    2018 Coaching Carousel

    I guess we can start a thread putting in the new coaching hires and fires in a common thread.

    On twitter its being reported that Ole Miss has Kermit Davis as coach at Ole Miss. Davis is the Middle Tennessee coach and will coach there until their season is completed in the NIT. Davis father was coach at Miss State many years ago in the 70's for a short time,IIRC.

      Not yet - I believe the meeting is supposed to take place, but it seems pretty likely that Tubby will be gone by the end of the day.

          I've been hearing around Louisville and from friends that Chris Mack is pretty much a done deal to coach Louisville next. Anybody else hearing anything like that? They also say his wife and family is from Louisville also, making it more likely. It would be a huge get for them if he comes

            Mack would have to be an idiot to take that job. It’ll be years before they resume any semblance of competitiveness or relevancy.

              I actually wouldn't be surprised if Mick Cronin got a look. His teams are usually pretty solid - they're not fun to watch but they're competitive. UC is probably at a pretty low ceiling in the AAC, and Louisville could be a good long-term job.

                  I agree.....do they even have any recruits coming for next year....they could lose a lot from this team

                    Why any coach who is already at a decent school would even consider UL amazes me. Other than it shows they are only about the money.

                    Mack, Cronin, etc...would be fools to go to UL. They are going to be a train wreck for at least 2-3 years. Why would someone want to deal with that?

                    Mack already makes $2 million per year and I am sure after this season Xavier will give him a bump to $2.5-3.....how much do you need?

                            And now supposedly Penny and Memphis are working on a deal. This could mean no Wiseman.

                              I think Scotty Davenport would be a good hire for Louisville. He's a Louisville guy and is a really good coach.
