Lurker, who is your list?
This is my list (in order):
Tom Crean
Eric Musselman
Dan Hurley
Pat Kelsey
Earl Grant
Dane Fife
Nick McDevitt
Wes Miller
Nate Oats
Ryan Odom
Scott Nagy
Micah Shrewsberry
Levelle Motion
Mike Young
But if I wasn't confident that I could get one of the top 3 names then I wouldn't make the move (obviously Crean is already off the list - although if both jobs are open at the same time I bet he would have taken us over Georgia, provided we were offering reasonable money).
I don't see the sense of urgency around Miller or Odom in particular:
1) No high-major or top mid-major program is going to hire either one of them this off-season
2) Next season, at best, they will be candidates for programs similar to Wake (e.g. not a blueblood), and the whole premise is they would rather be at Wake
3) Manning is making the program better by increasing the talent level - it isn't like we will be a worse job next off season than we are this off season
Why not give them another year to prove themselves? Let's see if Miller can take his team to the next level and maybe get into that Gregg Marshall @ Winthrop zone. Let's see what Odom can do with a roster mostly made up of players he recruited. I could see Kelsey ending-up at Xavier, but he's ranked that highly because I think he has relatively little downside, not that he has a bunch of upside (he's done a good but not super-exciting job at Winthrop).
I don't expect us to hire a Gregg Marshall @ Wichita State in 2014 type candidate (Musselman might be out of our reach if he keeps advancing - although he's old enough that he may not want to wait around for a better job). But, yeah, I think a Gregg Marshall @ Wichita State in 2010 type candidate is feasible.
