13th&Jackson Posted February 5, 2020 Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 Vanderbilt AD who hired Stackhouse resigns after one year. Thought this was an odd fit for Vandy when the AD was hired. Vandy is 0-8 in SEC. In a prepared statement, Turner cited "certain family commitments" and "new opportunities" as reasons for his resignation. Sources said Vanderbilt's financial approach and spending under Turner, a first-time college athletic director, escalated tension in recent weeks and led to Tuesday's split. Stackhouse called the moves surprising on Tuesday while meeting with reporters ahead of Wednesday's game against No. 18 LSU. He had a meeting with Turner scheduled for Thursday to talk about plans for athletics. But the coach said nothing changes for him with his paychecks coming from Vanderbilt. https://www.espn.com/college-sports/story/_/id/28634293/vanderbilt-ad-malcolm-turner-resigns-candice-lee-interim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could MSU being alot like IU has been. Duke will probably still be successful but not at the level they are now. I think Syracuse will fall off into obscurity and be a mediocre program.

Syracuse is pretty much there already and Boeheim might have stayed to long. With Duke if coach K has anything to do with his replacement then it will be one of his guys and a former player at Duke.

IU Scott Posted February 5, 2020 Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 Also look how long UCLA has been trying to find that next great coach. Gene Bartow left after one year because f their fan base and their expectations. Going to 3 straight final fours was not good enough when Howland was there.

Someone that is close to both K and Brad told me that is the only job that is intriguing to him if for some reason he and Boston parted ways. Now many have said IU is his college dream job but there are a lot of dots that connect Brad to Duke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Coach K hand picks the successor. North Carolina on the other hand....yeah, they won't bring in a UNC guy.

Rough time to be a die-hard fan of both teams, lol. Yep. Not to derail but add my 2nd favorite team (Miami Hurricanes) to the mix and their head coach debacles I've been in a coaching blender for about 15-20 years. One of these days we'll get it all figured out. Back to hoops. Stevens and Duke just seem to make the most sense if K does step down. Stevens can transition to Duke, head up the Olympics and away they go again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And before anyone says "It will be easy to recruit at Duke"....Stevens will still have to make in home visits....and that just isn't going to happen. Never mind the fact that he is probably the best young coach in the NBA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason UNC was able to land Williams is that he was an UNC guy and is from there. right now there are no UNC guys out there that would be a great hire, maybe Wes miller but that is not a huge name. At Duke there are plenty of coaches out there with Duke background but none have been impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
