Kimani and the Northeast coaching carousel

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Temple, GTown, SJU and the others open. Given those jobs and the dominoes of people moving around I feel like we’ll be losing our guy.

Not until we advance. I think that is a goal for him. But St. John’s always seemed to be a great fit until pitino got involved. I don’t want him in the big east though. Looking to Murray for a nice run on the bench but as long as Tom is there I feel good.

Not to a Big East school for Job #1.

Iona (assuming Pitino leaves) would be a great spot for him to start.

Possibly to Iona or another MAAC school but he's not getting a head coaching job at any of the schools you named.

I would be more worried about a big east opening scooping up a local mid major coach who then leaves an opening at a small school in the area

Iona won’t hire him either.

Fairfield would if it opens. Or Luke.

One more spot left in the gallows @CL82 ?

This is what I’m saying. The dominoes. Not to one of those schools but to fill a vacancy created.

Sadly, The Boneyard justice system has completely broken down. Of course, when the justice system breaks down, it does give rise to vigilanteism. String them up as you see fit.

He needs to be a headcoach somewhere first and have some success. Like Charles Barkley said on the post-game, not everyone is cut out to be a headcoach. I think he needs a stop up to a lower level D1 job and them get a better job. None of those schools are hiring a guy with no head coaching experience.

Keep it in your mind!

Iona would be a great fit for him, but they might be looking for a more proven head coach.

Regardless, it seems like he's at the point where he has nothing left to prove as an AHC. It's time for him to move on and do bigger and better things.

There was an article recently that said his criminal record was a turn-off for some schools this past off-season. I'm not quite sure I buy it, but we'll see.

Not sure about nothing left to prove, let's at least wait until this tournament/season is over. As of now I don't think he has a single NCAA tournament win as an assistant.

I don't put much stock in wins/losses when thinking about assistants as long as the team was at least good overall. Recruiting and talent development is the biggest part of an assistant's job. Scouting too.

Would be interesting to compare the W/L records of our coaches bases on who had the scout. Or maybe look at performance vs the betting line to account for opponent strength or something.

IIRC.. Kimani was lead guy on Castle.. Thinking he may want to enjoy next year's team before making any moves.

 

[Luna]

I think this year may be better then next year

When Pitino does leave Iona they’ll hire Masiello

Gameday?
Good grief!

Exactly after the Masters is my thought.
