In the globe: Former Vermont coach Tom Brennan, who left coaching five years ago, said, “I left a message for Gene. It’s a dream job. I’d love to get involved.’’

Thoughts on Tom Brennan? getting up there in age, hasn't coached in years, got by on Sorrentine alone (Coppenrath sucks, everyone knows it, I grew up in Vermont and will admit it) and it was America East. However he definitely has the "passion." I remember he used to call opposing coaches on his radio program at like 5 in the morning the day of games.

does "get involved" mean "i want to coach?"

or does "get involved" mean "i'd like to offer my assistance in evaluating potential candidates?"

Tom Brennan seems the perfect age based on GDF's last hire.

Brennan would be worse than Coen... there, I said. But, I'd probably still prefer him to Cooley.

Coen
Brennan
Cooley

But really, I want none of the three at all. I'd rather have Tommy Freaking Amaker than any of those three.

Agreed. Amaker over any of those. Which basically means that I would have just about anyone else on the planet coaching this team than those three names.

Bingo.

Harvard re-upped Amaker.

He was the worst choice ever worse than Cooley.

I would take Nolan Richardson's poop over all of these guys.

Speaking of Nolan Richardson, what is that crazy old man up to these days?

He's 68 years old and looks 88. He is head coach of the Tulsa Shock in the WNBA.

As long as he's not coaching our basketball program. Sorry '74, but hiring a 68 year old man who's a nut is not a good idea. I'm with you for Bobby Knight, but just go hire Gregory if you want 40 minutes of pressing.

EPPS--I know, I was just yanking chains. But I would take him at 98 over ALSLEEP.

Lets wait and all see what HJSHOMO predicts...maybe he beat you to the Gregory pick?

I was watching one of Gene's TV interviews the other day and he looked awfully smug when asked "Have you contacted Nolan Richardson's poop?"

I think something is in the works.
