How About Wojo?

[UneducatedGuess]

Are we not good enough to hire a HC? We have to go guessing on assistants?

Or former, proven HCs even.

Agree

Been a Coach K assistant for years. Chris Collins is turning things around at Northwestern. If we're going to wind up taking a flyer on a coach, might as well get one from a productive coaching tree. I'd be happier with that than some Stan Heath/Cuonzo Martin mid-major flash in the pan.

Thoughts?

I said the same thing in another thread I think it would be a awesome hire.

pretty sure Wojo has been to the dance. Maybe even a few championship games

Who was the HC? I'll hang up and listen.

That's so short-sighted, IMO.

We have no money, so who that is proven would fit the bill?

Pearl is a pipe dream. As EMain pointed out in another thread, that Show Cause doesn't expire until late August. Just doesn't add up.

So, you want a proven coach we can afford and that the fan base would be happy with. Name them.

Howland and Byrd come to mind.

If you're going to hire from the Duke coaching tree why not go after Bobby Hurley at Buffalo?

SUNY Buffalo is currently 16-8

One selling point, Tennessee has no state income tax.
Second selling point, this year was an exception, it normally doesn't snow in Knoxville.

If Coach K is 67 years old, why doesn't he have any gray hair?

Now that's an interesting name with some definite pedigree that would probably fit within UT's budget. Issue is the same as with Wojo though, would he bolt to Puke once Coach K retires if offered the job?
