2) Zero shot Lonergan would be considered, but when the $ starts drying up b/c your husband is unemployed, that changes things. True. Lonergan has now been out of work for almost three years. He did get some sort of a settlement, but it was likely a lot less than he would have made as a coach. Btw, in his five years at GWU, 13 players left the program. A number of them claimed abusive behavior by Lonergan.

Is it possible that Freddie Owens is the best candidate? Wouldn’t mind some of that Bo Ryan stuff he learned at Wisonsin coming to HC.

Given the timing of the resignation and the fact that Blossom doesn't officially start at HC for 2 weeks, I don't have the normal heartburn (which generally isn't very much anyway) on using the search firm in this case. This is the search firm that BC used for its current AD, and Villanova used as well for its current AD.

If the caller ID says the phone call is coming from Greece, don't answer it. Too funny. Chris Potter isn't walking thru that door. Michael Vicens isn't walking thru that door.

Pat Kennedy hasn't coached in eight years, and his last winning season was at the turn of the century. And he's 67 years old.
The word "NO" springs to mind.

Of course, he's probably referring to assistant Joe Kennedy, Pat's son.

Isn't it winning programs that have heir apparents? Losing programs usually have no parents, they are orphans.

1. You didn't tell us four years ago that he was a Springsteen fan. That would have changed everything. 2. He couldn't be hired four years ago because he had zero head coaching experience. That is not a risk any AD would take. 3. He is now qualified for the job but will probably not be interested. No reason not to invite him in for an interview. 4. Sometimes timing is everything. What are you going to do? 5. He is not the only qualified coach out there but he is definitely one of them.

Just asking...might Greg Herenda be interested in HC after his time at FDU? I remember hearing his name brought up a few years ago and we know him now from our home and home games with the FDU Knights. He has puled off some nice recruiting for Fairleigh Dickinson (a difficult place to recruit).

Joe Scott? Knows HC and our players... has been working in a new system with Crean at Georgia, head coaching experience, knows the academic side of the recruiting gig...

AD Blossom, if you're reading this, please reach out to Larranaga and bring Heinsohn / Ronnie Perry Jr. to the meeting. Maybe have Matt Chmura accidentally walk into the "wrong room" at the garden with HC apparel on....

You are 100% correct ‘haze. He was coming but vetoed by his wife He is a tremendous coach: proven winner MIKE LONERGAN IS THE MAN FOR HC!!! After the conduct that caused GWU to fire him, it's hard to believe HC would even put him on a list of coaches to interview - even though he is a good coach in a very narrow sense. Good gracious; his conduct was not unforgivable! He got caught up in the maelstrom of "coaching correctness." I'll bet 100 bucks Coach K, Bobby Knight, and countless others did the same or worse in their careers but that their timing was not as bad.
LONERGAN will win!

In thinking which way Blossom will lean, I'll take the field rather than anyone on this list.
