I was just dreaming about one of my favoritie UCA alum coaches, Joe Foley. He is very happy, well paid, and content at UALR. I predict he will win a game in the Big Dance or get to the final 8 in the NIT.
My thoughts on men:
1. James D - still yearns for the big time, he will not be a candidate. 2. Russ Pennell - he gave a commitment to his new employer, he is a man of his word and he will honor that commitment. 3. Rob Flaska - former hog assistant beat Texas Tech when he was head coach at Centenary. You got to be a coach to do that. He loves AR, currently an assistant at Texas State. 4. Wes Flanagan - handsome, cocky, articulate, beautiful wife and family, former UALR assistant head coach, son of a coach, great recruiter. 5. Jeremy Cox - won national JUCO at UAFS, coached with Billy Gillespie at AM and KY, currently at South FL with Heath. 6. Dennis Nutt - former NBA Nutt, now in North Carolina 7. Corliss - class act, humble man, great baller, would he move to Conway?? 8. Mike Newell - mean as a snake, tough as nails, wants to prove he belongs at D1 level, been to the big dance when UALR was in our shoes, whipped two giants, I know about all the reasons why not but big risks often pay big dividends. 9. Many young cocky assistants from major conferences that are "moosed up" and ready to prove they are the man, cut from much the same cloth as our successful "moosed up" coach of the year, Matt Daniels.
Brad Teague will make a great hire. MD will be a great resource in the process.
