ButlerAlumDad Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Sadly {I think on April 5th UB Women's coaching search begins. St. John Fisher's Melissa Graham Kuberka could be someone to look at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 As somebody who was upset over Oats and Hurley leaving, I think FLJ absolutely deserves to go home to her alma mater. She put in more than enough years here, and took this program to another level. She probably could have had some of those bigger jobs, but still chose to stay here. Syracuse is her home and she deserves to go make that program something special as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I worry she'll take all our good players with her, setting the program back years. At least she hasn't already left like Oats did with Alabama. He was practically on the plane by the time the clock hit zero. Edited March 20, 2022 by promotherobot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as we heard that the Alabama brass were at Oats home it was goodbye and thanks for the memories. Go Bulls!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

promotherobot Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 It's been awfully quiet around Coach Jack. Is it a good sign? Is Mark Alnutt at least discussing what would keep her at UB? I appreciate her not bolting ala Oats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From her tweets, she really likes Alnutt, but not sure if he can get to where she would need to be to stay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likely weighing her options as she has done most years. She’s earned it either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But no news is good news In my view the probability of FLJ not going to her "dream" job in the ACC for more money in her home town and alma mater is about zero. I find it hard to come up with a reason she would stay if she was offered the job, and find it hard to believe that the AD would go after someone else, but he does need to go thru the process. I think Mark Alnutt has plenty of great options to backfill the program with, as FLJ has turned it into a top 75 D1 program.

Jeseph Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Always an ambassador but I still see no way that she's our coach next year 🥲 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She would be missed as a coach for sure, but also as a representative and mouthpiece for UB as a whole. She is very passionate and makes people want to buy what she's selling. Let's hope against hope that she is with us next season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rma Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 When/if FLJ takes the SU job, she will be coaching against one of her former students, "Mox" Agugua-Hamilton, who just took the Virginia job after spending three years at Missouri State. Agugua played for FLJ at Hofstra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TML1000 Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 The situation that played out at Missouri State would be an ideal scenario for UB is FLJ does indeed leave...after Harper left for Tennessee, they brought in Agugua-Hamilton, a top young assistant/associate HC at a solid program (Michigan State). Missouri State has not had any drop off, if anything, they were even more successful, with a sweet 16 appearance last season and an at-large berth this season. If we need to hire a new coach, hopefully we will make something close to as good a hire as Missouri State did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it hard to believe that UB will/can offer FLJ the salary and milestone bonuses that SU can afford. Plus there are the intangibles, as other have pointed out, that would be a powerful draw for FLJ to return home. As for the players, I don't see it as FLJ "taking" 1-3 players...in my mind there will be a number of players "wanting to go" with a person who has meant so much to them on and off the court.

TML1000 Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 I obviously was not referring specifically to Michigan State. Also, these are slightly different times for our women's program...instead of our head coach stepping down to head to a MAAC school, our head coach may be going to the ACC.
