Mark Pope Replacements (Hypothetical)

If Mark Pope were to get fired after this season, who would be your top options to go after? Assume no current blue blood coaches or coaches that are retired. Here's my list and reasonings: 1. Dusty May: Probably not leaving Michigan because of NIL support they have but he's proven at multiple levels now and you may be able to pull him away from Michigan somehow 2. TJ Oltzelberger: Young coach who has consistently had Iowa State as a good team. Consistently has good Kenpom numbers as well and would probably be able to pull him away from Iowa State 3. Oats/Golden: Young coaches who are both proven and should be able to pull them away from current schools with NIL support, blue blood draw

Shaheen Holloway and Ben McCollum

I don't see May leaving Michigan. Not this soon I think Oats will be at KU I wanted Lloyd last time Pope is a career 63% winning coach. It's not getting better with the money he's had at UK. Just pull the band aide off take the hits and get someone in here who can coach and recruit. Cal and his family are laughing.

Only one from the op's list that would possibly come would be Otzelberger...but I even doubt he would....This isn't the old days when 90% of coaches would crawl just to be the coach here

Cal and his family are not laughing. The rest was good.
