Fully agree...that could be a quick hire that will happen quick enough to keep a lot of our staff and in return our recruits...if we wait then it will set us back about 3 years


he'd take it too...I'm on the Dale Layer train
This one makes the most sense to me.
Dale Layer FTW!

He's Irish and curses like he is as well



The Dale Layer has legs...promise you it has serious legs



If we try to get someone that is unfamiliar with LU and Lynchburg you bring them in, tour them around, try to sell them on the school then try to sell them on the city, then try to sell them on the school system for the kids blah blah blah blah Dale Layer doesnt have to be sold on anything...he knows what we are and that's why he wants back...this can be a quick hire and keep a lot of the staff in place thus meaning we keep recruits that they have been working on (Soko is gone).


this would be a quick hire but in no means a rash decision...it would be very very smart...and who's to say HE wouldnt have a few players that were on the brink of being Big East type players that would do well here

I could be way off on this one, and HMO will correct me if I am- but were'nt we pretty close w/ Cooper (from Auburn???) last time around?

I'll look it up to see if its on here somewhere.

Could've sworn that was the case before RMK

EDIT: yup- I was right: here's the thread

I think last time we were looking to...for the lack of a better word, diversify. Not that Cooper isn't a good candidate, but I think we'll likely broaden our search this time around.

From that thread 2 years ago...

I think you really want someone who WANTS to come here and coach...as opposed to someone who would just use this as a couple of years.
:shock:

That may be one of the dumbest things ever written on this board. Yeah, we're in a bad spot, but we're in nowhere near as bad of a spot as we were in a few years ago.

Agree


I guess you could say in this bad spot we're pretty much equal with WU basketball...in fact some at WU right now would consider us in a better spot b/c right now we have more of a coach then they do

Really? You don't even have a coach.

Ironic isnt it? Just look at our list we come up with...it will cut down on the leg work you guys will have to do after next season

You have a point. The Randy Peales of the world are clearly out of our reach.

I would rather slam my balls in a car door than have him attempt to coach us. My heart can't take losing 10 point leads in the final two minutes.
