Pitino will never coach at Arkansas.

1. Knocked up his equipment managers wife, paid for her abortion
2. Program hired hookers for recruits
3. Program used shoe money to pay for big recruits.
4. He was fired for cause, and will likely get a show cause.
5. He self admitted that the event with woman in #1 only lasted 15 seconds. He just doesn't have the stamina anymore.


His career is likely over.

I'm not a big fan of Mike White, but Florida did well in tournament play bc his teams play a tough half court defense. And they pick you up in transition. When he gets some good offensive players he's going to kick some major arse in the SEC. Thats why I like Beard. His teams are tough. The same can be said for Sampson. If you had any talent at all and you put Mikes team in a half court dog fight it was game over for the Hogs. If we can't get Beard or Sampson thats what we need to look for in a coach. The SEC is a grind. Enough of this soft pick up style. I don't think Beard is a risk. And I think going to Texas would be a mistake. Look how they did Barnes.

Marhsall has fit that mold often as well, he has had top 25 teams in defensive efficiency multiple times.

Marshall might be a good pick. I'll be honest, I haven't seen Witchita State play much. Thats where he is right ? I'd be curious if he has to recruit with the same academic standards there, that an SEC school has to deal with. Thats one of the biggest reasons that mid major coaches are concerning to me.

Yes, they had a down year this is in what was supposed to be a rebuild but they are doing well in the NIT. They just beat Indiana at Indiana. Before this year, he has made the tournament every year since 2012 in a one bid league, which is impressive. His tournament record isn't amazing but I think he has done very well for the talent he has to work with and made the Final four in 2013.

Might be a concern but he has done a great job developing talent as well so that doesn't concern me as much.

One of the biggest reason coaches fail here IMO. Mike was an average recruiter and probably below average in terms of player development.

Heath recruited quite well from what I remember, but I also remember guys not getting any better or even regressing from 1 year to the next.

As much as it pains me to admit, HDN probably got more out of his players than I gave him credit for. His scheme and ego were probably his downfall.

He might be an upgrade over Mike, but he's not the coach that has us competing for NCs IMO.

I don't put much stock into "rankings" back then. The services were so low budget etc.

HDN deserves credit, dude could recruit and get a lot out of players whether they were his or Ford's.

We had some damn MEN during his tenure, that's for sure.

Why do you have Buzz so low? Just curious.


As soon as expectations started to be placed on him while he was as Marquette, he starts trying to get in the running for every power 5 job available in Texas and Arkansas last time.

He bolts to VaTech which has very low expectations, talks with parties on aggy behalf mid-season this year which is a place not only in Texas but also has rather low expectations for basketball.

Basically, I don't feel like he understands the Arkansas job. Just getting to the tournament isn't enough. The job carries an escalating level of expectations, so instead of hiring him only to replace him 5 years from now, hire a better coach than him.

Someone just pointed it out to me that Houston has only lost 3 games this season.

I think we should hire that guy.

Marshall should be at the absolute top of our list if he’s even a little interested.

All makes sense.

His move to Va Tech was bizarre.

Don't want.

Disagree.

Not saying he isn't a great coach because he obviously is, but he shouldn't be considered our top candidate because nobody knows if he can recruit successfully at this level.

Where he's at he gets to feast on recruits that didn't make the grades to get into a major college.

It may change the game for him entirely if he has to start competing with other high level programs for players.

Sampson should be #1 on the list IYAM. He has built a hell of a team down there in Houston.

say what you want about Buzz but he would be a big step up from what we have had.

Watch his video on why you stand for the flag and you'll have all the info you need as for what kind of dude he is.

I'm not impressed with Buzz. Not sure why his position on standing for the flag matters here. Beard, Sampson or bust not Buzz.

Yep, I don't care what his views are on anything. We just got rid of a great man. I'd like to replace him with a great coach this time.
