I imagine only a select few likely know what Hardt is actually thinking or planning on doing. And I doubt they’ll want to share that information on this forum - if they even post on this forum to begin with.

UVA today scored in the 60s and won by 20, when we score in the 60s we lose by 20.
That should do it for Coach, losing to Duquesne--a team we were 22-1 against in our A10 history--and at home should be the nail in the coffin.
The pressure cooker is only going to get tighter as the losses mount. Players are already on record of saying the mood in the locker room is not good. Parents of players complaining about the negativity. At some point, something is going to crack wide open if the losing continues. It is coming....
Wes Miller – UNC-G
Bob Richey – Furman
Mike Jones – Radford
Chris Fleming – Assistant Nets
Luke Yaklich – Assistant Michigan
Nancy Lieberman – Reigning Champion HC Big 3 League, previous NBA assistant
Russell Turner – HC UC-Irvine
I know 17 has a good list too, I do think we will be somewhat limited as to who will listen. Unless we are offering 1.5 mil/year. I think the above list would have interest - in relation to there current situation.

1. Patrick Beilein
2. Keith Dambrot
3. Wes Miller
4. Ron Sanchez
5. Big splash hire like Gaudio, Greenburg (Greenburg said the other day that he would come back to coaching in the right situation, we might be the right situation)

BS Spider, what happened to Rick Stansbury and Mark Gottfried?
"Big splash" is exactly the wrong strategy.
Also, Dambrot is a ridiculous name. He's at Duquesne, in year 2, with a team of frosh and sophomores that transferred there, and he's a midwest guy.
I like Spider23's list, other than Russell Turner--he's a west coast guy and would be a bad fit geographically -- I think a big piece of success will be success in recruiting areas from where we are likely to draw most of our players, e.g., eastern seaboard.

I think Patrick Beilein is the answer for us. Comes from a smaller school background and understands the challenges at a school like UR, obviously his dad was one of the best coaches ever at UR and would help him some starting out, the Beilein name will help with recruiting, and from what I hear he is a pretty solid coach.
As far as a big splash hire I think that may also be what we need. Our program is in such a dire state right now that we need someone to reinvigorate recruiting and bring some really skilled guys in here that can fix our roster. I think a big splash hire is a good way to do that because recruits will recognize the name.
I like Dambrot too because he has taken Duquesne from nothing to a team on the rise very quickly. He would do even better in two years with UR I think. He had a great record of success at Akron as well which certainly must be respected and I like his style of coaching. He would also help in recruiting just because he has coaching Lebron in high school on his resume'.
Recruiting to me is the biggest thing that needs to be fixed to get us back on the right track. We don't have as many A10 quality players as other schools in this conference and the best way to fix that is a significant uptick in recruiting. So to me we need someone who can get us the Jimmy's and the Joe's and we'll go from there.
Ahhhhhh, I forgot about Becker, definitely would have interest. I will do some googling and may add him. May need to drop Turner. I have a proposal for Mr. Hardt, it's a win win win win win type of scenario.
An eclectic list BSH. A couple names are good. Dambrot has 0 chance as stated by others. Sanchez is in first year at Charlotte. The only retread hire that would be ‘splash’ is Alford and ain’t happening either. Greenberg would be such a colossal failure here it would be hard not turn away so splash in the bad sense. Gaudio I do respect. But he’s like 62 no reason to go there. Take a look at 23’s list.
Turner has east coast connections but I’ve heard he’s a jerk. Maybe we need that tho. His credentials seem ok enough but imo I don’t see him high on list.

I don't care what their name is, if we hire a DII coach after Mooney I will completely lose all remaining respect for the program.
I think Gaudio would be a great hire, I have been saying that for years, He is getting old but not much older than DT was when he took over from Goetz. I'd take 4-5 years of Dino rehabilitating the program, and then handing the keys to a new, younger coach.

It is fine to call this a bad loss, but I think saying we are 22 - 1 against them before this year does not really help your anti-Mooney argument when considering numerous A-10 teams have lost to them more than once the past few years, including St Joe's, St. Bona, Dayton, Rhode Is., and St Louis. Many would look at 22-1 (now 22-2) and say, "wow, we have done better against them than a whole lot of other A-10 teams."
Beating VCU and Davidson last year did not save him from a miserable record either. His total body of work for his career is all you need to look at.
You guys have some interesting lists here.
Anyone every considered Richie McKay at Liberty? I've been following him for a while and he might be getting some new attention after this year. Liberty is doing pretty well.
He comes from the Tony Bennett line of late. Has D1 coaching experience. He might be a great fit.

He is probably getting paid crazy money to coach at liberty by the Falwell's. He would be a good get but doubt he would be leaving for UR.

I would also suspect that he gets paid in cash in large paper bags at Liberty as well. Here Ritchie, just take this, and don't ask questions.
We've hired a revenue sport coach away from Liberty before.
I agree he shouldn't be on the short list.

Actually Tony Bennett is a Wisconsin guy.
Stansbury and Gottfried both have numerous run-ins with the NCAA for shady recruiting. Gottfried led NCSU to four NCAAs in six years, yet was fired. He also got run out of Alabama, if I remember correctly.

I am very intrigued with Becker. Like Nathan Davis, he has kicked A$$ and taken names in conference, wow. But, I do wonder if UVM has some built in advantages vs the rest of the conference? Still, very impressive run. We will chalk up his Gallaudet time as a learning experience. Definitely like his resume at UVM.
I can't believe Manning still has a job. He is 62-81 overall and 21-56 in the ACC in his 5 years at Wake. It is so funny that they fired Dino Gaudio several years ago because he wasn't taking them far enough in the ACC or NCAA tourney. He went 61-31 in 3 seasons with 2 NCAA tourneys. You would think 2 tourneys in 3 seasons would get you a big raise at Wake Forest, not get you fired. Since then, they have suffered through Jeff Bzdelik and Manning.
Counting Bzdelik's 51-76 overall record and 17-51 ACC record, Wake has gone 113-157 overall and 38-107 in the ACC since firing Dino. Whoooops. Think they should have held onto Dino.
Not at all. Wake's AD made it very clear that it was performance-related, and talked about a bad overall record in March, even though they had just advanced to the second round of the NCAA tourney the year he was fired. He also had a real good recruiting class coming in. This might be one of the worst firings ever.
Yeah<, I definitely remember that was the "public" comment, but the undercurrents were distinctly different as I recall. Not saying I'm right, just what I recall.
I recall the same. The fact that Dino has not run a program since then is also eyebrow raising.
