Beilein would bring the same strengths and flaws Herb brought to the program. Not a good move IMO.

personally i want jay wright, but i don't see that happening

I thought his signing the contract extension would take him out of the running, but Bill Self had recently signed on for another 5 years at Illinois prior to taking the Kansas job. (info from this article)
http://espn.go.com/ncb/news/2003/0420/1541578.html

If somehow we did get Jay Wright, we should be able to get Chris Wright to recommit which would also be a plus.

4/2/2006 11:14:07 PM

Why the FUUUUUUUUUCK would we be able to get him from Nova????????????????????????


I'm sure this has been discussed before, but its just not realistic.

4/2/2006 11:17:08 PM

hence the i don't see this happening, which in hind sight, makes no sense b/c this thread is "realistic replacements"

4/2/2006 11:24:09 PM

somebody with insider post the article from ESPN

4/3/2006 12:04:00 AM

how about this, UNREALISTIC REPLACEMENTS PEOPLE HAVE MENTIONED:

-Jay Wright
-Bill Self
-Lorenzo Romar
-Tubby Smith
-Bruce Pearl
-Billy Donovan
-Thad Matta
-Rick Pitino

4/3/2006 12:08:08 AM

For me, those are some huge names to toss out there and the chances are so slim.

Barnes should be the #1 guy, its a long shot but still.

#2, imo, should be Billy Gillespe at Texas A&M, he has been mentioned but I think he is underrated and deserves some more attention. Problem: he is a texas boy, and while he isnt an alumnus of A&M he was born, raised, and attended college in Texas.

4/3/2006 12:13:21 AM

have you guys checked out the thread that leads to the texas message board? they have some real doushe bags out there. I hope we get Barns just so texas shuts the fuck up.

4/3/2006 12:29:53 AM

If you do not like the herb sendek offense you will not like the pitino offense.

texas fan charlie?

4/3/2006 12:35:35 AM

no

it's just an ironic statement to make

4/3/2006 12:36:23 AM

Funny thing is now the "FIRE HERB" statement loses it's fizzle because we didn't really fire him

4/3/2006 12:37:54 AM

hey, not sure if this has come up yet since i did not read the whole post. but what about rick majerus (spelling). what is he up to? he has had a full year to "get his health back"

4/3/2006 12:40:48 AM

^ remember the whole deal with USC last year?

people id interview:

-john beilein
-nolan richardson (but you racist fucktards would run him off)
-mark few

ah hell, i cant think of anyone else realistic that has major conference experience or consistent tourney success that we might be able to get...unless mike montgomery gets fired at Golden State, things dont look good.

I'm hearing Mike Montgomery's name thrown around a lot lately

[Edited on April 3, 2006 at 12:42 AM. Reason : not by the fans, but guys who we're talking to and are reciprocating interest]

4/3/2006 12:41:47 AM

ASU didnt want him

4/3/2006 12:42:32 AM

Who Montgomery?

4/3/2006 12:43:31 AM

majerus

4/3/2006 12:44:19 AM

Supposedly he didn't pass the physical (Or so it has been rumored)




I was about to say.... they didn't want Montgomery. Ahaha... brilliant move

4/3/2006 12:45:10 AM

look at the ranked teams beilien has beaten while at WVU of all places...if we cant get Montgomery, hes my #1 pick

4/3/2006 12:48:25 AM

No more princeton offense. No to beilein

4/3/2006 12:49:39 AM

yeah, its not like hes beaten any quality opponents with it. all teams that run that offense suck

you people think we're going to get rick barnes and beat duke and unc and not be #3 in NC. we'll always be #3 in NC, but maybe, just maybe, we can snag a guy that will win us the occasional ACC title and get us to the sweet 16 regularly.

I'm being realistic.

[Edited on April 3, 2006 at 12:53 AM. Reason : .]

is bobby lutz one of those oh my god choices state might go with?

4/3/2006 12:52:20 AM

no team that has run that offense has won a national title. It is an offense you run when you do not have athletic players. We have athletes. It's time to get away from it.

^no to that too.

FUCK NO. That nigger would run himself off without any help from us.

However, I do think we should try to get a black coach. It might give us a recruiting edge vs Duke and UNC.

[Edited on April 3, 2006 at 12:55 AM. Reason : mike?]

4/3/2006 12:54:53 AM

^im sure a black coach would love to have fans like you who will call him nigger every time he loses.

4/3/2006 12:56:02 AM

mike davis?? i think thats his name...the guy who quit indiana

4/3/2006 12:56:24 AM

No to Mike Davis. He is a walking talking coaching quagmire.

Also, If Nolan is such a good coach, why has he been unemployeed for so many years now?

4/3/2006 12:56:38 AM

From what I'm hearing.... and take this with a grain of salt.....but rumors from people I know that do get 12th hand info from those close to the program sometimes (Ha, in other words take it to the bank! )


1) Barnes is willing to talk, but only if we're willing to talk with at least $1.5 mil in our pockets to start with. Supposedly, we're not willing to cough that up.


2) Guys who are going, pondering, or already have applied for the position (They gave a list of about 35... but here are some we know of and sounded like our man would be in this list.) Maybe I forgot some... feel free to ask if I've missed anyone, maybe I'll remember the name then

- Mike Montgomery
- Billy Gillespie
- Gregg Marshall
- Guy from Dayton (Izzo disciple I think, can't think of a name?)
- UConn assistant everyone has been talking about... name?
- (Larry?) Shyatt... ahahaha... I couldn't get over that one
- Dave Odom .... ahaha again
- Bill Self (Believe it or not, which I didn't, the name was mentioned due to pressure at KU)
- Dana Altman
- A few unnamed pro assistants, formerly in the college ranks (Couldn't figure out who the guy was talking about on this one?)
- Larry Hunter
- Mike Davis


That's all I can recall. It seems like I'm missing a few big names, but for right now, that's all I can remember. From what I understand, we have contacted Montgomery and he is reciprocating interest. From that list, he's my #1


[Edited on April 3, 2006 at 12:59 AM. Reason : ]

4/3/2006 12:56:38 AM

I TOLD YOU! WE'RE GETTING LARRY SHYATT!

there is one pro assistant i would kill for:


maybe we should give amato a paycut so we can get someone really good...

[Edited on April 3, 2006 at 1:00 AM. Reason : .]

4/3/2006 12:58:15 AM

Larry Hunter?

I think I would kill myself

and Lee Fowler needs to pony up some cash.

4/3/2006 12:58:16 AM

Nolan Richardson's niggitude has nothing to do with his coaching and everything to do with the stupid comments he made leading up to his dismissal.

Fuck that guy.

4/3/2006 12:58:58 AM

i dont want a clemson guy....cant beat carolina

4/3/2006 1:00:49 AM

Shyatt couldn't beat anybody

4/3/2006 1:01:30 AM

BARNESSSSSS

4/3/2006 1:02:21 AM

why in the blue hell are we even considering larry shyatt?

might as well get fuckin' pete gillen.

4/3/2006 1:02:59 AM

Also, as if it goes without saying.... I'm sure we're contacting Calipari, and maybe even Wright.


I wouldn't expect any of those were too realistic... especially not Wright. Calipari, maybe.... but probably not likely we will get into a possible bidding war with OU

4/3/2006 1:03:57 AM

Quote :

"why in the blue hell are we even considering larry shyatt? might as well get fuckin' pete gillen."

Again, that's coaches who have willingly applied and asked for the position (Or at least have openly talked to us about it). I'm not sure if our #1-5 guys are up there.... these are just the ones who are interested.


Trust me, Shyatt won't get called back

[Edited on April 3, 2006 at 1:05 AM. Reason : ]

4/3/2006 1:04:53 AM

What a fucking coup that would be if we got a guy like Calipari or Bill Self.

Herbophiles would shut up pretty quickly.

4/3/2006 1:05:46 AM

I still have to think that mention of Self was a one in a million, to tell you the truth. Makes no sense

4/3/2006 1:06:36 AM

I wouldn't mind seeing Mike Montgomery

4/3/2006 1:06:41 AM

My eyes lit up with Montgomery as well.


If you can win at Stanford, you can win anywhere. Stanford athletes have to get accepted to Stanford.

4/3/2006 1:07:36 AM

4/3/2006 1:08:17 AM

ahahaha...lee fowler comes in today and gets this message:

"hey, its me, larry! larry shyatt! remember me? i coached at clemson! i beat duke once...i think! so, uh, i hear you need a coach and, well, uh, im free whenever if you need me. just, gimmie a call, ill be right here, by the phone. dont really have much else to do...well except take phone calls from guys like you! did you know deleware called me last week about a position!?!?! *click*"

[Edited on April 3, 2006 at 1:08 AM. Reason : .]

4/3/2006 1:08:21 AM

He just inked at K State

and if you think the uprising about Herb was bad, if Huggins was here, he'd be fired in his first week.

4/3/2006 1:08:40 AM

Montgomery would be one hell of a hire, now that I remember who he is.

But he has lived in CA all his life. Would he want to come to NC?
