Since the Mack era is all but over here in Louisville, Ty and I compiled lists of potential coaching candidates to replace him next season.
They fall into the categories of:
- Wishful thinking
- Realistic
- Outside the box
We’d love to hear what lists you guys have.
Ty Spalding:
Wishful Thinking:
Billy Donovan
Jay Wright
Brad Stevens
Nate Oats
Chris Beard
Most Realistic:
Bruce Pearl
Kenny Payne
Eric Musselman
Outside The Box:
Mike Boynton
Wes Miller
Travis Graf:
Wishful Thinking:
Jay Wright
Billy Donovan
Brad Stevens
(Make all of these guys tell you no)
Most Realistic:
Kenny Payne (Would recruit at a very high level)
Bruce Pearl (Has my vote, sign me up now)
Nate Oats (Would go from football school to basketball school)
Chris Holtmann
Outside The Box:
Dan Hurley (Recruits the northeast well, talent development, age is a plus)
Kelvin Sampson (Style fits like a glove, but age and background are question marks)
Travis Steele (Xavier route again?)
