🏀 The coaching carousel begins. Ole Miss hires Kermit Davis, UGA Tom Crean

It's been reported that UCONN has fired Kevin Ollie for cause. He's just four years removed from a national title but has put back to back losing records in the books these last two years.

Word has it Mark Fox is expected to be out at UGA.

Word is that the NCAA and criminal investigation are a big part of why.

It's makes a good case for cause.

ESPN analyst Jay Williams is saying he's heard Pitino's name linked to UGA from several sources.

I'd be shocked if Pitino ever coaches again in the NCAA.

Dawgnation writer Seth Emerson:



Dawgnation writer Brian Stultz:



I'm guessing Emerson is saying it won't happen versus Stultz just reporting the story is being reported? I've also seen it suggested that Sankey won't let it happen. Sankey, even in his commissioner role, doesn't carry that kind of respect/weight.

SMH at this one...

 

[OldPlayer]

Too many reasons to list why it won't happen. Only reason to list why it will happen is because Georgia needs a coach and Petino needs a job.

JMO but Rick will have to go to the TV booth for at last a year before anybody will hire him. He had baggage before the pay for play deal.

TenBears tells me Bruce Pearl has his ear to the wall listening to possible jobs other than the cow college. We'll see.

Just think Pearl is going to have to swim out of this FBI murk before anyone touches him. Many are still predicting that the perfect storm is brewing.

I saw a meme on Twitter a day ago, maybe a tad longer, that had Crean smirking (sort of like the Saban meme) with the caption "this man is looking for a job." I noticed the likes and retweets on a joke immediately. He's linked to UCONN as well.

How many jobs are open right now...Ole Miss, UGA, UCONN...

Is the Pitt job not open?

Pitino won’t be hired anywhere that’s almost a guarantee.

Matta to UGA would be a good hire for them. I’m not sure he’s interested, but if UGA can hire him it’ll be a great hire

 

[bama alum]

Matta was also mentioned for the Ole $i$$ job last week.

He might get another look in the NBA...Maybe.

I agree with this. I don't think he'll get a media job either. He has too much baggage between the current scandal and the affair to make him credible.

So your story is you need to be credible to be in the media?

Coach Bryant......."Here's a twenty, bury two." -- After being asked to chip in ten dollars to help cover the cost of a sportswriter's funeral.

Petino has slime written all over him. The affair, the use of prostitutes/strippers to entice players, paying players. That's a lot to overcome.
