Tennessee may be next on the list if they fire Donnie Tyndall.

JustNeedMe81 · Mar 26, 2015

We'll be adding Tennessee to the list soon...

Donnie Tyndall sounds like a real bright guy...

@Ben_Fred: Termination letter: Tyndall admitted to deleting emails in November that were subject of NCAA questioning

TitleWave · Mar 27, 2015

The Penn hire is interesting for anybody here who contends that Amaker of Harvard (by way of a downward career trajectory at Seton Hall and Michigan) might be able to do anything besides recruit to his advantage and twiddle his thumbs on an Ivy League sideline. Donahue was a terrific at Cornell, not so much upon his "promotion" (and subsequent dismissal) at BC.

Oops. Misinformed as below.

And by the way, Boston College has been overlooked above as one of the schools that's fired their coach (Donahue) and yet to name a new coach (with Amaker said to be the favorite for the job from Day 1 - but now that two weeks have passed without him being named, maybe BC has come to their senses too).

BC does not show up on any list that I have found. On their website their coach is listed as Jim Christian.

Yep, added him this morning. I was just waiting until it was official even though the handwriting was on the wall yesterday afternoon.

Oops x 2 - misinformed as below.

Did the Brannen two-step (interim gig) - Step one, coach a game; Step two, step down so a new coach can be hired.

Just for verification: Link: Bye-bye BC for Donahue

Did you check the date of that article? March 18, 2014.

Big mea culpa - was so plugged into Donahue's recent hire by Penn that it went right past me. Thanks for gently wiping the egg off my face.

imauafan · Mar 27, 2015

Just thought I would throw this out there:

GoodmanESPN Jeff Goodman
Have to wonder if Tennessee will make another run at Louisiana Tech's Mike White. He turned it down a year ago.

RTR91 · Mar 27, 2015

Steve Prohm signed an extension with Murray State today. Not that it really matters if a bigger school comes calling.

imauafan · Mar 27, 2015

Another job opens up....

ESPNDanaOneil Dana O'Neil
St Johns announces Steve Lavin out as head coach. Mutually agree to part ways

GoodmanESPN Jeff Goodman
Look for Dan Hurley to be in the mix at St. John's, source told ESPN.

jeffborzello Jeff Borzello
Richard Pitino could try to get in at St. John's (as well as Tennessee).

jeffborzello Jeff Borzello
Chris Mullin will be another candidate for St. John's, I would imagine. Alums love him.

GoodmanESPN Jeff Goodman
Another name to keep an eye on for St. John's: Steve Masiello.

imauafan · Mar 27, 2015

Two names that I've heard in connection to the Tennessee job are Michael White and Richard Pitino. I think they may have wanted White last year and he rejected them for whatever reason (not sure if that's true or no). Apparently Pitino is desperate to get out of Minnesota because his name is mentioned with almost every opening out there.

Ldlane · Mar 27, 2015

I can't remember another year where Coaches have been fired in such a mass.

imauafan · Mar 27, 2015

One more vacancy filled, another on opens up.

GoodmanESPN Jeff Goodman
Bradley announces it has hired Green Bay coach Brian Wardle. Love the hire.

imauafan · Mar 28, 2015

And yet another one-job-filled-another-opened:

GoodmanESPN Jeff Goodman
Citadel has hired VMI coach Duggar Baucom, sources told ESPN.

imauafan · Mar 28, 2015

ESPN is reporting it so I will go ahead and add Texas to the list. I was hoping they would hold off until Monday which I think would have given us time to wrap up Marshall. Starting to get nervous about Marshall now.

Two coaches interested in the Texas opening and who will be in the mix to replace Barnes are Wichita State's Gregg Marshall and VCU's Shaka Smart, according to sources.

alabama mike1 · Mar 28, 2015

Barnes is a former Bama assistant and did a pretty good job at a football mad college...
