He GONE (They gone) thread.

Phelps or Doug or Creighton. Whose going first? Are any of them going.


Heard there was supposed to be an announcement from the "Catholic 7" today. Nothing yet. Dunno what that means for Creighton

Doug...still think he goes to the NBA based on his last home game.

Mark Phelps. Gotta make a change. Someone suggested one of the Woodely boys or perhaps someone like Jeff Horner.

Mark goes first. Now discuss.

Keep Mark - need bankable wins.

Doug to the Wizards - crappy team and high taxes. Karma.

Re: He GONE (They gone) thread.

I'll take Doug and Creighton. I am not expecting either to be announced until after the tournament.

I have this gut feeling that Phelps stays. If he goes, I throw everything at Bruce Pearl. The two year postseason ban doesn't matter because its going to take him that long to rebuild the program and that style and the athletes he brings would do very, very well in The Valley.

Drake won't do that, however, and I would expect them to hire either Darian DeVries or Steve Merfeld. There is no way they could sell the lack of experience of Horner and the Woodleys to the fanbase...

The Mayor is doing pretty well down in Ames despite his lack of coaching experience....

Matt Woodley would be an excellent hire for them.

He spent years in front office and scouting departments with the Timberwolves. That's a bit above coaching for 3 years at WDM Valley...

I agree. The Woodley family grew up with my cousins. Great people.

Jeff Horner? Ha...

[domedays]

Re: He GONE (They gone) thread.

How about Darian Devries to replace Phelps? He knows the Mo Valley and he knows coaching at a private school.
Which job offers less security trying to win at Drake or waiting for Mac to get fired after Dougie leaves?

Re: He GONE (They gone) thread.

I wonder if Kirk speraw will get a look

[Born-a-Panther]

Re: He GONE (They gone) thread.

I do always wonder how long Darian wants to remain an assistant coach at Creighton before taking the next step for his career. He's been there for a very long time.

Re: He GONE (They gone) thread.

A distant source of mine (friend of a friend of a friend situation) who is on the Creighton roster said that the team has known for a while now that it's basically a foregone conclusion that Doug will go pro after this year.
I judge this source as being credible, but take it as you will. We will known one way or another in a couple weeks when Creighton loses first round,,, fingers crossed.

Re: He GONE (They gone) thread.

some guys are just lifelong assistants at this level. has he really stood out there?

Re: He GONE (They gone) thread.

Isn't he one of their big recruiters? I thought he had Iowa ties or was their Iowa guy.

Didn't he recruit McDermott out of ames?
