Names for Duquesne:Jeff Boals,Mike Rhoades, Al Skinner, Keno Davis, Darrin Horn, Steve Roccaforte, Orlando Antigua, Andy Toole & Mike Dunlap

Duquesne... I don't think so

 

[Piney]

Also shocked. Maybe they saw the TCU guy as a longer-term coach who wouldn't use OU as a stepping stone.

I guess... especially since he was at Kent State for 6 years. I think I might just be shocked at how much they are paying him... 600k???

 

[darbypitcher22]

Can't see him going to Duquesne... unless he's hell bent on being a head coach

 

[korchiki]

He is a candidate for Miami (OH), as is Dickerson...

 

[sparcboxbuck]

Just shocked... shocked...

Who ever made this decision must also be handling the current admissions standards as well. If you don't want to be little brother in the classroom, keep admission standards high... if you don't want to be little brother on the BB court, don't hire someone who is running away from competing in the B12...

Disclosure: "you don't want to be..." includes me as I own degrees from OU as well.

Just sayin Hope this does not come true because I have an idea who might go after the vacancy

Ohio University's Jim Christian is a serious candidate at BC, multiple sources told ESPN. In fact, may be the frontrunner.

From what I've heard, Christian is running #2 behind Pat Skerry, Towson coach

Source: Poor, poor BC insiders

Just looked at Skerry's bio now; 2011-2013 Towson went 1-31 in his first year, and in 2013-2014 he went 25-10....that's impressive

Looks like Boals will be staying at Ohio State, or should I say will not be hired by Ohio University... Only looking for current or former head coaches. No assistants.

That is pretty down on their part. I think getting an assistant from my big-time program would be just as good as getting some HC's from a high level mid-program.
