All Things 2025-26 College Basketball Coaches Fired/Hired/Retired Thread

[Spottedmuskie]

Yikes, Otz has been very good at ISU. Wonder why he was "meh" at South Dakota State

 

[howeda7]

Rumors of contact between Otz's representation and UNC. Mutual interest. Could move quickly once ISU's season ends.

Fred Hoiberg back to ISU....

 

[LongLiveMilesTarver]

Fred Hoiberg back to ISU....

Tim Miles back to Nebraska.

I wouldn't say he was "meh" at SDSU at all. Two conference titles and two NCAAT appearances in 3 seasons. Managed to keep Mike Daum there for 3 seasons.

In this current era Mike Daum is not sticking around sdsu

Of course not. But he still would've had his fair choice of options to move up from the Summit League in that era.

 

[Beerculees]

Fred Hoiberg back to ISU....

Hoiberg to Kansas seems like a natural fit

Dusty May and Ben McCollum popping up as candidates in Chapel Hill

Man, I can't even imagine what it would be like for Will Wade to be coaching at LSU!

He and Kiffin

The Fulmer Cup will be permanently relocated to Baton Rouge

Get Ben McCollum to UNC!

Mind you, this is just a rumor. Anyone can start a rumor.

Otz going anywhere would surprise me. He likes it there and has a low pressure setup. I guess if he didn't think he could get to Final Fours and have a chance at a national championship. But he's done very well from the beginning.

He's saying what has to be said, whether that's how it plays out...

He might very well like it in Ame$, but Chapel Hill offer$ a lot of thing$ that Ame$ can't match

He's making $4mil already. Certainly he'd make a lot more -- for what? To put up with insane, unrealistic expectations.

His NIL budget would be much higher, but blue bloods might not have the edge they once did.

Much weaker conference in ACC. Easier to win. What does that mean to him?

[Bad Gopher]

Holy fuck!

 

[howeda7]

What a disaster hiring that creep would have been for the Gophers.

 

[MaxyJR1]

Would have been gone in a year anyway. He's tied to an administration from McNeese and they are all at LSU now.

As someone who originally had interest in Will Wade, I am glad we did not go that direction.

Exactly.

 

[Zeppelin Gopher]

McCollum is a winner and an excellent coach, but he seems like a weird candidate at UNC.

Plays a boring slow style of ball and has zero history coaching or recruiting at such a high level

 

[Spottedmuskie]

Okay so can Huebert Davis start the revenge tour at NC State now?

 

[mplarson7]

This is the scummiest move in college athletics that I can recall.

 

[Border Gopher]

Just win baby. At any cost.

 

[Holy Man]

This is the scummiest move in college athletics that I can recall.

Are there any scummy moves in college athletics with no enforceable rules?

 

[bmb5270]

Sounds like they wanted to bring back Cowboy Will Wade last year but apparently the buyout for McMahon was significantly higher. Also some boosters held back NIL hoping that McMahon would fail because they wanted Will back. Definitely a scummy move.
