2734722, if Gonzaga wins, offer Mark Few $8 or $10 mil a year
Posted by BrooklynWHAT, Thu Apr-01-21 11:11 AM
if he loses no chance he leaves but if he wins I think he'd consider a 10 year bid at UNC to finish off his career. like i said in the Carousel thread, we are a UNIQUE opportunity & platform. even if you are established where you are have to consider it. make these guys look at everything on the table and still say No.

however it's going to be Wes Miller
2734723, lol

2734731, Few likes fishing at his cabin in Washington.

You can make the offer, but it's a waste of time. I've given up on the idea that Duke could pursue him either.

Certain guys just aren't gonna leave. I don't see Bennett leaving UVA. I don't see Beard leaving Texas now that he's there. I could maaaaaaaybe see Wright leaving Villanova for that blue blood prestige, but even that's a big stretch.

Scary for us blue blood fans hoping for outside hires, lol.
2734785, Respect to a legend. I still associate him with Kansas since I first

started watching college basketball in the very early 90s, but was surprised to see he actually won more games at UNC. His Kansas teams were pretty dominant but had quite a few disappointing tournament appearances. Was glad to see him shake that criticism at UNC and go on to win 3 championships.
2734934, yeah I was living in KC in the 90's and that was my first introduction to him...

i'm still team #fuckthencaa, but he seemed like one of the good guys, fwiw. genuinely seemed to care about his players as people. took responsibility for the teams' shortcomings. and spoke out on social issues.


peace & blessings,

2734939, Wes would be a dream by comparison
Posted by BrooklynWHAT, Mon Apr-05-21 03:42 PM
my dude aint never coached a fucking game. not one.

if you want a black coach, great! Go get Moton right down the road. He's basically family anyway. and he's actually qualified.

this shit is like riding passenger in a supercar when you've NEVER driven before, and the drive hands you the keys, and then they tell you he's actually the BEST person to drive the car. get the fuck outta here.

i know they cackling down at State
i know they cackling over at Duke

i am thoroughly pissed rn.


2734945, Dean Smith had never coached anywhere else, KU was Roy's 1st job

For anyone who knows- Has he said that he doesn't want to be head coach?
Just wondering because he's been there a long time.
Has he tried to go anywhere since he's been at Carolina?
2734944, he coached at FSU before Hamilton ~20 years ago

terrible record there

and while he was at UNC I've never even heard so much as a rumor that he might be looking or if anyone was looking at him
