Since it is obvious we will be looking for a new coach, who is it going to be? The fact is a lot of the names thrown around 3 and 4 years ago have not done so well other than Stevens and Smart, and we never had a chance with those guys, and I am certain Wellman inquired of them. Face it, Turgeon, Brownell, Gottfried, Mooney and some of the others thrown around have not done much either. Tony Bennett was almost run out of Charlottesville not too long ago, and now look at him.
Honestly, other than Shaka (who is NOT coming), I don't see anyone else I am all the thrilled about. I shook my head when I saw the thread about Wojo, but frankly, he looks better to me than most now. God forbid if he turned it down, because I am not sure K is going to coach much longer, and if he is K's chosen successor, K and Duke will make it worth his while to stay.
I just can't get excited about anyone out there who is remotely available. Although most everyone would be an upgrade. I'm fine with Childress at this stage given this crop. He could at least recruit, and is a leader and a total badass who knows the game. I'd be happy with his ability to lead guys into the ACC wars.
Someone please tell me I am wrong and make the case for some of the supposed rising stars. I am not hopeful at all at this point.
