coach hot seats
« on: February 27, 2025, 08:40:50 AM »
Woodson is gone

Fran, lot of talk of moving on or he will retire

Pikiell name has been mentioned since this year was a massive letdown but I don't see it

Hoiberg??? He ain't cutting it

I think Ben Johnson gets one more year

Jake Diebler? such a weird hire.

Woodson is gone - needed to happen, all parties knew this. This was a convenient "firing".

Fran, lot of talk of moving on or he will retire, He won't coach anywhere else, his "legacy" is too important to him (ego).

Pikiell name has been mentioned since this year was a massive letdown but I don't see it, He could move on with the stud recruiting class going to be gone...might be better opportunities out there.

Hoiberg??? He ain't cutting it, he is in Nebraska, huge hotbed for basketball....not, he is safe unless he wants something different and he has NO buyout so it will make any move easy, he is the most likely to jump to a better program imo.

I think Ben Johnson gets one more year, he has done just enough, problem is Garcia is gone after this year, he will be after next.

Jake Diebler? such a weird hire. Started strong, the school if firing without cause only owes him around 1.6 mil, easy to raise that amount from the deep pockets.

Does the most wins in the program's history count for anything ?

Re: Fran. What legacy?

Legacy meaning his place within that school, why go elsewhere and possibly diminish how he is thought of and what he has done there.

Fran is on the way out, within 1-3 years imo, his recruiting will start to suffer.

Word around here is Fran is retiring. He is a very good individual player offensive development and offensive system scheme coach. Has never had a team that played enough defense to really do much in tourney.
They can be entertaining and kids generally like playing there.
He can be a total stubborn redass rivaling Underwood.
Will be interesting to see who they go after.
They actually have a strong fanbase when decent as there is no pro team in area.
Have trouble recruiting African American players in all major sports (Football/Men's and Womens' BB).

When he first got here it was kind of a package deal with his wife who was a high D1 player at ND and then coach, and also a notorious hot head. Quite a family.

He’s never finished higher than 3rd in the conference and never coached past the round of 32, but sure.

And Jobu thinks I’m the weird one.

Didn’t realize the tourney stat. That’s pretty damning, even at a school that has minimal tourney success since the 80s.

He still is at the top of the list in program wins. Which also means he'll stay there for a while.
