He proved to be very successful at UTA and was in line for some Power conference positions but ironically was fired despite his loyalty. Imagine what he could do with our resources in our conference. Are we in line to poach someone like Dan Hurley or Archie Miller? Scott Frost could be the equivalent to Sonny Dykes, another coach who was in my top 3 but not my favorite when we hired him. You simply like spending other people’s money.
mustangxc wrote:I am completely on board with that but I don’t think there are any established coaches that we can poach at this time. We’re not stealing a coach from Indiana, Michigan, Duke, etc. and others such as Mark Few have demonstrated extreme loyalty. Maybe I am not remembering someone viable. I think if OKC has a bad season we might be able to throw huge money at Billy Donovan, or as I said earlier maybe George Karl would be interested. I simply can’t think of a top college coach that makes sense other than coaches such as Tom Izzo who would never leave Michigan State for SMU.
I do think Avery Johnson would consider coming over from Alabama and that is why I mentioned him earlier.
