Annual check in here from me...


As it comes down to the end of the year, what coaches are on the hot seat for finding a new home for next season? Any big names to get cut loose this summer?

hofstra stands out from that list. 2011.

There's been murmurs of a possible Tierney stepping down/retirement. But they've been mediocre forever there and there's never been a hint/suggestion he's on the hot seat so it'd have to be something along those lines.

Obviously Breschi's contract status is the biggest question.

Denver will have a head coaching change next season, but has already been announced as Matt Brown will be taking over fro Bill Tierney

Not just a murmer, he announced his retirement before the season started.

I'm sure he is talking about the Hofstra coach, Seth Tierney-- not Bill.

The elder at Denver, the younger at Hofstra.

OSU seat has to be getting hot....

There is no evidence at all to say Hofstra cares about wins and losses. Given that, unless there is some off the field issue I presume Tierney will stay until he decides to leave on his own.

Meyers at OSU?
Daly at Brown?
Breschi at UNC?

Myers just got a contract extension. Daly made the tournament last year. At some point in the next month we’ll find out whether they renewed or will not renew Breschi’s contract

Sounds like there won’t be any big changes this off season.

If your definition of big is B1G/ACC/Ivy then no, extremely unlikely outside of whatever happens with Carolina and who knows there.

I mean, Tierney retiring was major, just didn't happen in the offseason. Guess there's the chance a Danowski or Corrigan joins as they're in that range but doesn't seem like they're showing any inclination.

But the only job approaching the ones we've had in the past decade like Maryland (2010), Virginia (2016), Hopkins (2020), Syracuse (2021) opening that looks like it could is North Carolina and that's really only because they allowed Breschi to enter the season without a new contract.

Hypothetical time. Been thinking about this the last week or so. Let's say North Carolina parts ways with Breschi. Who are the top candidates for that job? I've got a few people in mind but was wondering what others thought.

I get his kids are there but I would think they would want a young up and coming coach.
Would go after Galloway or Richmond Coach.

Chemotti is a Duke grad - i doubt he'd drop richmond to goto UNC.

Is Galloway young enough to wait for Syracuse?

Edit to add: Based on the progress I see this year, he may have to wait a long time.

Mentioned this in another thread but it's more appropriate here.

Petro
Feifs
Seremet
Haus
Galloway
Polley
Moran
Kirwan
Wellner
Georgalas
Mitchell

It's a big enough job that they'd probably be able to at least bring an unexpected big name in to interview. Shay? Tambroni? Perhaps of note, Matt Madalon's brother played at Carolina. Never wise to bet against an Ivy coach leaving for another big job.

Isn't it about time the Bernhardts start getting mentioned for HC jobs?
