Im sure DMACC's coach is looking to move up, hell lets give it a shot :biggrin:

It kinda worked for KState....albeit he was a high school coach. Maybe we should have made a play for a coach Sullivan and gotten Barnes in a pkg deal.

Dayton coach? Why would we go after another mid major coach?

Dayton really isnt a mid major, the atlantic ten is pretty close to a major conference as it gets. Dayton is flat out getting it done right now, and the are getting some top talent that most power conference schools would love to have. If this is a realistic option, we need to look into it.

Ya I doubt getting Sullivan just so we can have Barnes for a year would end up much better than where were at. But watching him for a year in a Clone jersey woulda been fun

So A 10 = Mo Valley.

Again...why go after another non major conf coach?

I likey your name RhoadsRage.... maybe RhoadRage would work better but either way nice work

Thanks. You get the idea I was goin for but wanted to include coach's full name.
Anybody have an opinion on Melvin Ejim?? If you haven't seen this kid, go to youtube and search Melvin Ejim Iowa State. Kid looks good to me as long as he can perform the same against Big XII competition!! Maybe we should keep Mac on as a recruiter but get someone else for in-game coaching decisions AND motivational speeches!!! NOT HIS FORTE!!! Leave that to coach Rhoads please and stop stealing his lines in the locker room lol!!!

I really think that if DMac is to part ways, we should keep D-Rob, he can recruit the chicago area well, possibly make him head Coach.
Thoughts?

Not real familiar with the recruiting aspect of the program. Has D-Rob been the one getting our good talent lately? If so.....I say HELL YEAH!!!

Yes which brings another point...
Who is out there that has a fairly well known name, not a sexy hire but someone like Rhoads.

After the next couple of years of Mcd no one, but we have no choice. We will be looking up from 10th place hopefully

Larry Eustachy? :jimlad:

But seriously though, if it came down to him or MacD; I'd take him back....although I doubt he'd ever come back!

If we were to go the assistant route, he would be very high on my list. Though I don't really want to hire an assistant, would rather stick with Mac for another year.
