If we get Shaka Smart I will **** a brick<div id="myEventWatcherDiv" style="display:none;"></div>

 

[BogeyGolfer.sixpack]

they won't/don't give up sources either. If they did, they would no longer be able to get info.

 

[615dawg]

Its not definite. But with Marshall headed to South Carolina, Smart is definitely our top target, and money is not a problem.

Not saying it is going to happen, but it won't be because we didn't try. That defense with SEC athletes would be fun to watch.

coach condom salesman/ex jr high bb coach doesn't pull much weight, even if I happen to agree with alot he says.

even jeremiah short says a name, assuming it is real

Until Gene calls and asks his secretary if he'sa scientologist, then it won't look so good.

As potential

[clydefrazier]

the commeners (those without sources) dont understand the complexity of a D1 coaching search.

[ringit]

but when would Shaka put aside time today or yesterday for that matter, to talk to our "search comm" about our vacancy, when he is in Portland getting ready/coaching a game.

 

[saltslugs]

What are you doing that is so interesting/important? He's posting an article for free--choose not to read if you don't like it.

 

[saltslugs]

According to wikipedia, Shaka is currently making $1.2 million. Not saying we can't offer more, but VCU could add to it. Also, Shaka may be willing to stay for a few hundred grand less.

I understand the hiding on here and other msg boards but why the hiding on a publication? Have some balls and stand behind your commentary and/or articles.

Coach and Todd made their names here... Coach for his crusade against Stansbury's lack of success in postseason play and Todd for his knowledge of baseball... and as far as I'm concerned, that's part of the fun of message boards... we don't have to use our real names to defend what we say. Hell, I only know 2 or 3 posters (and they don't post often at all), but I'm perfectly fine with that.

 

[aTotal360]

It's the fact that EVERYTHING is anonymous essentially making you and your "work" unaccountable. Sure he may lose interweb cred, but who gives a ****? He don't. <div>
</div><div>You can swap out "sources" with "by buddy who is in a higher tax bracket".</div><div>
</div><div>I'm not saying his stories are inaccurate or he isn't "in the know", but put a name on it if you want to be a big boy.</div>

You think Tx Mud Dawg is going to use his name after the video he made on da Bears? Do you know how many people I've pissed off over the years?

Read if you want- if you dont- thats ok too...I got interviews with people starting next week- and they know they will be speaking with "Coach34"

NT </p>

 

[HammerOfTheDogs]

but we aren't going to outspend numerous big-time basketball skools who desperately want to be national powers again.

 

[Coach34]

thats how all this works...I've heard he is interested and given us a number...and we know Illinois is in the mix too- but led to believe he wants to stay more south

He cant be interviewed before the Tourney is over...I've heard we are willing to go 2M for the right coach- but that's still rumor right now

 

[hotdigitydog]

that said, I don't see us getting him......Just don't......Especially win the win tonight, his stock is going higher and if he were to win Saturday, his price might be outta reach knowing that bigger and better things may come in due time....

 

[Coach34]

we dont have alot of competition. He may not come to State- but we are talking to his agent to see what we can do- what more can you ask?

 

[GOODDAWG]

How confident are you in you "source". But for real, serious question.

 

[docdawg]

Give us "Tha Shaka"

 

[hotdigitydog]

not like he's got to leave now......I do however think in situations like this it's better to strike while the iron is hot (please see Greg Schiano at Rutgers).....
</p>

 

[DAWG61]

if we get Shaka. He is my top pick and it ain't even close.

 

[HD6]

But you also can't stop other members of the media from using it while discussing said article. Have a great night.

If Jay Bilas were reporting this, no one would ask for his source. If memory serves me Coach34 has broken a few rumors that turned out to be true but I'm not banking on everything he says just yet.

Please tell me just one.

.and we know Illinois is in the mix too-

I'm thinking we might see Chris Collins of Duke go to Illinois

 

[catvet]

but here is the first group that we have had contact with, either by agent or by them inquiring: Kenny Payne, Orlando Antigua, Kermit Davis Jr, and Steve Prohm. Heard it rumored but can't confirm, Scott Nagy of South Dakota State. We are about to begin the true search---I want Shaka or Marshall, but am okay with Prohm. Assistants are a step backwards and no SEC school has hired an assistant as a coach since 1998---MSU hired Rick Stansbury.
