@kiwiball 100 percent agree. I just want a good in game coach . That’s my ultimate goal. That will determine if Siu ends up being successful
nothing is going to tell us that from an interview of an asst. coach. all we can assume is hopefully he will be. but until he gets here and coaches an few games we will not know. watch some of these HC in professional football. some i think have brain farts in certain situations. i emphasize again. its a crap shoot. maybe we get lucky and maybe we fall flat agin. only time will tell.
It's gonna be Josh Pastner who wants another shot at being the head guy. The hold up was his media deals.
Like I indicated on page 87 of this thread, Krabbenhoft is going to be the guy. He has already established himself as a top recruiter and all indications point to him having very good relationships with his players. Let's hope he will also be a good in game coach. It will be interesting to see what kind of staff he puts together. Bryan Mullins eventual downfall was at least partially related to his refusal to add an experienced ex coach to his staff.
With Krabbenhoft's recruiting chops and connections he may be about the best candidate to put together a squad from the portal that can at least compete. I am on board with the hire, but time will tell if it ends up being a good one.
Jesus Christ can you all start a separate thread to argue? This is annoying to read and clogging a valuable feed that many of us keep checking for updates and it's just you b*tching at each other
I’m thinking they’re gonna interview more candidates than just Krabbenhoft. There are a lot of good assistants that have teams still alive in the Tournament so you have to kind of weigh next year and falling behind in the portal vs getting the right long-term coach.
Some assistant coach candidates I’ve come up with (no sources on these just my suggestion):
-JR Blount, Iowa State. Worked with Nico Medved at Drake and Colorado State. Went to Loyola Chicago, has Midwest ties. Recruited a 4 and 5 star to Iowa State.
—Ryan Miller, Creighton. Has worked under John Calipari, Steve Alford, and now Greg McDermott. The McDermott tree has been money so far. Got a 5 star to UNLV and 2 4 stars to Creighton.
-Chester Frazier, Illinois. Former Illini player. Just 37 years old but has worked under Bruce Weber and Mike Young and now Brad Underwood.
-Tim Anderson, Illinois. Has been a key recruiter at Illinois and has Chicago high school ties.
-Brandon Brantley, Purdue. Just won Big Ten assistant of the year. Instrumental in working with Purdue’s big men.
-Terry Johnson, Purdue. Has worked at Butler, Ohio State, and now Purdue
For what it’s worth, I don’t believe this at all (the last part), but I’m gonna post it to scare you all:

All good potential hires if we go the assistant route. Which ones are in our price range?
That guy needs better sources regarding CLO....For what it’s worth, I don’t believe this at all (the last part), but I’m gonna post it to scare you all:
