OT: FDU Parts way with coach Greg Herenda
- Thread starter MadRU
- Start date
Herenda may end up at Seton Hall. Should we lose Knight, I think Pike is very good friends with Herenda so worth watching.
FDU sounds like a job to take if you don’t care about your coaching career getting dinged.
If we lose Knight, we could end up with McConnell. He runs the Princeton offense which seems to be more effective than the one Karl runs. Karl can then work on defense. The other guy I like is Kevin Ollie.
Depends how big of an NIL wad you put in his back pocket. I think the basis for evaluating a staff's ability to recruit is going to change significant going forward.
I don’t know how anyone can run a successful program there. No Alumni interest. No student interest in sports. The gym isn’t tiny, but no interest from general sports fans. No TV coverage and a lousy conference.
You can run a successful program there because you are competing with programs who are in the same boat.
I don’t know about that. Some of those schools have some type of fanbase and aren’t empty campuses on weekends. I have not been to the other NEC schools, but I would guess have nicer campuses than FDU—Hackensack. I was there years ago and it is completely different than FDU-Madison.
Rutgers has struggled to land elite players long before NIL entered the picture. A successful recruiting background is a prerequisite for a Big Ten hoops staff opening.
FDU- Teaneck (or is it now Hackensack?), NJIT, St. Peters, and Rider all pay about $250K for a Head Coach. Monmouth is double that for King . I think Rider is the best job out of those.
It is FDU Teaneck, but the athletic center is just across the river in Hackensack.
2009 was a long time ago and Green did have 3 real bad years at the end, but overall kept FDU a fairly good program.
Greg Herenda did have a 21-14 record as FDU's HC in the 2018-19 season and won the NEC regular season title also won that conference's tournament championship .
So under the right leadership the FDU Knights might not look like deathtrap for coaches and could be a stop on the trip upward for the right HC.
Found this about Green:
>Tom Green served as the head coach of the Fairleigh Dickinson University men’s basketball team from 1983-2009. Green compiled the most wins in FDU program history (407) with a record of 407-351 for a .536 win percentage. His 260 conference victories still rank first all-time among Northeast Conference Coaches. He finished his tenure with a 260-190 record against league foes which represents a better than 60 percent win percentage.
Green led the Knights to four NCAA Tournament berths in 1985, 1988, 1998 and 2005 and two National Invitational Tournament Appearances in 1991 and 2006.
In 26 years at the helm of the Knights, Green recorded 18 winning seasons with 16 NEC Tournament semifinal appearances. Under Green, the Knights played in nine NEC Championship games.
During his time with FDU, Green was named Coach of the Year on numerous occasions. He received the honor twice from the Northeast Conference, three times from the New Jersey Writers’ Association, three times from the New Jersey Coaches’ Association, once from the Metropolitan Basketball Writers’ Association and once as awarded by the NIT.<

News of the ouster was announced by FDU athletics director Bradford Hurlbut Monday.
Hurlbut? That's Herendas!
Sorry in advance...

NEC is about to lose Mount St Mary's to the MAAC. One of the few good programs left in that conference. Bryant and MSM leaving, NEC has 7 members, provisional Merrimack for 1 more year and new provisional member Stonehill(Mass), 4 years.

Want to change this now?
can I constantly brag about this .Good call!
I'd love to bring up this in other discussions claiming "Madhat knows" what he's talking about , then pointing out how I was right about FSU's hire
That's up to you... But now whenever he brags about it as evidence of his expertise on all things Rutgers, the rest of us can remind him that we consider MADHAT1's FDU hire prediction to be much more impressive... (Thank you lord..)can I constantly brag about this .
