AB3 to Steven F. Austin?

[JwUKFan11]

That would suck

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

Tell them to pluck someone from Kansas or Duke.

 

[J-Ryan]

So he’s actually inquiring about that job ? Dang

 

[G-PIP]

If Brooks gets that job, maybe Pope can bring in a top defensive specialist a' la Billy Donovan back in the day.

 

[CatFanInIlliniLand]

I could actually use some good news concerning UK basketball.

For real.

Won't help much if he doesn't bring in more guys that can actually guard

 

[Fox2monk]

That would suck

Yes it would

I’m sure they all want to advance their careers. Get a head gig if you do well and you are pretty set in college ball for a long time making big money.

I would look at Houston’s staff. They are recruiting well now and have been a defensive juggernaut for years now.

Agreed. I’d be very sad to see AB go, but who isn’t looking for a promotion at their job?

Would suck to see him go, but if you aren't losing members of your staff to promotions at other jobs, you probably don't have a very good staff.

On one hand I appreciate the transparency, on the other concentrating on the task at hand, and nothing but the task, doesn't seem to be much of a priority. I don't remember hearing so much about staff and players wanting to jump ship before the conference tournament has even started.

You do not parlay assistant coach job at the University of Kentucky for a gig at Stephen F Austin in this day and age.
You try for a mid major.
You talk some 4 stars struggling to meet expectations to step down and contribute.
Hopefully make an Ncaa tourney or run in NIT and move up to P5.
SFA is Southland conference in Nagodoches. No way to use any recruiting experience there.

Agreed, I wouldn't put any stock into that tweet. He would be taking a pay cut of almost half. His salary at UK for next season will be $825,000+ and Stephen F. Austin's last head coach was making about $425,000.

The Cal era ending is worth 2 solid years of good news for me. Maybe 3.

All we can do is pay them as well as any assistant.

I’m sure if he went they would negotiate to get him over that. Media deals make up the majority of their salary anyway. The base salary for Hubert Davis is 400k. By the time he gets paid by Nike, media deals, and incentives he makes like 5 million a year.
