Trying to keep up with it as best I can on the net. Heard several names tossed out there. Hoiberg, Dixon, Beard, and even Luke Walton. They will pay somebody a lot of money to assume their vacancy. If you were UCLA, who would be your next coach? I would see if Cal was interested if I were UCLA because in the past it appears that they don't mind bending rules so Cal would fit in perfectly. I would also look to see if Donovan was interested as well. To me the other names you mentioned does not have the big time name that UCLA is looking for.

rico Posted February 25, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 I see what the on the radar guys are, but I tend to look at the under the radar guys. Wojo from Marquette?

DC2345 Posted February 25, 2019 Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 For someone to succeed at UCLA they need to have the personality that would fit in LA. I think this is something that hurt Alford more than people realize. For me it has to be someone with a big personality. I keep hearing Tony Bennett but I don't think he fits there either. I think Cal is the best fit there is. I think IU really needs to hope that UCLA feels the same way because that could really help with keeping recruits in the midwest from going to UK.

Indy1987 Posted February 25, 2019 Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 Pitino would be perfect for them even with the baggage. That job needs a flashy coach with a big personality. And I'm sure they could get him cheap. Plus he's probably only got 4 or 5 years left of coaching in him. He could turn them around and make UCLA a more desirable job for the next guy. I can't see Cal leaving UK for another college gig. Self on the other hand has the NCAA breathing down his back. This could be his escape clause. Go Hoosiers!!!

If you were UCLA, who would be your next coach? They'll make plenty of calls but when the dust settles they (much like us) will realize the list isn't as long as they hoped. My guess is Earl Watson. Unless UCLA really opens the vaults of $. Talking $10M per year type of deal like Kentucky or Bama did in football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's had some time off and hopefully his back has healed. Not a long term solution for the Bruins but I could see him coaching and doing well. And he is squeaky clean.

rico Posted February 25, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 One name that is way under the radar is Johnny Dawkins. He did fine at Stanford. And now he has UCF clicking. A "K" disciple as a player and a coach. And he has played in the NBA. One guy to really keep an eye on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is a Bruin Report article from January 7, where they were tracking Archie as a potential hire. https://247sports.com/college/ucla/LongFormArticle/Checking-in-on-UCLA-Coaching-Candidates-127443280/#127443280_11 Here are comments from two UCLA fans: I'd love to know that Archie Miller is being seriously considered, and that there is any chance of getting him. Is there any info to that effect? If Miller is on the table, he instantly becomes a top two candidate with Beard. and this I find it hard to believe anyone from Sean Miller's coaching tree, let along his little brother would be seriously considered if UCLA is going for what it seems like they're going for here. Beyond that, I'm not sure why Archie Miller would leave a job he took over twenty months ago where he could win a national championship for what's probably more of a lateral move than anything else.

From the link, my how times have changed since that was written: Indiana appears to be progressing nicely under Miller. In his first year, Indiana was just a game over .500, but in year two, the Hoosiers have improved from 71st to 27th in KenPom, and went 9-2 in non-conference play after going 7-6 last season. Their losses so far are all understandable (each on the road, against No. 52 Arkansas, No. 1 Duke, and No. 5 Michigan) and they have good wins over Marquette, Louisville, and Butler. Indiana is about equally good offensively and defensively, with a very good inside game offensively. They should comfortably make the NCAA Tournament this year, and possibly even get into a top four seed depending on how the rest of the season shakes out.

IU Scott Posted February 25, 2019 Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 6 minutes ago, Officer Obie said: Sorry. My bad. Achie Ryan is the man. If you seriously think Archie needs fired then that is plain ridiculous. You never fire a coach after two year sunless there is something off the court that gets them in trouble. I just don't understand people like you who are so impatient and can't give a coach at least 4 years to see how they did. Luckily for Duke or UVA or many other schools that you weren't in charge because you would have fired coach K after two years. Good luck with who you could hire if we fired Archie after this year because the candidate pool would be very thin and would have to settle for some mid major coach again.

He'd be the first one I'd contact. Offer him $8 million. If he turns it down, go to $9 million. Turns it down again go to $10 million. I think that's how a UCLA, IU, Duke, UK, UNC, KU should go about hiring a coach. Start with throwing a ton of money at the best coach and work your way down from there.

He has proven he can win a championship at Villanova so why would he leave to go to a place that has unrealistic expectations and would be fired within 5 years if he doe snot meet them.
