Windy's List of Leading replacements

[windywave]

This was deleted from somewhere else so I thought I would at least share my thoughts on it here. Since there are 10 options I am going to add a few more than I had somewhere else.

[windywave]

My choice is Gard from Wisconsin if anyone cares.

[JDTulane]

Good pedigree but could he recruit well down south away from Wisco? Don't know enough on that front.

He recruits nationally and lets be honest it can't be worse than what we have now. Besides, assistants can help down South if it really came to that.

Saul's teams seem to be very cyclical with highs n lows. I wonder what the cause is. I can't think its just freshman rising to senior and rebooting... drop off seems to far for that.

Would you want to go to Fargo? I think he probably has problems getting consistent recruits there

I like what White did this year and Tulane needs to be doing anything it can to "push back" against the progress of LaTech and ULL. Those schools have credible leadership and are taking advantage of Tulane's weakness, so stealing a coach from LaTech would be a double win.

At this point I'd go w/ Ron Everhart. If he had been hired when Perry left this mess wouldn't exist. I think he could get the job done and like CJ he would stay as it is the job he always wanted. I do like White and would be glad to get him but unfortunately by the time we get around to hiring someone he'll be gone.

[dpm wave]

Apparently Larry Brown at 73 and Steve Fisher at 68 aren't too old to have winning programs. But if I bring up Kevin Mackey, 67, I'll get ridiculed. Especially when the guy looks 10 years younger than the other 2.
Oh, I forgot, Coach K is also 67. And Boeheim is 69.

[Wavetrader]

Glad windy posted the poll here! White is the safe pick, but it would be interesting to see if we could lure up and comer Brad Underwood here. Great pedigree, but is probably looking for head coaching job at K State in the intermediate to longer term. He could help us in the near term.

[billow]

Haven't seen his named mentioned but my vote goes to a New Orleans guy with name recognition is Avery Johnson.

[windywave]

If the rumors of Shaka going to Marquette are true, that's good news for us because that means Gard is still in play. I know I know we need to fire Conroy first, but I believe in long term planning.

I like White first. Understanding Tulane and this area, is very important IMO. As mentioned elsewhere, I can't see RD swallowing his pride and hiring the son of a former AD, sad.

I would like to add big Al Skinner to the list. The guy does more with less and we have seen how tough the BC job is after his replacement tanked despite a solid pedigree.

[Fred Dowler]

Agree about Rick Dickson probably not wanting to bring in the son of a former athletics director.

My vote is for Al Skinner as well, brought him up midseason and it was deleted from the other forum. Has proven track record and runs a system(flex offense) that allows lesser talented teams to compete with the big boys. Also a proven track record of finding under recruited players(Troy Bell, Jared Dudley, Craig Smith, Reggie Jackson etc.)

Don't forget "the stack" as well.

My vote is for Seth Greenberg. I think he's proven he can get it done at high levels, taking VaTech to the dance out of the ACC, beating Duke, etc. He's a bit abrasive for Cowen's taste, so I doubt he'd get a shot until after July 1st. Kevin White would get serious consideration if I were making the decision. So would Bobby Hurley.

My issue with some former coaches is the fact that they may not agree to the significant pay cut they would have to take at TU. Bobby Hurley would certainly put some butts in the seats at Devlin.

Going to bring Kevin White back from Notre Dame? Go for it.

OOPS! Mike White, Kevin White, my bad! I don't know that Kevin coached basketball, but he's sure done himself proud at ND. His "AD Tree" is impressive as well. So is the family tree.

So we don't have a competitive budget? To go along with cheap/small facilities? Good to know that it's official now that "The Playbook" was all just a bunch of lies. But hey, it worked, as so many Tulane fans got on board.

[LSU Law Greenie]

I voted for Joe Pasternak at Arizona.

That's why I like the assistant route, as long as they were in a program that recruited well.

Great to have Windy over here!

Do a lot of you read over there and not post or just welcoming to a very excitable guy from Chicago?
