Good luck with that. It isn't always just about the money. The big programs have a huge advantage in just about everything and the advantage is ever expanding. You either a) have decide you are really going to step up your budget or b) hope you get lucky like St. Mary's did by hiring a coach who is happy where he is and is fine with a good (not great) mid-major salary. As for a) we seem more likely to be moving in the opposite direction of that so we'll have to keep our fingers crossed for b).

Good one Jeff I'm sure Schaus is way ahead of the game in the coaching search, with no extension for Saul, I'd say he started his search last year, but the real question is, Do you hire a young Coach like Jeff Boals ?

Amazing to think TOS has gone from young new coach to a B&B retiree already in this century. From my experience under 40 is young to be a FB Head Coach but for basketball 32 is the same as 40. We keep hearing from OCF how Phillips is a young coach but at 46 not really nor is he leading his first D1 basketball program.

No way to fault any coach that leaves early. The absolute key, in my opinion, is to find a coach that also values hiring guys that could leave them and the Bobcats early to become a head coach, or associate head coach elsewhere - Chris Holtmann or Fuss for example. That caliber of assistant coach could then take over the program when the coach leaves, retaining some form of continuity. Easier said than done I'm sure, but an important part of the success at Xavier and Butler over recent years. Back to Top .

He didn't have much coaching experience, now he is getting big-time recruits coming to his alma mater. Would having Gary Trent back in Athens help bring recruits to the campus? Would it create a buzz around the school?

Or along the same line of thinking, Geno Ford or Jeff Boals? Maybe it reinvigorates older fans and alumni in their 40's and older, but anyone younger than that, unless they're a basketball/OU sports die-hard, those folks probably don't even know who those guys are, or what their significance is. If you don't sell the history of the program game in, and game out, those great old players are of no significance to the current batch of students. I'd even bet you that more than 50% of freshmen and sophomores don't even know who DJ Cooper is.
