Bobby Knight. Unconfirmed. Overheard at Pete’s Package tonight. Does he coach at Southern Miss now? Asking for Ho Could you imagine if we did though....the publicity would be unreal. People would show up just to see some chairs slung across the arena lol

I know Hawkins told a friend a few days ago that Jeremy has a very short list. I wonder if Alabama blowing up their staff will affect that list. I’ve been hoping for Lenny Acuff but John Pelphrey would probably be a great fit.

I want Hubert Davis!

I want Hubert Davis! 21 years at a D2 school? If he is so great why has he been a D2 coach for 21 years. I don't have a problem with a young succesful D2 coach that is hungry but this hire would be puzzling?

I’ve also heard Acuff mention as possibly going to Tuscaloosa as an assistant if Prohm is hired as HC there. I believe Acuff has been in Huntsville for 21 years because he and his family like the situation they’re in. Either he or his wife have family there, he’s had tons of success, it’s a good school in a great town and he’s only a few years away from a full RSA retirement. At that point he will still have a lot of years of coaching ahead of him. I don’t think he’s been there this long because he can’t go anywhere else. He gets a lot of respect in coaching circles.

No doubt Hubert Davis knows basketball. I would worry a little about his short coaching resume. I’m sure he’s learned a lot where he is but being a head coach is different than being a real good assistant. I wouldn’t hate it if he came. We have to have a coach, a recruiter and an administrator. He could probably do the first two well.

Does not move the needle one bit. Acuff or Davis? Acuff. Davis would be the out-of-the-box choice that would move the needle. Roy Williams connection. UNC connections. They help each other. Carolina would probably show up in Troy one night. They do that.

I would be all about some Lenny Acuff Yawn. Probably a great guy but he does nothing to excite the fan base. 21 years at UAH. Sounds like his kids have grown up, he wants to get paid more and has a few more years left in the Retirement System deal. The guy is as old as me.

Ho was born in 1887, right down the street from the dear old Troy Normal School in it's first year.

We need more than X's and O's. We need someone that would outshine the other Sunbelt Clown coaches, sell the city/regional fans and get the arena full of excitement. Hubert might be one option. There might be others. Acuff seems like a great family man, but is just Phil Cunningham Part II in my eyes.
