"Virginia Tech is now the final entry in the 2007 NCAA Final Four!"

If we only had Seth Greenberg.

Anthony Grant will get a big contract from a big school (South Carolina).

As for hot coaches, I think most work out. Look at what Bruce Pearl has done at Tennessee, Billy Gillispie at Texas A&M. There have been guys who haven't been great, Stan Heath at Arkansas has had moderate success, making the tourny a couple times, but nothing great.  

Not saying USF should just run with cash to the 1st hot coach out of this year's tourny, but they definitly deserve a look if the job were to come available.

[highlight]Unfortunately MAB, in today's T Trib, Grant mentioned that he wasn't going to take just any job[/highlight]..... he wanted something that would set him up for success, thus the VCU job.  I doubt he would consider the train wreck that is our beloved USF Bulls. He wouldn't be set up for success, just an opportunity with a huge upside. I mean if you can win at the toughest job in America (according to Dickie V) then you can win anywhere. Right!

Anthony are you up to the challenge????

Also the article mentioned 2 more assistants that might make the jump into head coaching jobs. Larry Shyatt (former Wyoming and CLemson HC) and Donnie Jones, long time assistant for Eddie Munster. And they both said the same thing, if the right set up comes along.

Here's the link ti the article you refered to.

I just don't see Grant leaving after one year like that. I don't think he'd do that that VCU... especially for a situation like we have currently down here. Maybe in a couple of years...

Why not just wait for the next 'Cinderella story' in this year's NCAA Tournament and we can all salivate about that "one-hit" wonder...

If we only had  <coaches name>.

Excellent idea!

Let not desperation drive your actions.

Grant also has pulled in a KILLER class (for the CAA), pulling in 2 of the top 10 players in Florida and another who is all state. I think he'll stay another year or two now.

Two weeks ago I thought differently. But I've changed my mind.

I've made my thoughts known on RMc, and have no desire to discuss other coaches until such time that we learn whether RMc will be our coach next year or not.

I know your stance on the MAC situation but you won't talk Hypotheticals? Come on, you can't be for real?

That's all well and good, but I do.

I say Anthony Grant.

You never know until you try.

I'm kinda liking the grant idea as well, still want to see how they do in the tournie though.
