Who do you want to be the new St. John's Coach- Merged Threads

Three people voted Fred Quartlebaum....REALLY???!?!?!?

RSHF?

Braica, Casey and Coach Q's mom are the three voters for Coach Q.

Pecora probably voted for him too

“Chris Monasch, the athletic director, has been very supportive of Coach Roberts throughout his tenure and he’ll comment when the season’s over as he’s stated. Coach Roberts is on campus today and we’re going to do the Red Storm report.”

Roberts added in a text: “Waiting to see if we get into NIT. Won’t decide until season’s officially over.”

Roberts is 81-100 in six years at the Queens school.

The Post listed Iona’s Kevin Willard, Virginia Tech’s Seth Greenberg, Hofstra’s Tom Pecora and Harvard coach Tommy Amaker as potential targets and said the school was prepared to offer Roberts’ replacement $1.5 million annually for six years.

Sources said neither Rutgers nor St. John’s had reached out yet to Willard.

I don't think Lenn "I love Norm" Robbins prints his article unless he was pretty damned sure.  I think he's gone no matter what, they are just waiting for end of seaosn officially.

Looks like Greenberg is far and away the top choice of Johnny Jungle posters....Dave --- get word to Seth!  He won't even need to buy us pizza! ;-)

I would add Chris Mooney from Richmond on the list. 

I would pick Greenberg though.  Solid track record at a football school.  A friend of mine says he has recruited DC pretty well.  If he is willing to play the game here and hire some NYC assts, i am all for it.  A 2 time ACC coach of the year as well.

Caveat emptor

Lol. Your friend must've confused him with someone else. He's only had one good recruit, Allen, to come from D.C. in seven years at the school. Assuming he makes it back this year, he'll have made The tournament twice in seven years.

If I were you, I wouldn't put an enormous amount of stock into Coach of the Year awards in the ACC. It tends to go to coaches that have exceeded the press' initial low expectations. Roy Williams won the national title last year and dominated the league, but they gave it to Leonard Hamilton. UVA fired Leitao two years after the ACC press voted him Coach of the Year.

He's gonna buy the student section knishes

I'm looking at his wikipedia and it seems he likes to get real involved on campus and interact with the students, trying to get them to support the team.  Something Norm has never tried doing in my two years here, actually the only time I ever really see him on campus is when he's buying his lunch at Marillac or when he's coaching the games.

Good point.  He's competent, but not elite.  I predict he hears an offer from St. John's and VT ups his salary to something comparable; St. John's moves on the Mccaffery and Willard.

As far as the St. John's situation is concerned...sources tell me @HeadHokie Seth Greenberg doesn't believe @stj_basketball can come up w $$

and

The situation that's going to become apparent for @stj_basketball is that coaches view Rutgers as a better gig..

For 1.5M in NY (which, as you know, has a much higher COLA than virtually any other college job), Monasch is not going to be able to get an elite coach, unless it's one on the way up, who can envision the job as a quick rebuilding job.

Do you (or anyone else) know - is the cost of living considered less in New Jersey?  Rutgers is pretty close to NYC, after all.

I dont think it's much different than LI. Maybe houses are a little cheaper

This is going to be interesting.  What stj11 posted from Rothstein's Twitter makes sense.

There's going to be a lot of noise from all the media people centered in NY, but it won't mean this is a hot job at the price... I just hope the committee does their vetting work quickly and quietly without a lot of offers out there that get rejected, like Providence a few years ago.

I know that money will be an issue. I can't speak as to if we have it or not but I know they'll be very frugal in using it.

Houses near Rutgers are cheap compared to LI.

Rutgers still is not NYC. You don't play your games at MSG.  You don't get the juice of st. john's.
