Bring in Howland if he gets Kevin Love and Russell Westbrook to finish up their degrees at USF. I think they both have a couple years of eligibility left.

I say NO to Howland based on the CNNSI article about his tenure at UCLA. Too much baggage!

Hem, why don't you STFU instead?   Just telling it like it is!

unlikely howland would come unless ad and him got along at ucla

 

usf needs a big name coach

 

 

most dont know those 3 from duke

 

Actually somewhat agree with smazza on this. Those 3 don't create anywhere the buzz a Pearl or Howland would ... Go for a name, that has the X&O's, first. If can't entice one, go for the X&O's and if one of those 3 fit, fine.

I would love Howland as a hire. Btw, the wording on if he finds a job should be sop from here on out at USF

Howland equals more boring offensive basketball. This program needs a jolt in the arm, not more root canal basketball.

Final Four's are not boring. I don't give a **** what kind of offense/defense a coach has, it's all about the W's ... You want a jolt, become a GlobeHead

+1, I personally don't care how they win, as long as they do win.

If bulliever's posted article is true, imagine a talented guy like Howland would let Harlan be his boss again.

I can't see Howland as our coach.

A duke alumnus like capel, Snyder or Dawkins would get us buzz.

 

Howland is a no. If you can't win at UCLA then I don't know to tell you. 70% of his time at UCLA was far under that programs standards. USF is no UCLA and that guy was awful there down the stretch.

 

Capel is a no. You get in the tournament and a have a couple wins and then have two losing seaons. Remind you of anyone?

 

We need someone who can sustain sucess. Someone who can build a program not just a team. Some one smart enough to plan ahead and get class sizes set up to win every year.

He got lucky on the recruiting trail. The true Ben Howland can be seen in his final 5 seasons at UCLA. 2-3 in the NCAA tourney and two seasons with no showings and one of those years being a losing seaon. If thats the results he got at UCLA what is five down yers at USF going to look like  for him?

Yep, Bruce Pearl and Buzz Williams are the ones that stack up well against that criteria.
