College hoops coaching firing/hiring thread

So all the non-football playing schools in the Big East are mid-majors?
Umm, I had no idea...

 

I've said South Florida is the worst job in the Big East and perhaps the worst job in the major D-I conferences, but at least Heath is still coaching. Woolard probably dropped to his knees when he realized Heath was available.

It's actually a no-pressure job for Heath, and if he can turn it around, then he can pretty much go anywhere he wants in a few years.

 

Oh yeah...Georgetown, that Final Four team? Mid-major.

 

They have a football team.

 

Webby is mobilizing the troops against you as we speak.

 

DePaul Football. You know you want it, if they ever consider having a program.

 

Looks like we have a new coach in Iowa City. Presser set for tomorrow: http://desmoinesregister.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070402/SPORTS020504/70402044/1001&lead=1

Ben Maller just said it's Todd Lickleiter. If it's true, it's a good hire in my opinion.

 

FSN said the same thing a few minutes ago. It'll cost UM $2.5 million, but it's worth getting him.

The Big 10 is going to be interesting next winter.

 

Compared to Minnesota and Michigan's hires, Iowa looks a bit cheap......
I like Lickliter as a hire, but it's kind of like shopping at Target when your neighbors are whipping out the credit card at Saks Fifth Avenue.

 

Boeheim has as many years left as he wants... 5 seems about right and that would be Beilein's next (last?) big move.
