OK. Time for some fresh air. Tonight, I share the OU Coach Search Blog Daniel Holdge, the always-knowledgeable, ever-entertaining OKC sports anchor. He slapped a top 5 (“in no particular order”) on KOCO.com. Here we go…
* Buzz Williams
Holdge: “May be too expensive.”
Paper boy: I still think he ends up getting a fat raise from Marquette. Remember, these things never turn out like they’re supposed to.
* Tad Boyle
Holdge: “Basically called the Buffs his dream job when hired.”
Paper boy: Temporary insanity should not be held against him. I really like Boyle. Joe Castiglione has to offer him the job before a mid-major coach. Doesn’t he?
* Lon Kruger
Holdge: “Has an exciting style and would bring plenty of experience.”
Paper boy: Liked this guy a whole lot more before watching his Runnin’ Rebels trip all over themselves in the NCAA.
* Cuonzo Martin
Holdge: “Most people think he will be a big time coach for many years.”
Paper boy: A real possibility five years ago.
* Terry Evans
Holdge: “Problem here is a lack of Division I experience.”
Paper boy: Another problem: He’s honest. He says he really wants the job. The sad truth in this game is that guys who openly talk about jobs are the longest shots to get them.
