Coaching Carousel - the Hot Seat, the Bench and the High Risers

The following are solely my opinions and speculation:

The carousel may get really exciting!

On the Hot Seat

  • "Adam" Kennedy @ Cincy (interim) - now rumored for Ole Miss
  • Ernie Kent @ Oregon
  • Rob Evans @ Arizona State
  • Dan Monson @ Minnessoooota
  • Louis Orr @ Seton Hall
  • Woolridge @ Kansas State
  • R. McCallum @ South Florida - can you trust an AD in March?
  • Tubby Smith @ Kentucky - may leave for the NBA


    Ready for Retirement?
  • Eddie Sutton
  • John Chaney


    Fired, Resigned, Retired
  • Rob Barnes (Ole Miss)
  • Gary Waters (Rutgers)
  • Quin "L'Oreal" Snyder (Missouri)
  • Mike Davis (Indiana)
  • Eddie Sutton (Oklahoma State) - on a leave of absence
  • Dick Bennett (Washington State)- retired
  • Fired Coaches @ Weber State, Northern Colorado, SE Miss St, Fairfield, Texas State, and a couple of other directional schools, and Colorado College (Division 3)


    Job openings
  • Indiana
  • Cincinatti
  • Missouri
  • Rutgers
  • Ole Miss
  • Weber State, Texas State, Fairfield, Northern Colorado, SE Mizz State


    High risers
    These coaches may be happy where they are, but if the BCS conferences come in with big contracts and seven figures, it may be hard for them to say no:
  • Half of the coaches in the Missouri Valley Conference
  • Mike Anderson @ UAB
  • Karl Hobbs @ GW


    On the Bench
    Unemployed coaches, possibly available for new jobs
  • Bob "Dui" Huggins
  • Rick "USC" Majerus
  • Nolan Richardson
  • Steve "WD40" Lavin
  • Mike Jarvis
  • Pete Gillen
  • Fran "Big 12" Fraschilla
  • Steve "I coached with Rollie" Lapas
  • Quin "L'Oreal" Snyder
  • Mike "Whiner" Davis
  • Rod Barnes

    May become available or return to the college game
  • Mike Montgomery (@Golden State)
