Holtmann fired
- Thread starter Zissou87
- Start date
14 million to get rid of him and supposedly the AD wants Sean Miller as next HC
It was stated many many times on this forum that Tubbys offense was like watching paint dry.
You aren't going to embarrass anyone...sh*t man, people embarrass themselves everyday on this board.
I know I wrote a post about CH at some point last year or maybe after St. Peters. IIRC it was more about if Cal left and we couldn't get our pick of litter, who do we go after.
Is what it is. There have been great coaches fired and sh*tty coaches fired. Holtmann did some good stuff at OSU, just wasn't enough.
Holtmann mostly made the tournament but never got past the round of 32 in 5 seasons (2020 tournament cancelled) He had double digit losses in every year except year one, when he had 9 losses. After this first year, his best finish in the conference was tied for 4th. Other years he finished 5th, 5th, 8th and 13th. He was headed for another bad season this year. So, my question is: What good stuff are you referring to? Serious question!
Was ranked #1 at one pt IIRC. Took Butler to Sweet 16. 2nd in conference first year. All those things are good at OSU.
Again, appreciate the context. When I look back (which I did) at my post, in typical RR fashion, no one can read....lol. I'm not talking about you btw.
So the above "are some good things" but I agree he didn't necessarily meet expectations.
I dunno if you’re talking about me, I may have at one time but I don’t think it was recently. I’ve never been enamored with the dude. I’m more on the Oats, Drew side of things with Hurley proving to be the best possible hire as of now.
Well Cronin has been to 2 sweet sixteens and a final 4 the last three seasons. John Calipari has ONE win in the ncaa tournament the last three seasons so………..

Cal would be perfect for that fanbase. Pride and arrogance personified
That's what I was thinking. Headstart on going after a big target before anyone else can. Is there a bigger target for them in college basketball than Calipari? Can't get much bigger with all of the retired coaches in recent years. It's either go after Cal or an up and comer. I think Cal sees the writing on the wall like Tubby did and will either retire or take the first bigger job that will come after him.
Not at all. I was agreeing with your wish that the Holtmann talk was over now.
😎, I didn’t think so but I said some dumb stuff long ago lol. I’m sure everyone on here for a long time has though. I did the search and I believe I know who you were referring to at least from one I found.

At first I though the whole idea of Cal to OSU was just a pipe dream. But, the more I've thought about it, the more it makes sense. Cal could go there and get their fanbase excited again, make a ton of money and restore his reputation before retiring.
I know I lost my mojo in my last job so I left and accepted another position. It was a win/win for everyone. I am currently working with a one year contract but it will definitely be extended.
Haha. I laugh at myself more than anyone. Some can’t so no need to call anyone out.
Yeah I generally think bringing up really old threads is dumb, outside of a couple instances of real stupidity or arrogance I wouldn’t do it or think it’s needed. Like NCfaninKy who bragged about his wife who turned out to be totally fake.
For some reason he never posts over here anymore, lmao !
That’s false. They already hired Colliers replacement.
Butler stays in the Bulldog family with new athletic director hire
One former Butler basketball player is replacing another as the school's new athletic director.

Cal and his staunchest supporters do not recognize that Cal is burnt out at Kentucky.
It happens to all of us. He has outstayed his welcome. He doesn't even want to be here right now, he just can't walk away from his ego and that huge paycheck. I hope he comes to his senses sooner rather than later. It is only going to get worse for everyone involved with UK basketball, fans, players, coaches, media........families.
Cal needs a fresh start somewhere and so does UK.
Ohio State coaching candidates: Sean Miller, Nate Oats, Mick Cronin among options to replace Chris Holtmann
Here are a few possible targets the Buckeyes might look at in their search to replace Holtmann

I forgot OSU had hired Bjork as AD.
That is the dude that hired Stoops at A&M.
Maybe there is hope.....
The problem is, and what I said in a round about way in a prior post, OSU will have to pay 33 million plus 10 million a year to find out if Cal needs a fresh start or if he is just washed up all together. I believe this is all wishful thinking, and we are stuck with him until his buyout is a little more manageable.
Oh, I agree, totally.
Cal isn't going anywhere because he has nowhere to go.
Period.
