The search is about to kick into high gear (or perhaps it has already? hmmm...). There are some interesting candidates we have not profiled here on BTP (Anthony Grant, Mark Turgeon, Kevin Stallings spring to mind) along with some left field options (Seth Greenberg, Vinny Del Negro?) and the home run hires (Miller, Barnes, etc.) that there's no real point in profiling, but we have a solid base now and I'm interested in how everyone here ranks them.
For the purposes of this exercise, assume that each of these guys would accept the job.
As a reminder, here are your options, sorted by current gig (and alphabetically by last name within those categories). My picks below the jump:
Current high major coaches
Mike Brey, Notre Dame
Jeff Capel, Oklahoma
Johnny Dawkins, Stanford
Darrin Horn, South Carolina
Tubby Smith, Minnesota
Current mid-low major coaches
Tommy Amaker, Harvard
Brian Gregory, Dayton
Mike Lonergan, Vermont
Chris Mack, Xavier
Gregg Marshall, Witchita State
Cuonzo Martin, Missouri State
Tim Miles, Colorado State
Chris Mooney, Richmond
Shaka Smart, VCU
Blaine Taylor, ODU
Currently unemployed
Keno Davis
Billy Clyde Gillispie
One man's opinion:
Tier 1 - I'd be very happy
1. Mike Brey
2. Gregg Marshall
3. Tubby
Tier 2 - I'd be happy but also a little scared for one reason or another
4. BILLY CLYDE
5. Chris Mack
6. Blaine Taylor
7. Chris Mooney
Tier 3 - This might work...but I damn sure would not bet on it
8. Darrin Horn (awful late season swoon has dropped him in my eyes)
9. Tommy Amaker
10. Cuonzo Martin (sorry Lee)
11. Jeff Capel
12. Brian Gregory
13. Shaka Smart
14. Tim Miles
15. Mike Lonergan
Tier 4 - Fire Yow!!1!!1!!!
16. Johnny Dawkins
17. Keno (this one was easy after he got fired)
