Did we hire a coach yet today?

[twballgame9]

3/10/2021 - no

there's no pleasing you assholes...

"wait until evening"

"it's 11 am - where is my update of bc coaches, bitcoin prices, links to pictures of penii, and condescension from a northeastern night school grad?"

"mark few would suck. he's only good because his league is bad"

You started this gimmick. Sorry it took on a life of its own. How is the Holmes trial going?

Speaking of gimmicks, open the comments section Cowardly Lion.

Who is it, scoop?

Is it Cleveland steamer?

[Corporal Funishment]

Who cares about who they hired? (Meatballs! Meatballs! Meatballs!)

How will this affect the updating of this thread?

3/11/2021 - maybe, although details are sketchy. further insight later, as we know more about this, the number of domestic deaths from covid 19, the current price of bitcoin and whatever else apple news deems as something we would find readable as clickbait

nope - fuck it, i haven't read anything so i am changing the answer back to "no"

Dooder's post (along with the lack of updates from AOL on the results of Georgia's elections) means this thread is just begging to be meatbaum'd.

[TobaccoRoadEagle]

3/12/2021 - no.

gates likely won't be announced until he shows what a good coach he is against a 2 - 3 seed by winning a moral victory and beating the overly bloated spread

[TobaccoRoadEagle]

3/13/2021 - no

3/14/21 - no

Colonial Athletic Association. 1 NCAA appearance.

He is much younger. Thank you Kraft for not picking Coen who would have been the OBVIOUS CAA choice.

Owned Coen in the 2018 CAA final. Another classic NEU choke.

Still, this sucks.

It does.

If Kraft was going to pick Grant, then he might as well have picked Coen. Coen is the most successful CAA coach and maybe that is not saying much, but whatever. I'm happy we can keep Coen for the rest of his career now.

That said, as a BC fan, I hope that Grant gives you guys a national championship.

People really like the guy at CofC. It’s not the total disaster of Jim Christian but this isn’t an inspired hire.

[DavidGordonsFoot]

They paid a search firm to hire a guy Kraft originally wanted to hire at Temple. Typical.

I'll give Grant a chance because of my stupid loyalty to this program but he just went 9-10. I know it was a fugazi season, but still, makes no sense.

[twballgame9]

I'll give the guy a shot but not much to be excited about here. And since when is coaching at Clemson a plus in basketball?

I was more impressed with the groundwork he laid at Winthrop that appears to have directly led (15 years later) to their 24-1 season this year.

They hired the search firm to find candidates as much as they fired Christian weeks ago to get an early jump on the hiring process.

[TobaccoRoadEagle]

yes

i stand by my original answer. bc will start paying someone, but i would not really say we hired a coach

best of luck to eddie and getting us to rock down to electic avenue again... but i'm not holding my breath

[sader87]

Did Schmidt at Bonnies express interest in the BC job?

[TobaccoRoadEagle]

Did Schmidt at Bonnies express interest in the BC job?

10 years ago - yes.

5 years ago - yes.

present day - not so much. why would he move backwards when he likely has better opportunities with better fans in better places

[sader87]

Olean, NY > Boston...whodathunkit???

[TobaccoRoadEagle]

Olean, NY > Boston...whodathunkit???

meaning he can get hired somewhere better than olean and/or boston when his team is eliminated from indiana if he would like to

In terms of splash this hire makes the potential Gates hire look like a hydrogen bomb explosion over the Pacific. I didn’t think our search could possibly get any less imaginative.

I wish the answer to this thread title was still no. Christ.

You may not like the hire, but Earl Grant is as imaginative as it could possibly get. No one had him on the radar. Though, kudos to the PennLive who at least mentioned him in their article of potential candidates for the PSU job (which apparently had the same criteria/restraints).
