Some names are starting to leak out in the Bulldogs
coaching search. Sources say VCU coach Shaka Smart has been contacted
and is warm to the idea of possibly being the Bulldogs next head coach.
Smart led his team to the Final Four last season, and is in the NCAA
Tourney once again this year. He is good friends with Bama coach Anthony
Grant, and is a former assistant at Florida under Billy Donovan. Coach
Smart has that SEC experience you like to see in a new coach.</p>
Also, add Kentucky top assistant Orlando Antigua as a possible
candidate. Working under Calipari, you would have to think he has been
making those connections that are helpful for a new head coach.</p>
The Bulldogs also hope to get former player Horatio Webster involved
with the program. Webster was a good player for the Bulldogs back in the
1990?s, and is currently coaching in the Jackson, Miss area.</p>
