ORUTerry Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Donnie Tyndall is out as head coach at Tennessee after only one year. Seems that The NCAA is investigating the Southern Mississippi program that he ran before taking the Tennessee job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Titan Posted March 27, 2015 Author Share Posted March 27, 2015 Greg Marshall (Wichita State) to Texas? Brad Underwood (Stephen F. Austin) to Tennessee or Alabama? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORUalum Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Bradley went with Green Bay's Brian Wardle. (Scott Nagy was interviewed) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORUJason Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Is Bradley a step up from Green Bay? The conference is better, but the history for the school seems worse IMO. Maybe the $ were quite a bit better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Titan Posted March 31, 2015 Author Share Posted March 31, 2015 Greg Marshall reportedly interviewed with Alabama Monday. Which means Texas may have already passed on the Wichita State coach, in favor of VCU's Shaka Smart. Lots of these discussions take place before and during the Final Four and its subsequent meetings. It's a veritable feeding ground for coaching prospects and AD's on the hunt. Should see a lot more clarity by this same time next week.

ORUalum Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 I've learned that Texas' search firm reached out to representatives of Jay Wright to gauge his interest. Was told thanks but no thanks.— Seth Davis (@SethDavisHoops) March 31, 2015 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORUalum Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 RE: Liberty I got a late e-mail from a source saying to keep an eye on Scott Sutton at Oral Roberts and Ritchie McKay at UVa.— Chris Lang (@ChrisLangLNA) April 1, 2015 BREAKING!

Old Titan Posted April 1, 2015 Author Share Posted April 1, 2015 Would be very surprised if Scott Sutton went to a Baptist school like Liberty, but I suppose stranger things have happened. If so, he might have to get dunked - and I ain't talking about on the basketball floor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Titan Posted April 1, 2015 Author Share Posted April 1, 2015 FWIW, does this sound like a guy who's leaving ORU?? Congrats to Coach Folmar and @ORUBaseball for the great win over the Pokes !— Scott Sutton (@CoachSSutton) April 1, 2015 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORUalum Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 nope, but it would be kinda funny if Bob Hoffman lost another job to Scott Sutton... Per @DM_Shirley, Bob Hoffman is staying at Mercer. Will not be Liberty's next head coach.— Chris Lang (@ChrisLangLNA) April 1, 2015 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORUIllini Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Ritchie McKay was head coach at Liberty before....I know it may not necessarily mean anything, but would they use the term "new member" of Flames nation if it was McKay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORU82 Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Quick search shows that Liberty's 2013-2014 basketball budget was $1,844,506, while our basketball budget for the same time was $2,482,531. So again, why would you leave to go to LU? That move appears to be a demotion in more ways than one. However, whoever on here knows Mike Minyard please contact him and get us the 411 ASAP!
