SEC Basketball coaching changes

[Jbossgator8]

Bryce Drew at Vandy won't return and Avery Johnson is being bought out by Bama. Will Wade will probably be out at LSU after his scandal too.

Drew, 0-18 in SEC this season, ousted by Vandy

I guess Bama was better off keeping Anthony Grant. Seems like Avery Johnson didn't fare any better while at Bama.

They were definitely a better team with Johnson, but Bama is never a school that's going to have any kind of real basketball success. They should know that and accept it.

A&M is just waiting for Va Tech to get eliminated from the tournament so they can announce Buzz Williams. Good hire for them. After that contract they gave Jimbo, I'm curious how much they're going to throw at Williams. He'll probably be the #2 highest paid coach in the conference.

Iowa State coach Steve Prohm is a U A L alum and reportedly a top candidate for that job.

According to Wikipedia:

He [Prohm] started college at Oglethorpe University in Atlanta where he played NCAA Division III basketball. Prohm only made it] halfway through his first season as a player when he left the team to follow his passion for coaching. He transferred to the University of Alabama where he worked as a student assistant coach and student manager for the Crimson Tide men's basketball team for five years. He graduated from Alabama in 1997 with a degree in education.

According to Wikipedia:

Is that UALT?

Iowa st is a better job.

 

[InstiGATOR1]

Iowa st is a better job.

I sort of agree, but the U A L guys seem to think very highly of their job.

 

[MidwestChomp]

Iowa st is a better job.

Agreed. But Bama may pay up for him. Never been to Tuscaloosa, but Ames is a decent place if you don't mind living in the Midwest.

However will Bama Applebee's name a burger for him?

 

[Jbossgator8]

I wonder if Wade will return to LSU or not. Also how many of their players leave and go pro if there is a coaching change and if any sanctions are levied against LSU so that LSU slips back into obscurity like Vandy.

It’s official.

Official: Alabama, Avery Johnson 'mutually part ways'

Rick Pitino to Bama?

There are logical coaching choices for Alabama and then there’s Rick Pitino

Rick Pitino to Alabama? Paul Finebaum offers up his thoughts on the speculation

Saw a local DC story saying John Thompson III (former Georgetown & Princeton head coach) is in the running for Vandy. Unimpressive....he got canned quickly at G-town.

 

[KronoGator]

Vandy should just shut the program down.

 

[FireFoley]

Lots of good jobs open in SEC from the standpoint of willingness to pay good money. If Bama hires the guy from ISU, that would be a good hire. If A&M can land the Buzzer, that would be an excellent hire. I don;t like to use the words 'home run", but the Buzzer has won consistently at Marquette and at Va. Tech. He is a very legitimate coach.

Vandy should just shut the program down.

The Big East once tossed Temple out for failing to compete.

The SEC needs to consider giving Vandy the talk soon. Invest in your programs or head back to the Southern Conference.

UF should get the talk next.

Frank Martin's name is being tossed around w/ the UNLV opening. Is that a job worth leaving SC for? Would it pay as well? Although Martin is denying the rumors....
