Not that we know any of our assistant coaches since our tyrant coach won't let them talk to press but I thought Francis was higher tenured and in a better position to be a head coach. Harriman seems a little too loyal to Fox for my taste.

Frankie Ferrari. Gonna be a great coach one day.
Montgomery is a Larry K fan but he fizzled at the end at Utah, kind of like Tedford here. But Tedford regained his mojo at Fresnek. Would prefer a younger coach with good resumecalfanz said:

Agreed. I'd love to bring in a young coach (steal Gates from Missouri?) that could bring in Krystkowiak as his aged assistant.

Marty Wilson is the tenured former Pepperdine coach but he and Harriman are both similar to Fox.
Andrew Francis is the guy on staff who might actually be good, but would definitely be best for the players.
Why would Gates want to come here?calumnus said:oskidunker said:Montgomery is a Larry K fan but he fizzled at the end at Utah, kind of like Tedford here. But Tedford regained his mojo at Fresnek. Would prefer a younger coach with good resumecalfanz said:

Live in a really nice area and bring glory to his Alma Mater?
(Agree, though. Mizzou usually steals our coaches, not the other way around.)

Steve Nash would be interesting as the HC at Cal. The question would be does he want to recruit? Can he hire a staff that can coach X's and O's and have the recruiting chops to bring Cal back out of this dismal place.
Would love to steal Gates. How much would that cost? Maybe Shantay Legans now. These would not be interim coaches.calumnus said:oskidunker said:Montgomery is a Larry K fan but he fizzled at the end at Utah, kind of like Tedford here. But Tedford regained his mojo at Fresnek.

This is an interesting idea. Burn it all down and start fresh. The season is lost anyway.Big C said:calumnus said:BC Calfan said:

Clearly Francis should be the Interim, unless they wanted to entirely clean house and create a little 15-week coaching laboratory for a guy like Theo.
That's like not stopping the bleeding until there's a doctor present.polarbear said:
There's no point in firing Fox unless Knowlton is given the heave-ho with him out the door. Then we need to spend the money for a proven AD and a proven MBB coach. Otherwise few quality recruits will give us the first look.

We stole Tennessee's coach immediately after taking them to a Sweet 16.

Yes, Knowlton is a clown but the odds of him hiring another disaster are low. ANYONE would be an improvement.
Perhaps he could. But his long extension of Wilcox and his extension of Fox is AD malpractice. It demonstrated extremely poor management skills. (Heck, Knowlton's extension by the Chancellor calls into question her concerns about winning in a P5 conference.)oskidunker said:
Don't agree. Knowlton can hire a good coach. So since Christ won't fire Knowlton you want to keep Fox ? Ok sounds like a plan

He is the same person. If he uses the same brain that created the process that hired Fox and gave Wilcox a six year extension after going 5-7 with a losing record record overall and twice as many conference losses as wins, the brain that dismissed charges of racism and abuse in order to give the swim coach a huge contract, the odds are very high that he would pick yet another disaster.
The only hope is if he is not involved in the process except as a rubber stamp. We need relatively young, knowledgeable basketball alums involved in the selection process.
