Which young coach trying to build a resume and career, would risk it working for Alleva.

I'm afraid you have a valid point. I have no answer for you.

Thank you. I looked at all of them when I made my list, but I wasn't as impressed with them as I was with the guys on my list. I bet I looked through 50 coaches/asst coaches.. lol

I wouldn't have a problem with any on my list, including Oats. IF I were to make a personal choice from my list, it would be Steve Forbes.

He coached under Marshall with Haier. Coached under Bruce Pearl. He's had a stop in La. He's made a dramatic difference whenever he's been given the HC spot:


1995–98 Barton County Community College 68–28 .708%

2011–12 Northwest Florida State 32–2 11–1 1st NJCAA DI National Runner-Up
2012–13 Northwest Florida State 30–4 11–1 1st
NJCAA DI National Runner-Up

2015-19 East Tenn State 100-39 .719%
Vegas 16 Semi finals
NCAA First Round
CIT First Round

Norman Dale

If this is anything like the 2016 football search, this is whats going on upstairs:

Hmmm, the team is winning. We don't want a total rebuild...How many games does this Tony Benford guy have to win to be named the head coach... If he makes a final 4? sweet 16? wins a tournament game? that hasn't been done in quite a while, Maybe he's the answer. Maybe we'll try Coach K and Calipari first, and then he can be our fall back plan. Players love him. He loves LSU. Probably his dream job. Would save us the hassle of a legit coaching search...wonder what his binder looks like...
