I would agree there are a number of fans who are disenchanted with Mick. I have raised the point before but I think 50% of our fan base loves him (I mean think he is one of the best in the country and wants to give him a lifetime contract--- incidentally most of them post on boards like this, BCJ and on other social sites) and then another 50% are ready to move on. Whenever I am at a game I always seem to be surrounded by people in one or the other camps who end up getting mad at each other at some point.

All this being said, I don't think Mick is going anywhere anytime soon. He has five years left on his contract. I don't know the buyout situation. I do believe Dr. Ono really likes Mick so if the AD was ready to move on I don't know if he would have the ability to pull the trigger.

Personally I am in no hurry to can the guy unless the right candidate became available. I do think there needs to be some changes in the assistant ranks. The same group of guys have been here for most of his tenure and I question their ability to recruit and develop players.

I do not disagree... And I have tended to be in the "pro-Mick" camp even this year. Certainly he is nowhere near being fired. But if UC doesn't make the tournament (step #1) and get out of the first round (step #2), I think you'll see things start getting tense. This team was supposed to be good this year; it was not a "rebuilding" year.

Personally, I think Mick's past performance buys him some wiggle-room. One down year...planned or unplanned...is not the end of the world. But I don't think the rest of the fan base agrees with me.

Not sure who is available in the $600k range.

I think AD Danny White will do what it takes to land a good HC. He gets to put his stamp on the program with this hire.

We have limitations with the budgets. Being realistic basketball is a tough sell in Orlando so risking a huge salary isn't money well spent. We need to focus on stadium improvements with budget funds.

At least your administration will attempt to get a good coach. The ECU administration has no balls when it comes to basketball. So they will just keep hiring more versions of Jeff Lebo.

With the talent that ECU has returning next year I bet that Donnie Tyndall could do good work at ECU. Yes he is a cheating douchebag, but a conference with Larry Brown, Kelvin Sampson, Donnie Jones, Frank Haith and Orlando Antigua (that guy knows where Calipari's bodies are buried) has no room to talk.

RE: AAC coaches on the hot seat
For the teams that may have an opening at the end of the season, who are on a budget, (UCF, Tulane and ECU) someone should give a long look to Steve Masiello. I know about him saying he graduated when he didn’t but the guy can coach. He will be hungry and have something to prove, he learned the game playing for Patino and Tubby Smith and will give you some strong recruiting presence in the NYC market. He’s young at 38, is used to recruiting with less than the best facilities at Manhattan and cheap at $237,000 per year.

Personally I think if UCF is going to make a change he is a perfect fit for your program.

I hope we are able to keep Tim Jankowich on as our head coach after Larry retires. Our last 4 recruits all said Larry is great but they are really coming for Tim. I was unsure about him until I saw him coach while Larry was suspended.

Is he clean? We are under probation until 2017 so we must have a clean coach.

To be honest, I don’t follow Manhattan that closely, but I haven’t heard anything negative about him other than he stated on his resume that he graduated from Kentucky when he never really did. Manhattan put him on suspension until he received his degree which he has and then they reinstated him.

I would think Manhattan did a pretty in-depth background check on him during his suspension before his reinstatement to avoid looking foolish so I would say he’s as clean as any (which may not be saying a lot).

Danny White is NOT going to hire some jabronie for a money sport. His hire will reflect the decision he made in fb.

To even suggest he'd take money out of a coaching salary to allocate to facilities, shows a lack of understanding for how ADs operate. He'll find the money to pay the right coach. ADs don't get anywhere by neglecting a revenue sport.

Now that would be an interesting hire. That was USF's choice until the UK degree came into question

The guy can coach, and the central / south Florida area is one of the few southern markets where a New York City personality works. I can see where he can get NYC kids to come to Orlando very easily and with the core of talent UCF has already (IMO) he’s the kind of coach that can turn UCF around quickly.

Tulane's coach
USF's coach
ECU's coach

all totally suck

I don't even know their names. Sure, I could have looked them up before posting but then again, does it really matter?

You can take Temple's HC off the hot seat. They're 9-3 in conference and tied for 1st.

Coach Dunphy has never been on the hot seat by the Temple administration. However, there is a good chunk of Temple's fan base that is not happy with him for two major reasons - being an average recruiter (at best) and rarely winning in the NCAA tournament. It also does not help that Temple has missed the last 2 NCAA tournaments and looked likely to miss a third until the last couple weeks (they are still clearly on the bubble but things look better than earlier this season).

As other posters have noted, he is a very good gameday coach (which helps make up for his lack of recruiting) and a very good representative of the university.

Coach Dunphy has a contract through 2021 and has no intentions of stepping down or retiring any time soon.

Look, I appreciate you know your program better than I do,but the fact is Temple got f#(ked last year . Your resume was good enough to make the tournament. The man is set to make it this year with plenty of good wins. College basketball as a whole is down,They could go far.
