2022 Coaching Carousel

[Adunk33]

Many of the names folks hoped would get the ISU job have landed at their next destination. I'm not tracking all of the changes just ones that could be interesting/names thrown around for the ISU job.

Sean Miller: Xavier
Archie Miller: Rhode Island
Mississippi State: Chris Jans
Dennis Gates: Mizzou
Tim Jankovich: "Retired."
Murray State's HC Matt McMahon to LSU


Mark Schmidt is currently the HC at St. Bonaventure...rumor has it he's being offer 1.8 mill/year to take over the program at A10 Conference Rival UMASS. That will be a fun story to watch.

Feel free to post any other interesting coaching moves.

If A10 schools are throwing around that money then MVC truly needs to step up. Archie got over $1 mil too.

 

[DWRedbird]

One other interesting situation to watch is SMU is targeting Grant McCasland to replace Jank with his current team North Texas about to join the AAC.

A couple mentioned wanting to swoop up Dane Fife

Peegs.com sources: Dane Fife will not be returning to Indiana as an assistant coach

Dane Fife will not be returning to the Indiana basketball program as an assistant coach, a number of sources tell Peegs.com. Fife spent this past season as an assistant to head coach Mike Woodson. Woodson was in his first season as the IU head coach after more than two decades as a head coach...

Yes, A10 has a network TV contract, at least two games every weekend.

Missouri State associate head coach Corey Gipson leaving to become head coach at Northwestern State

Gipson just finished his seventh season on Missouri State's staff. He was the lone carryover from former head coach Paul Lusk's staff to Dana Ford's.

Dana lost his associate head coach

Maybe Dane Fife comes here as Associate HC and Coach Muller lands in the other Bloomington (IU)?

I'd still really like bringing back Jud as a "bench" guy.

Tommy Kleinschmidt anyone?

Cleveland State (I despise when a city is named a state) Ball State (I despise when a testicle or sphere is acknowledged as a state) Miami, Ohio (it's sunny there 5/365) are all viable as well. The Murray job would be even more awkward than the departure from RA.

His time with Parkins on The SCORE was gold. He's a great analyst.

If he could just learn to turn - and leave - his mic on…

New Mexico State replaces Jan’s with another Greg from Wichita State…. Greg Heiar. He was on Marshall’s staff with Jan’s. Wouldn’t put it past him to put Greggggggg on his staff.

In other news, St. Peter’s coach is finalizing a deal to take over at Seton Hall. What a life changing 2 weeks for that guy.

From what I had heard Holloway to Seaton Hall was a done deal before the tourney, which makes the last two weeks even more wild.

Butler has parted ways with LaVall Jordan. He'll be a hot commodity for a P5 bench job but the "coaching world" is a small one. Pedon, Offutt, and Dakich all follow him. Unlikely but would be a welcomed addition.

 

[BirdGrad2011]

Butler sucks for this. They hurt the staffs chances at getting a new job by waiting this long. They’ve been done 20+ days, but Butler waited because of the buyout. So shitty.

 

[PurpleRedbird]

Good thing we got Coach Pedon when we did. Wouldn't think he would leave but stranger things have happened.

Could the next MVC coaching change be at SIU? SIU fans are currently campaigning for Mullins to demote himself to Assistant to open the door for the return of....Chris Lowery.

Mullins is in the 4th year of a 5 year contract. Might happen after 2023-2024 but not before.

Pretty sure that was a troll. Read later in the thread- no SIU fan wants Lowery back.

Elons HC is leaving to be an assistant at Duke. He had previously been there with Coach K. Perhaps why Dakich was so excited to take this job.

 

[cardinal]

With Elon's coach leaving and Dakich here now. Will be interesting to see if Darius Buford from Bolingbrook avged 13ppg enters the transfer portal. HS commit Nick Martinelli from Glenbrook South can hoop too will be interesting to see if he decommits.

 

[Adunk33]

One of Wichita State's assistants is leaving to join the bench at..... Ball State....

You'd think no one would ever want to take such a step down from the "Power Conference" that is Conference USA, er, American.
