If you’re an AD, is TJ Otz on your short list?

[SCyclone]

I wouldn't see why not, but the last SDSU coach ended up at a mid major. If I were TJ I'd hold out a bit longer. 2 or 3 more years of success and he might not have to settle for that. This year I don't think there are jobs available that sound super appealing.

There might be an opening at Arizona. Or UCLA??????

Wisconsin will hire Tony Bennett if Gard is fired, not TJ

This is assuming Tony Bennett want to go back to Wisconsin. He has a good thing going in UVA. up. It is his home and could continue his family basketball legacy but it isn't a better job. There are rumors him going to the NBA too. Bucks are looking for a coach this summer....

He's got stud freshman all over the damn place, he'll be fine.

Jenkins is the only freshmen.

They are going to think they can do better than him.

Would love to see him at DePaul. That program really should be doing much better than it is. It's pretty much been dead for 20 years.

Probably longer than that in all reality. Kennedy did have some success.

Wasn't Prohm's name brought up at Georgia already? I don't see that happening and I obviously don't want to see him go, but TJ would be a great replacement.

I thought they hired Tom Crean, or maybe it's not final/official yet

They are going to think they can do better than him.

Yeah, it was kind of a joke.

If I am an AD, I am looking at Dan Hurley (Rhode Island). Though Nate Oats out of Buffalo just upped his stock a good amount.

 

[MTCyclone43]

One more missed tourney and Gard is gone. Almost perfect timing for TJ. Wisconsin would be perfect.

I would love to see TJ beat the Chokeeyes on a regular basis.

 

[Cyclonepride]

I just pray that Barta doesn't get wise all of a sudden and replace Fran with Otz. That would really suck.

Odds of that happening? Don't lose any sleep over it.

 

[c.y.c.l.o.n.e.s]

Yeah, I think Kennedy had some shady recruiting practices and that's where the wheels fell off (again). I checked and Meyer's last year he had 3 wins. That was pretty much the end for him.

I hope TJ does well, but wouldn't mind seeing him stay at SDSU a couple more years.

Joey's dad Ray was a legend that coached for DePaul for many years and brought in a ton of Chicago talent. Joey kept that going for quite a while and then for some reason the program started to just fall apart. It really hasn't come close to reaching the old glory days since.

I'm curious to see how he'll do without Daum.

Good and fair point.

 

[Doc]

Good year for him.

Nah, because I'd want to see him succeed without Daum. The guy from Buffalo would be though!

I grew up about a half mile from DePaul and was a fan when I was in high school. It was fun when they were good. I didn't really follow them during the big glory years under Ray. Started following under Joey.

This is a little before my time, but I remember this type of commercial (though I remember the tempo being quicker):
