Who would ever replace Self?
-
This is an event that is 10 to 15 years away. The guy that replaces Self might not be coaching right now.
-
@Jethro that would be wonderful!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Drew reeks of douchiness and small dog syndrome. But he deserves credit for what he has done in Waco. People forget that program was nearly cancelled before he was hired due to teammates killing each over drugs. That place was really as low as you could go before him.
-
That guy just looks like he must have had some connection to the Branch Davidians. I’m a no vote.
-
I think Drew has come a long ways over the years. I used to slam him and call him the “Rolex coach” saying he would start a recruit visit with a handshake while sliding on a Rolex.
I’ve watched a lot of interviews with him over the years. The guy showed some humility and was open-minded to improving his knowledge of the game. Add that in with the Baylor administration making a big “spiritual commitment” to all their programs and it does add up to success.
We can’t say Baylor is just a flash in the pan anymore. Their environment is built for success. For that, I give Drew his hard-earned kudos!
I do wonder if they dip somewhat from losing Tang because I think he is popular with players.

What about Norm Roberts?
-
Any thoughts from those of you who follow these things, about this guy from Seth Davis’s list of coaches likely to move to new jobs this year:
Pat Kelsey, head coach, Charleston. In just his second season with the Cougars, Kelsey has led the team to a 31-3 record, the CAA regular season and conference titles, and the program’s first AP Top 25 ranking in 13 years. But he’s no one-hit-wonder. Kelsey is a Skip Prosser disciple who was an assistant coach at Wake Forest and Xavier, and as the head coach at Winthrop, he led the Eagles to three league titles in his last five years. He coaches an exciting, up-tempo style and has a high-octane personality, which would be appealing to a program in need of energy.
-
Definitely going to get attention after their season is over. They look like a team that can win a game next week

ya , why not - -Knows Coach Self’s system, so no change there, Been with Ku as long as Coach - -seems like continuity wouldn’t been broken. - We could do worse
-
I’m probably forgetting someone, but would Haase be amongst the best KU guys to hire today? Personally I’d rather they looked for the next rising star, but I suppose that could be Jeremy Case in 10 years as well.
-
@dylans There’s not really anyone with ties to KU that are impressive enough at this point to merit interest for a job the caliber of Kansas.
-
@BShark LMAO I’ve never seen a better use of this meme.

Let’s get Haase at K-State. After Tang leaves, let’s you and me start a hire Haase campaign. Those dumb rednecks won’t know any better. We’ll go on their boards, and pretend we’re real fans.
-
@Jethro lol. I don’t want a KU guy hired. I think would be a mistake - none are any good and they’d be hard to fire.
I’m still a Brad Stevens fan.
-
Norm not looking too bad.
-
I love Norm.
But Norm had his chance at St. John’s. I think we can do better. And I think we can find a guy who will be here for 15+ seasons.
-
@Kcmatt7 but he might never lose a game again!
-
He’s to old
-
@Crimsonorblue22 That’s what Peter said about shadow and how did that turn out?!

Young stud who will be the obvious choice at the time. A decades long hire that is a marriage to the institution. It’ll be a new beginning and I’m glad I’m not shouldering the decision.
-
Watching Norm has me pining for Self if anything. He certainly has a higher tolerance for mistakes for better or worse.
-
Slim chance, but maybe Jay Wright would come out of retirement for a few years? Easier to recruit at Kansas.
-
Would jay wright have the courage to play KJ at the 4 like norm?
-
@BShark I honestly sometimes wish BS would let guys play thru their mistakes a little more often, especially the younger guys. I agree with about 95% of what BS does and hindsight is always 20/20.
-
Norm and jay r old

And a much higher tolerance for MJ!
Although I was happy to see him play, despite his play.
-
If Self doesn’t come back, I’d like to see KU go after UConn’s coach.
-
@AsadZ oh lord it would be harder to cheer for KU with a Hurley at the helm
-
Farmer, The guy can recruit and coach.
-
Doesn’t mean I have to like him
-
Perhaps I’m missing something as I don’t have information on his background
Pardon my ignorance here

Oh HELL NO no way would I want a hurley even close to the KU campus. - If we had to get our replacement, which we will some time-but I woudl ry like hell to pull Jay Wright out of retirement. Think he would be really good for us. He will not ever come out but wouldn’t hurt to wish lol
-
Jay, Why is dat?
-
@AsadZ He’s a bit sleazy I think, maybe some coach K wore off on him 30 years ago?
-
His brother played at Duke, now ASU HC.

Danny didn’t play at Duke. He played at Seton Hall for PJ Carlesimo. Bobby Hurley, the head coach at Arizona St., is the one that played for Coach K at Duke.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 The transitive property of sleaze applies to thing even indirectly connected to K.

Hard pass. No. Just no.
-
Will Wade 2 KU
-
@BShark And now you will burn for a sin of darkest evil…
-
@BShark before I found out how used cars salesman sleazy Wade was I thought he was on a trajectory to end up coaching a blue blood. Might still happen. I’d wager Chris Beard will be coaching at a blue blood within 5 years.
-
CS still quiet as far as I’ve seen. Not sure how to take that atm. Making me nervous
-
@cragarhawk He’s recruiting.
