I think if we're serious about taking things to another level, then we make Greg Marshall an offer he can't turn down. Its time to flex some of our muscle and not settle.

Tom Izzo. It's a done deal already

If we expect to land a top tier coach, we will likely need to commit to a major renovation of Coleman Coliseum.

Ben Howland
Larry Brown is at SMU right now, give him the number he wants and free reign of the bball program
Hasse at UAB just won the C-USA Tourney and got UAB in and only makes $475K/yr
That's where I'd start

Tom Izzo makes 1.735M a year at Michigan State. Maybe Coach Saban can provide him with some influence to make the move South.

Make someone the highest paid coach in basketball. We have the funds. Time to buck the trend and do it. Start with Phil Jackson, make him say no. Pat Reilly next. Go down the list until someone can't pass up the money. You start at the top though. Roll Tide yall

Sorry if it's been covered, and I'm being lazy, but what's the story with Howland? Why has he been out of coaching?

My top 4:
1. Howland or Miller; Howland is the veteran coach that could assemble a top staff and help our guys develop into better ball players. He is a defense-first coach (not sure if that's a + or -) and should have our guys playing a tougher brand of basketball. Miller could promote the program, develop our shooters and due to his age and enthusiasm should be an excellent recruiter.
3. Marshall; another slam dunk hire that I see as a mix of Howland and Miller, but perhaps less likely to come. He has a good thing going in Wichita and is probably a bit more rooted to that area for now.
4. Crean; I'm warming up to him. Never been a big fan of the way his teams play, but he does have an impressive resume and has had some success recruiting the south.
I'm not sure that any other hire would generate much excitement/optimism from me, unless Battle hires somebody that I thought was out of our reach. As mentioned above I am also concerned with the staff the new coach will bring in. Assistants aren't discussed as frequently in basketball, but they do a lot behind the scenes to develop the players. Would be nice to throw some money at TR to convince him to come back as an assistant.

Saw this gem on tRant
quote:
None of these names, Marshall included jack me up. I'd rather have am asst at a P5 school than another coach from a basketball only mid-major who's biggest game of the year is College of Charleston. Shaka Smart said the best thing about being at VCU is they don't have football.
I'd go to Duke, UK, Michigan State, Notre Lame or somewhere and get the top asst. Brey seems to be doing fine at ND as an example. I just think a P5 job has dynamics that you won't find at a Wichita State or Butler. We might get Marshall but I doubt he will be much more successful than Grant was.
