If you got the HC job, what assistant coaches would you get?
- Thread starter MSU124
- Start date
that every hire has to be in-house or family? At least you're not pushing Kermit Davis Jr. for the job like one or two others have. Nothing against Pierre, Grant or Powers, but the last thing we need is a staff made up entirely of MSU products. Pick any 1 of the 3 and I'm OK with that.
I'm sure that Bryce Drew has a lot of connections having played in both D1 and NBA as well as having coached the past 7 years.
and possibly try and get Horatio Webster for both the potential of getting his son and for the fact that he isbig on discipline. For the other two positions, I have no preference. </p>
And I wish him nothing but success. But calling a guy that has never coached a "home run hire" is a bit much.
Every coach, if he turns out to be great or terrible, has to get a start as an assistant somewhere. He's obviously still very passionate about the game, and about MSU, and his time in the media has to have improved the non-basketball skills that coaching demands.
I don't think that, in a situation like we're about to be in next year, that a single assistant coach hire will make the smallest difference in how much we suck for that year. However, if he turns out to really have a knack for it, by the time we climb out of the rebuilding years, he may really be an asset to the program. Plus, it couldn't look bad for our reputation that a former MSU player is being given the opportunity to become an assistant coach, and would look even better for us if he turned out to be a darn good one.
Perhaps I'm a bit bias; I've always liked Shane Power. As long as he doesn't turn out like Shane Walsh, I can only see how his hiring could be positive or neutral.

I've never gotten the "gotta hire our own" ********.patdog said:
Out of all the coaches in the Final Four, 3 attended the schoolwhere they are now coaching.
Jent, who played at Ohio State. Egelhoff, manager turned DBB at Ohio State. And DannyManning at Kansas.
Why we think we have to stay inside theGT is beyond comprehension.
