The program is possibly the worst college basketball program of any relevance in a decent conference in the country. I am scratching my head trying to think of something that can worse that this fucking shitpile.

Several names have been floating around the past few weeks as potential replacements in Chestnut Hill, including Loyola Chicago's Porter Moser, former Michigan coach John Beilein, Michigan assistant coach Howard Eisley, St. Bonaventure's Mark Schmidt, VCU's Mike Rhoades and Saint Mary's head coach Randy Bennett.

To me, Eisley is the basketball version of Hafley. Connections to the NBA, never a head coach, but tremendous upside. I think he would stay longer than Hafley, especially in an ACC where Krzyzewski, Williams, and Boeheim will all be retiring soon.

It’s the NBA. Every coach is on the hot seat each minute they are employed. Coaches are the most discarded commodity in that league. If you have no talent, a great coach can have you battling for the 8th seed. If you have talent, the coach doesn’t matter and usually ignored by the aforementioned talent. I think Stevens is excellent and does a great job with a roster that will never win anything. But, if Jayson Tatum or Jaylen Brown ever get pissed at him for any reason, he’s gone before you can say “5th longest tenure in the NBA”.

Go across the Charles River and hire Harvard coach Tommy Amaker, who checks off EVERY criteria box that Kraft could have in hiring a new coach.
...
If there is a minority issue involved, Amaker, who has been a growing presence in Boston outside of basketball, also checks all the boxes.

So your original point was you speaking out of your ass. Got it.

James Jones is a far better choice than the guy from Vermont.

there is a better chance of your boyfriend coen being named "bc basketball coach for life" than there is sampson getting hired. continued mention of him only makes you look dumber and less informed (a feat i did not think possible)

Couldn’t disagree more. Both are in barely competitive basketball conferences for at least a decade, sure - but one of them has had nothing but 20-win seasons. It is not James Jones.

I have familiarity with Jones' system from Albany and I have had the misfortune of watching a lot of Vermont games in the 50s. Jones yes. Hard pass on Becker.

Fair enough. I have no eye test experience with James Jones, maybe I’ll just defer to you there. The numbers signal Becker to me. I don’t mind low scoring fist fight basketball - works for Tony Bennett, worked for Al

Completely disagree that Eisley and Hafley are similar.
I knew Howard in college. Real nice, down to earth guy. But, he is quieter and more understated than Skinner. Al showed that can work incredibly well, but it’s nothing like Hafley’s persona.
Most importantly, Hafley came up the ranks (before his time in the NFL) being known as an ace recruiter (not just at places like OSU, but at Pitt and Rutgers). Eisley as a recruiter is the number one concern.
Will he stay longer than Hafley? That’s not a question. He wanted the job when he was with the Knicks. Went to Michigan to pad his resume for this job. He has spent more years prepping for the BC job than Hafley will be here. Eisley will be here easily for 10 years if he’s any good.
