To each his own. HC transfers are the only ones which interest me. So far there is not much happening. Everything is frozen until a new coach is hired. Fingers are crossed.

I feel much the same. I do hope HC does not lose much time just "starting" a national search now (I did not find the press release on that reassuring), when this has been so clear for so long now . Hopefully they are already well into interviews or negotiating the contract terms with the coach of their choice.

Hopefully they are already well into interviews or negotiating the contract terms with the coach of their choice. I think there’s only so much we could do while Nelson was still the coach. We could certainly develop a list of preferred candidates. For any that are working at another school, we’d have to get permission to speak to the candidate. We can’t do that while we have a coach. Even if we could, no coach is going to interview for a job that another coach is still in. So, I’m guessing we had some ideas on paper but probably didn’t actually speak to any candidates while Nelson was still here. Hopefully we are reaching out and getting the needed permissions and can start interviewing shortly. Some of those in whom we might be interested are still coaching games which adds another wrinkle and potential delay.

Let the exodus begin...Bo Montgomery is in the portal I think Bo, and others who enter into the portal this time around, should be treated a bit differently than in past years. Bo probably wants to get a taste for the portal waters to see if there are any bites. But maybe he’d be open to allowing the next coach to recruit him back to HC (assuming the next guy wants him). Fingers crossed Batch doesn’t get any ideas.

Perhaps thinking 2 years somewhere- one as a grad student. Worked for Granderson & Green.
As I said somewhere on here: the longer you don't have a coach, the more of this you'll see.

This is why it’s super important to hire a name coach ASAP. The portal can be used to fill out a roster. Possibly expect one or two more departures.

I am not sure there is a "name coach" out there knocking on our door. Kit et al have to get this right. Screw it up and HC is stuck with someone for 4 years. If that happens it will further bury the program. I'll take the chance of kids transferring to get the right person.

Although I made a joke about Miller from Alabama needing to stay on campus until May to finish classes, I was totally serious about Bo.
Courtesy of COVID, he has two years of eligibility left. Austin Butler and Matt Faw both did it. Transfer now and you might be hard pressed to get credits towards the Masters. A lot of schools won't give you the Bachelors if you're only on campus for one year. They want some minimum number of credits at their institution to give you a piece of paper.
If Bo (or any other junior) is going to need two more years to get a Bachelors at a different school, I think that kid might be better served by staying put and getting his Bachelors and at least halfway towards his Masters in that same time frame

Just because a player makes a commitment before the end of the semester does not mean the player will not finish the academic semester.

I hope when our next coach is in place and our 23-24 team in place you are totally wrong. Just sayin'

500-750k base with performance incentives will get someone to knock! Stop skimping, it’s gotten the school to the bottom of D1 and look all the years we have paid for coaches contracts that weren’t even here. This is the most crucial hire in the history of the program, agree?

But the burden is on Kit to be more successful in selling HC to current players than former AD MB was. I don't know any inside details but I wonder if there was a rationalization that any departures would hasten the adoption of the new "Attack and Serve" Era and thus a turnaround of the program, so they weren't all bad?

This is the most crucial hire in the history of the program, agree? I’d argue the hire after Willard was more critical. HC was widely respected as a very good mid-major and routinely ranked in the top 150 or so each year from about 2000-2009. This was before conference realignment came along, so if HC’s success continued, who knows what the trajectory of the program might have looked like.
