration.

Remember when Stan was hired his other job interview was with WVU. Think those fans are upset that Stan chose the Hogs?

[MJ2]

Couldn't have said it better!.

Nolan Richardson  :razorback:

[PiggoBitttys]

Karl Hobbs!

How about Slick Rick? There's more talent at AR now than what he has.

I love this board...and I'm as positive-minded as the next guy...ok..maybe not as much as a few huggers on here..but I have patience for both Heath and Nutt when others do not.  Having said that...I'm amazed you guys really believe some of the largest coaching names would just drop everything and crawl to Arkansas if we began a coaching search.  Mark Few's name KEEPS popping up...and I know he wasn't interested in coming here when we hired Heath!!  Its been a long time since '94 and '95 guys!  We are still a desirable program, don't get me wrong, but we don't have the cred to just whip up any hot coach we want....lets be realistic.  By the way....why the reject coaching lists I've seen?  Nobody wants Snyder, Sutton, Huggins,Majerus, etc...all have problems associated with them (Majerus' health) 

The truth is...when we hired Heath...he was a one yr wonder....on the rise..but VERY fortunate.  He's literally learning on the job and its obvious.  I think he can get it done...but if I knew the answer was 6 yrs into his tenure, not sure I'd give him my blessing again!  I think the relevant question here is...how  long is realistically enough time for a coach to turn things around here?..and how bad was the program REALLY..when Heath took it over? IMO it was worse than we thought.  Heath HAS enough talent to be doing better though...not defending him.  If we'd won at Miss St, at least split with both Bama & LSU, we'd be fine...and last night's loss would be more tolerable.

i dont think anyone in the nation would want the duke job. who could possibly follow the greatest basketball coach of all time?

[LordStanleysHog]

I don't know why don't you ask the guy who followed John Wooden, Coach K's good but he's no Wooden.

[nwarazfan]

I don't know why don't you ask the guy who followed John Wooden, Coach K's good but he's no Wooden.

No Coach K hasn't cheated like Wooden did. It was public knowedge how Wooden built those teams.  Different era now too. 

[Cajun Hog]

Mike Anderson or Doc Sadler

Mike-Maybe
No way on Doc!

What's the infatuation with midmajor coaches?  Sure, Bruce Pearl worked out but lets get a bigtime name in here.   Don't listen to hogsanity.  I can think of a couple of million reasons why any of those guys would come.  We have the money.  Our boosters have the money.  Money is not an issue.

I believe money will be a issue with paying Nolan $500K and Stan $317K for 4 years.  I like Texas A & M coach Billy Gillespie or Mike.  I doubt Mike would take the job.

[hogsNbeer]

First of all, I give all new coaches 5 years... Basketball, football, baseball and the likes..... I dont' care if you think they are different I give them all 5..... So believe me, if next year is like this year most likely I would have to say by by to HEATH....... Only in that instance would I want another coach...... and I think James Dickey should atleast be strongly considered for the Job..... Hell he's coached with Eddie Sutton for 100 years....Dickey knows x's and o's like the back of his hand I bet..... I think he would be a good one..... :razorback:

[johnny cash]

I like Huggins but it'll probably be Anderson

If Huggins comes sales of liquor will go up in the fayeteville area and we will have more of his players serving us at fastfood chains after they finish playing ball.

[Deuce Pigelow]

My wishful thinking is Pitino would like to come back to the SEC

Why would you give football and basketball coaches the same amount of time to turn a program around? Basketball is much easier to change quickly. James Dickey? Please tell me that'll never happen.

[hoggystyle78]

That would be awesome if Pitino or Tubby would come to Arkansas but you guys will have to excuse me if I don't hold my breath. Best case scenario, Kentucky either fires or accepts Tubby's resignation and he comes to Arkansas, while that would be great I have to wonder if Tubby would even take the job if offered, remember he and Nolan were good friends so you have to wonder if that could prevent him from accepting if offered. I think without a doubt it's time for Stan to go but if were just gonna turn around and hire another up and comer who will have to learn on the job then we should just keep who we've got. Hopefully JFB will open the wallet and get a big time coach in here.

[snoutface]

The guy at Pittsburgh- don't remember his name.

[Jerry Swinefeld]

Pitino

[spookytooth]

The guy at Pittsburgh- don't remember his name.

jamie dixon...i like him and al skinner at Boston College..both get players that are not highly recruited and get them to play tough, smart basketball and would be a huge upgrade here.

[Dwight_K_Shrute]

I heard WVA AD sends Frank a Honey Baked Ham and a card every Christmas.

[fieldturf]

Big Joe from Slater Mo would be a good one if he were interested.........

[12under]

agreed

mike will never coach here.  he wouldnt

[Broken Trigger]

1.  John Beilein
2.  Rick Pitino
3.  Bill Self

[Topcat]

It's not going to matter. Heath saved his job today. No way they would cut him loose now.

[lunchbox72703]

Danny Nutt.....just kidding

[mchogfan]

I believe that the Hogs should have realistically won 4 more games than they have this year.  So, I do think that they have slightly underacheived.  BUT, I think that Stan's teams continue to be better each year.  And until he starts going backwards or it's obvious that we have "maxed out" under him, he should return. 

[wrightobe]

Steve Alford--He understands the people of the Ozarks, and the "fly-over states".  In others words, he is middle America, and would play basic fundamental hard nosed basketball, stressing defense, such as Eddie Sutton does.

Isn't he heading to Indiana?

[JustoHogFan]

How bout Silvertip he seems to know everything about basketball, hell he even has his points per shot shitte(actually its not and I understand but who really want to talk about that BS)

[1967 Grad]

How about Scotty Thurman?....He knew how to win and could instill it in the current players. Also best bet of keeping Brewer around another year.

[pigfeet]

I haven't ever heard anyone bring this name up, but what about Darrell Walker? Not saying he would be good or bad but just wondering about your thoughts.
