For Geoff ... NIU or EIU ...
For Chester ... East coast schools ...
I know there are only so many jobs, but the NIU job might be the worst in the country

Now THAT would be ELITE.Orlando, Boynton and TA walk into a bar….i mean high school gym.
How likely do you think this can happen? Percentage-wise. Por favor.Orlando, Boynton and TA walk into a bar….i mean high school gym.
With a contract buyout of $2/3M, I've got a beach house, complete with bailing bucket and water wings, that says he is gone. I also expect MI will pay the extra 1M to start the search earlier.Normally, I would agree but I wonder if UM will give Howard one more year based on a few factors. His health issues this season forced him to miss a chunk of the season (and firing him might also be a bad look). Losing Hunter. I know one could argue that that is on him but nowadays with all the transferring, I am not so sure this wasn't beyond his control (seems to be beyond anyone's control). And third, McDaniel's academic woes resulting in the weird away game suspension. Something, I assume, that was also beyond his control. But what do I know?
Wow, talk about a Francon eruption.....Damn... I am so not looking forward to Bohannon Clark McCaffery. Fran's probably getting his son to poke holes in his condoms as we speak while screaming at him that protection defense is overrated and to focus on good motion, scoring at will, and finishing hard inside.
John Groce is available too ~ just down the road
apparently there's rumors that McDermott has issues with the AD at Creighton so take this as you will
AJ B come on down!Orlando, Boynton and TA walk into a bar….i mean high school gym.
AD Gene Smith is retiring in June after 19 years at the helm. Delicate transition to new AD after two decades and I'm sure they want ample runway for this coaching hire.I might have been reading too much into it at the time, but I seem to remember press conferences where one writer kept asking Underwood and Holtmann about the other and Holtmann acted like it was ridiculous to consider Underwood in his league (again my feeling) and Underwood said something to the effect of “you’ve gotta remember Chris inherited a much better situation”.
1) does anybody else share my vague recollection?
2) Holtmann was generally negative about Illinois after Groce firing, but was there animosity between Holtmann and Underwood? Brad seems pretty popular in coaching circles?
3) most relevant, who did Holtmann piss off to get fired in the middle of February. It’s not like the typical timeline for getting the first spot in the carousel is gonna get them a better coach. Feels like camping out three weeks before the iPhone 16 that you can just have one delivered to your house on launch day.
For his sake, I hope not.Would Chester be interested in UIC?
Sounds like he is ready to make the jump back to B10...scUM, perhaps, lolChins a lot dumber than he thinks he is….scary combo lol
I find the demise of Ohio State almost as tasty as the demise of Michigan. I really do. The way they did Thad was pretty sh*tty. I like Thad. Damn good coach. He didn’t deserve that. This feels like karma to me.AD Gene Smith is retiring in June after 19 years at the helm. Delicate transition to new AD after two decades and I'm sure they want ample runway for this coaching hire.
Dude is only the 8th AD in OSU history.
50/50...always, lolHow likely do you think this can happen? Percentage-wise. Por favor.
That would require Zaga to open, which regardless of the noise, I don't see it.Get Gentry to come back
It is when you have an appealing job.Firing a coach mid-season for poor performance reasons is a sure fire way to attract better candidates.
Ohio State won't find a better coach than Chris Holtzman. They have the players that are just not playing together.. Hope they get someone who leads like Michigan's coach. A big loser!
They did Holtmann dirty by firing him mid-season.I find the demise of Ohio State almost as tasty as the demise of Michigan. I really do. The way they did Thad was pretty sh*tty. I like Thad. Damn good coach. He didn’t deserve that. This feels like karma to me.
I know it is a subjective deal. But it kinda seems like Ohio State has a track record of doing people dirty more than most D-1 Schools…
Even going way back….Bob Knight(take it with a grain of salt) b*tched for years about the way they did Fred Taylor wrong.
A lot of dominos would have to fall in the right places with Chester and Geoff.How likely do you think this can happen? Percentage-wise. Por favor.

Oh right, good call. I totally forgot about O’Brien. Yeah that’s a classic example.They did Holtmann dirty by firing him mid-season.
They did Thad dirty
Ohio State just showed how not to handle a coaching change
Ohio State could have parted ways with coach Thad Matta two months ago. Instead, AD Gene Smith delivered a hard-to-figure June 5 stunner. Now, potential replacements are locked in on other jobs and big-name recruits are already headed to other campuses.www.espn.com
They did Jim O'Brien so dirty that he won millions of dollars in a wrongful termination lawsuit
OSU must pay O'Brien nearly $2.5 million, court rules
An appeals court has affirmed a lower court ruling that Ohio State University owes nearly $2.5 million to former men's head basketball coach Jim O'Brien. Last year a judge ruled that O'Brien's $6,000…www.dispatch.com
They did Randy Ayers dirty by firing him and then trying to short him on his buyout (he wound up settling for half)
Still hurting, Ayers accepts settlement

Is there a trend here?
Ohio State won't find a better coach than Chris
Kick rocks? As in someone on our staff? I would certainly hope that would NOT be Chester and I of course give Brad the benefit of the doubt that he is smarter than that.Totally depends on whether Geoff and/or Chester get jobs ...
Let's say they both do ... I'd say getting one of Mike or Antigua is right at 75% ...
I also would not put it above Brad to tell someone to kick rocks if it means he can get Antigua or Mike on staff ...
Do you think Thad would go back there??Yes ... They will ...
Thad Matta, Sean Miller, Chris Mack, Lamont Paris, Mick Cronin, Porter Moser ...
