Two articles related to the Texas job. Don't know the track record of these reporters in getting it 'right.'

Crap!! Okay, time for Plan B.

Alabama will apparently have to move forward in its coaching search knowing it will not land the coach reported to be "alone atop" the Tide's wish list.

Marshall is reportedly interested in the job at Texas, which became open when the Longhorns parted ways with longtime coach Rick Barnes.

The news is especially problematic for Alabama considering two other potential candidates, Dayton's Archie Miller and Murray State's Steve Prohm, signed contract extensions with their current teams earlier this week.

Well crapola. Here we go back to my list, again.    


Here is a list of a few coaches worth contacting to see their interest in being Head Coach of Alabama Basketball.

Jay Wright-Villanova age 53  300-150 record-Taken 'Nova to Final Four, 2 Elite 8's, & 4 Sweet 16's
CON: He's a Villanova grad and may not want to leave. Plus, he has the program in high gear & is 22-2 now & #6 in country.

Archie Miller-Dayton age 36 79-41 in 4th season at Dayton-Been to 1 Elite 8. Currently, 18-5 on season. Brother of Sean Miller of Univ. Arizona BB HC.
CON: Has contract through 2019. Also, been HC only 4 years but father was BB coach and brother successful.

Mike Jones-Radford age 49. In 4th year as HC with overall record of 41-59. Each year has shown improvement in record, 6-16, 13-19, 22-13, & 18-8 right now.
CON: HUGE gamble & doubt we are that desperate.

Michael White-La. Tech age 37. 4th year coach 91-36, 17-5 this year. Father AD @ Duke. White played at Ole Miss.
CON: Coaches in Conference USA & never made NCAA.

Tim Cluess-Iona age 55. Been a winner at 2 different schools. Overall 230-84 (.732%). 110-51 Iona & 19-6 now.
CON: From Queens, NY & may not want to go South.

Ben Jacobson-Northern Iowa age 44. 9th year as coach of NIU. 189-103 record with 2 NCAA Tourneys.        
23-2 this year.
CON: From N. Dakota & may not want to go South. Also, could be in demand after this year.

LeVelle Moton-North Carolina Central age 40. 99-51 in 5th year & every year has improved. 17-6 now.
CON: Not sure.

Ben Howland-unemployed since 2013, age 57. Former UCLA coach. Lots of HC experience, 399-208 overall, 233-107 @ UCLA. Ten years at UCLA with 7 NCAA's, including 3 Final Four's.
CON: Why is he still unemployed, nobody knows. Does he still have the fire & were there problems at UCLA?  HIRED BY MISS. STATE

Steve Prohm-Murray State age 40. 93-27 in 4 years, 21-4 now. Graduate of Alabama & served as student assistant coach. A fascinating & intriguing choice for Tide coach.
CON: Only 4 years as head coach.


There are other coaches who could be considered, this is a starters list. The one's I would consider strongly are:

Archie Miller
Tim Clues
Ben Howland (if no skeletons from UCLA)
Steve Prohm

This isn't over yet.  No guarantee that UTX offers their job to Marshall.  Maybe high probability but no guarantee.  Then Marshall could be in a mess depending just how he blew off Bama.  Would Bama still want him?

I still don't think Archie Miller's new contract at Dayton is an insurmountable obstacle.

And does Marshall really want to go to Texas where he will not have control?

No...

I almost feel like Battle will hire a coach that no one has even thought of yet... time will tell I suppose...

[ricky023]

I wonder if we will have a coach come BB season with all the egg on face, and lost our best bet, type reporting? Who would want to come to a school who wants winners? I can say this for myself if someone comes for the money i don't want them! If they want to come to win BB games and make a strong program I want them. I thought Alabama would have coaches calling us to get such a prestigious job. Boy i was fooled! RTR!

[McBaman]

If this report is true (link below) then, like I said a couple of posts earlier, this isn't over.

Sooooooo.... if UTX does hire Shaka, where does that leave Marshall ??  He's already told Bama he's not interested in coming here.

This is gonna be a real test of CBB's executive recruiting skills.

If Marshall said he wasn't interested, then we should be actively be looking elsewhere. Marshall had his chance with us.

Can't believe everything you read in the press, or on the internet.
