sleepy Posted March 10, 2010 Report Posted March 10, 2010 I will let the cat out of the bag. It will take one of two things happening for us to have a new coach next year. If Rod Strickland becomes the head coach at Depaul then Roc is gone to Kentucky. If Tony Barbee becomes the head coach at Depaul Rod Strickland will likely become his top assistant. Bottom line is Roc has realized had he stayed at Memphis with Cal he would be the head coach there now. If Strickland leaves Kentucky that will open up an assistants job and Roc will take it. If that indeed happens look for Alvin Brooks, and Rodney Terry(Current Texas assistant) to be in the running for the job. By the way.....I love the Quinn Snyder suggestion. I think he would be a home run!
Guest mffl Posted March 11, 2010 Report Posted March 11, 2010 Rodney Terry would be awesome! Look at what former UT assistant Ken McDonald has done at WKU.

As for Snyder and Brooks, I would prefer NOT to hire someone that's already proven they can't coach. Even though I love Brooks. Man, what a point guard!! I guarantee you he could still school anyone we have on campus. I wonder if he has any eligibility left?

He was hardly a disaster at Missouri. 126-91 in his time there include 4 straight NCAA appearances including an elite 8. That is not a disaster. He did do some things that were frowned upon but a second chance for a guy like this could work. As for the other stuff with Brooks and Terry.......I am just telling you the things that I KNOW are going on. That's it. Not my ideas.

Guest mffl Posted March 11, 2010 Report Posted March 11, 2010 Terry applied for the Texas State job also... why they gave it to Davalos, I have no idea.

texasstud28 Posted March 12, 2010 Report Posted March 12, 2010 How about Billy Gillispie? No, seriously, I'm not joking. If he ever intends to coach again at a major school, he needs to revive his career. Hopefully he has gotten his life in order, and I think Lamar would be a fresh start.

BadMedicine Posted March 12, 2010 Report Posted March 12, 2010 Certainly Tom Abatemarco will be interested in the job ;D
