Next steps

I'm doing an about face too, to some extent, because I'm hearing that Mullin is likely to take the job if offered.  I was dreading a Bobby Hurley or Massielo type of hire.  I am skeptical, but would be at least a bit hopeful, if it was Danny Hurley---who has actually won on a consistent basis---instead of his brother, who hasn't proven anything yet.

Btw, if Mullin comes, Terrence might be on the bench with him.

This should move along pretty quickly. Could have a new coach announced sometime early next week. I expect it to be the all time leading scorer.

In my humble opinion, that would be a major fail.

Is Terrence a plus or minus?

Big plus from what I'm being told.

What is Terrence doing now? I googled him and nothing came up. Just curious.

Guys if Mullin comes here, we have to think he is smart enough to play the game and do what he has to do to win.  He has instant credibility in the tri-state area, especially with the NY High School community.  And he also has credibility nationally, because everyone knows who he is.  His connections and time in the NBA is a major plus to sell kids.  And he will bring in at least one, if not more, really good recruiter, because he is smart enough to do that.  Chris Mullin loves NY and loves this school too much to not give 1000000%.  Will there be a learning curve?  Of course!  Is there a risk as between him and say Danny Hurley (who I also think deserves serious consideration), of course!  But Chris is not taking this job to go about it half-arsed.

I have no inside information whatsoever on this.  But based on what I've read about Mullin, and knowing how fond he is of SJU and New York City, logic dictates that he would only accept this job if he was supremely confident that he would succeed, and that he would fight like hell and do everything possible to ensure that happens








Echoing my sentiments......Mullin will succeed.....He will need recruiters but any major recruit is certain to be impressed by a Hall of Famer who played on the greatest team ever assembled.  Mullin's hiring would be a media event and dramatically increase media exposure in the future.... which will impress recruits as well.

why?

What coach in his right mind wants this job.  Anyone who accepts the job is crazy.  Look at the last 6 coaches we have had since Louie--every one of them has left in disgrace.  This is all due to the Curse of the Redmen because the name change occurred in Mahoney's tenure after his successful 1992-93 season.  Seriously the job has been a coach's graveyard, even for one who was to 2 NIT's and 2 NCAA's after years of abject failure.

For this coaching search, they should watch the Seinfeld episode where George does the opposite of everything he is normally inclined to do.
