If you want to win you get Chris Beard. Trev let Schloss walk with zero resistance so we know that isn't happening.

---

I'm no fan of Trev but why do y'all keep repeating this lie. He had zero shot to keep Schloss. Schloss was gone the moment CDC got hired at tu. Pretending anything else was an option is fantasyland.

Stating something you don't know as fact is fantasyland. That's what you're doing.

I know it for a fact. You don't. I also knew the moment he got hired at A&M why he actually had to leave TCU.

Care to elaborate?

Todd Golden was winning at SF. I'd love to find a young coach like Golden.

Then look at UC San Diego

---

This is who I want. Built the program in D2. Built it up again in D1. Would love to see his offensive system implemented here.

Finalist for the New Mexico job right now, which we are easily a better job than/could outbid.

Failing that, id rather swing for the fences with Murray than go for a lot of the other names here. Bryce Drew that went 0-18 in conference his last year at vandy? Cross looked great at Troy this year, but spending 10 years not doing much of note at UTA doesn't exactly give him the most exciting resume.

Unfortunately a lot of the other names mentioned that would be fine hires are just not coming here. Either too expensive or already in better situations.

There's nothing too much to elaborate on that hasn't already been said on the baseball board.

I know people through the TX baseball ranks that were particularly close to tcu who told me exactly why the Ags would get Schloss before he officially came here and the moment CDC took the sip job those same people said unless something crazy happened at A&M wrt paying Schloss insane money or Pierce being so good that tu couldn't fire him that they'd pair back up.

I even fooled myself into not wanting to believe the latter during the Omaha run last year until Zane asked the question in the presser.

Trev will take care of it.

I've always had a sweet spot for Chris Holtmann. Dude can freaking coach.

Olen to New Mexico so that is one on your list that is done. Buzz needs to go now so we can get as many options as possible.

We don't need big name, we need the best coach

Obviously the answer is we should just call Maryland and ask who they would like to hire after they eventually fire Buzz. It'll be more efficient for everyone that way.

Damnit, was hoping he'd still be on the table

I was intrigued by him. San Francisco coach is interesting also. He has better winning percentage than Golden did

Skinn at George Mason might be worth a look.

Skinn to Win!

If we're down to mid major coaches that have never even made the tournament then there's like 50 names that are intriguing. Kim English is a guy I really like. Providence isn't a mid major but not sure they have the juice that some of the high level Big East programs have.

I'd be fine with English getting a look too. Todd Golden had only made the dance once, so I'm not hyper-worried about that (if we are looking at that level of coach).

Not saying I'd stump for either of those guys, but let's at least attempt to do something different - at a turning point in college sports where the old guard is finding it harder and harder to tolerate the landscape, why not take a "flier" on a young guy, even if he's relatively inexperienced?

I'll make some calls

Those who follow CBB nationally know this is a sport where you don't need to make a splash hire. Lots of P5 programs are hesitant to hire guys from small schools due to perception but there are TONS of extremely talented coaches who would love the A&M job and I think could be successful.

I don't care if that coach is correctly an assistant at a big school or the HC of some division 2. ID someone who can flat out coach BOTH ends of the court and can maximize talent.

Anyone mention Bryce Drew? Has had success at GCU and is a bit of a retread so would want the job.

If we get to Bryce Drew we should consider folding the program.

Ha. Just tossing out viable candidates that would want to be here.

Yeah I'm mostly just kidding, it's not a bad thought, on the coaching search thread I talked about it like a month ago.

I had actually asked Google Gemini's "deep research" AI model who would be a good candidate for a high major job based on their recent results at a mid major and it spit out Drew.

"Pride of Normangee Texas " Joe Jones

Grok recommends Lutz

2 years at Vandy pretty much overshadow every other good season Drew has coached. Even his first year at Vandy was decent.

Beard is not coming here and his name should be removed from the list. He would have to pay 4.5 mil to leave his current contract, which is not going to happen (3.5mil next yr). He is in yr 1 of his 6 yr extension. He also makes over 5 mil a yr.

I want Bill Murray's kid because the thought of Bill Murray in Aggie gear doing something whacky makes me laugh. He'd be a great yell leader

If it's any of those dudes, it would be a major downgrade. Put them on a one-year contract and see if you get lightning in a bottle. If not, cut bait.

Randy Bennett Saint Mary's

Entering his 24th season as the head coach at Saint Mary's, 6-time West Coast Conference Coach of the Year Randy Bennett has developed a program that has brought a level of excitement, expectation and competitiveness never before seen on the picturesque Moraga, Calif. campus.

During his tenure, Bennett has become the school's men's basketball all-time wins leader (533 victories, going into 2023-4), guided SMC to 18 postseason appearances (11 NCAA and 7 NIT), currently 17 straight postseason appearances (Only Gonzaga, Michigan State, and Kansas have longer streaks), led the Gaels to their first post-season victories and had a player drafted (Patrick Mills, 2009) into the NBA for the first time since 1984. He has earned six WCC Coach of the Year honors, including three in each of the last three seasons, and was named a USA Basketball assistant coach for the team that represented the USA at the 2011 FIBA U19 World Championships in Latvia.

Feels like if Bennett had aspirations of leaving St Mary's he'd have done it already. I'm sure he's had plenty of chances.

Always wondered why he's stayed there. He seems to always be on some short list for bigger jobs.

It looks like a gorgeous place.

Some other names sourced from AI:

Matt Langel
Amir Abdur Raheem (former A&M asst)
Takayo Siddle

Ai apparently doesn't know Amir passed away last year.

He'd probably have been pretty high on the list.
