2025-26 College basketball coaching carousel

I'll bet whatever felt like a sticking point in the fall became A-OK with him once the non-con losses started stacking up.
 
Curious why it took so long to sign the deal. Why not do it before the season and announce immediately? That would have prevented the "hot seat" talk. It'll be moot. They're making the tournament and will do some damage.

Even a tourney run only reduces the heat a little bit. Kevin Keatts is an idiot again now that NC State has returned to mediocrity.
 
Maybe it has been discussed up-thread but doesn't Porter Moser's seat have to be hot?

Even at a basketball-apathetic school like Oklahoma, four years without a tourney bid -- the Sooners' longest such stretch since the late 1970s -- isn't gonna cut it.
 
And when football is as forgettable as it was last season at OU, that figures to only put the spotlight on the other sports. Good (softball, women's basketball, gymnastics?) and bad (men's basketball).
 
You can take off the question mark for gymnastics. They are the It team in that sport.

I don't really think of Oklahoma as a bastion of girl power, but it is wild to so how great the support is for those women's sports and how comparatively soft OU's support is for baseball and men's hoops even during good years.
 
I don't think it's been mentioned previously, but, yeah, it's gotta be. FWIW, I've known Porter for a long time. He's a good dude.
Sure seems to be.
My first exposure to the late Tony Barone was when Creighton was still in the Missouri Valley. The late deck Fick, another funny character, was Barone's lead assistant.
That MVC tournament had to be one of the last ever held at Kiel Auditorium in St. Louis.
Could be wrong but, IIRC, Moser was on the same Blue Jays team as Chad Gallager and Bob Harstad. And, IIRC, Creighton won that tournament and advanced to the NCAAs.
 
Moser could probably float back to some mid-major job within a day's drive of Chicago. But from what I've seen on this board he doesn't need the money and I have a sneaky suspicion he'd make a good color analyst.
