Possible Wake Forest Coaching Candidates Analysis

[CharlotteDeac1]

Looking at this more...it's not even lateral. Marquette clearly the better job. He moved on because there were some anti-Buzz feelings there at the end of that last season he was with them.

Sounds like Shaka to Wake forest to me

 

[RJKarl]

Also may have had doubts about the new Big East's long-term viability -- it was only a year old at that point. It's proven itself in the subsequent years

Buzz hated the AD. The AD hated Buzz. That's what it was about.

UCLA should throw the book at Bennett. Dude is a top three coach in America.

UCLA fans got weary of Ben Howland's pace of play. Bennett might not be a good fit there.

Well if that's the case their fanbase is as dumb as they come.

Marquette with a deep successful NCAA history and in a P6 conference to VT with no history and in a P6 conference is not a step up. If anything it was a step back to get away from issues he may have had with the Admin at Marquette.

When VT hired Buzz, there were a number of articles written wondering why in the hell he’d make that move.

Lateral, at best.

And that’s with the benefit of hindsight.

 

[RJKarl]

Buzz called VT while he still had a job and when VT still had a coach.

Assume we need to cheer for Kansas tonight against Shaka? Texas winning a couple games in KC and making a NCAA run might hurt?

yep

 

[DeacsATS]

Yeah... Big embarrassing loss by Texas would be nice.

 

[FckVwls]

Texas is only +2.5 or +3 in this game with over 40% chance to win, btw. And WVU is up 13 over Texas Tech currently too. Texas would be big favorite over WVU to reach the finals.

Looks like Oats is off the table

Not really. Just set himself up for a higher base and Buffalo for a little more in the buyout. He still isn't over $1 million at Buffalo.

Currie has his marching orders:

Shaka
Matta
Oats

Get 'er done!

We're going to be good again.

Most likely it is that Oats got more expensive.

I'd still look at Matta first. He's the only one who has had success at a P6 school. Big question is whether he is ready to get back in the grind.

 

[Deac83]

Espn stat no 16 loss team has gotten an at large bid.

Agreed. I'd go in this order...

Matta
Oats
Shaka

Texas loses first game in Big 12...

 

[Stormfury]

Espn stat no 16 loss team has gotten an at large bid.

They gave them a 6% chance.
