Reading his bio on Boston college's web site he has a good amount of experience. Has been on successful mid major programs including time in the Mac with Ohio but bc has been a disappointment while he has been there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one out of that program should be getting raises. He was also really bad at TCU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Why is no one talking about the actual associate head coach of Michigan State? Dwayne Stephens. He has to be a wildcard in this thing. He fits the bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather take the super successful associate head coach Stephens has a really good profile. The article states hes almost too laid back of a guy to push himself to a job. Izzo even calls him not a good enough bullshitter lol. Not to rope Oats into this but seems like the opposite of Stephens. And I don't even mean that in a negative light for Nate, since day 1 I thought he had that great motivator, bullshitter, salesman vibe (probably why none of the recent stuff he did moved the needle much with me). But Stephens could be quite the get. All he knows is success. I also like the bit about how MSU never gets Top 20 recruits, but constantly succeeds by finding the right guys, and Stephens finds them. This could make him a sneaky good recruiter at a mid major... someone who identifies the right fit instead of going just by how a player is rated.

MillenniumBull Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 If we could land Stephens, I’d suddenly be happy Oats left. That is an upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuchMany Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Fun to talk about, but no reason to think Stephens is a realistic option at this point. Right hand man associate coaches at big time programs usually jump into the same conference or at least P5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
121Merrimac Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 I figured he’d be out of our price range. Does anyone want to try and put a price tag against each of the contenders? Almost certainly they wouldn’t all be offered the same starting salary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BasketBull Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 (edited) I would have been ok with Lanier at Buffalo but I'm more excited to be going a different direction. Edited April 5, 2019 by BasketBull 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zigo230 Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 I'm Ok with the search continuing. Rob Lanier had a sub .500 head coaching record in college if I'm not mistaken. Gotta keep reminding myself that neither Hurley or Oats had any NCAA coaching record when they were hired....and they did a great job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunter was on the highest salary after being the best coach in the conference at 425k MAC 8th conference, Sun Belt 17th But yeah, as far as recruiting in the SE you are right.

Whoever the new coach is better bring in some forwards with immediate eligibility, we have no size whatsoever and basically no depth or experience either.

everlast2504 Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 We need to get a Coach in place soon. We could stop this and maybe pick have a few of these guys re-commit. Maybe even a press leak if the guy is still coaching a team playing basketball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
