If he does not make the 2d weekend of the TOTTM, but I am sure there are those who will seek to hold us captive by reminding us of the Dark Days of Groce and end of Weber!

Then we can replace him with Tyler

Bobby Hurley? Not quite East Coast but pretty damn close.

Hubert Davis gonna get talked about again............

McNamara might just have landed the Syracuse position now.

Hurley I think still should be looked at for Cincy....Providence too easy, plus the cabinets gonna be bare I think also.

Deibler may be on the outs as well....Imagine if Hurley came to Columbus...LOL, thats a mismatch for sure.

Can’t imagine they’d shitcan Diebler but who knows. They had a solid finish to the season aside from today and he’s a Buckeye through and through. Think he gets another year.

Have to think Hubert’s seat has to be red hot.

Diebler's name has come up before and he will have a small buyout. He is not a bad coach, just not sure he is a P-5 Winning Coach....I mean in the B1G it's rough. Bynum for him though will be a stud next year if he stays.

Hubert Davis is pretty much gone, so best case scenario for replacement

Byington from Vandy?
Drew from Baylor?
Hurley from unemployment line?
Calhoun from Utah State, vanilla hire, but has the chops.
McNamara from Sienna

Time for UNC to go outside the tree I think.

OSU firing Diebler would be idiotic. They were 9-25 in the 2023-2024 conference games before he took over. He did not inherit Michigan.

Don't disagree, however, colleges are known for doing some idiotic things.....so.......
