Would Ernie Kent get a look?

[troy]

After looking at his bio, it seems that he has had a pretty good career. 300 plus wins, 6 NCAA's, 2 Elite Eights, a .565 career winning percentage. He's from Rockford, Illinois, and his teams play an exciting brand of basketball.

No. Not a chance.

No. Not a chance.

Explain why not?

I would have said no way last week; now he might look pretty good against who seem to be the actual candidates.

Kent's Oregon teams did have some good runs and played entertaining uptempo ball. But his teams seemed wildly inconsistent most of the time (8-23 a few years ago).

Explain why not?

He took the daughter of a booster to a vacation on some island (without the father knowing) and had sex with her.

No thanks.

We just dealt with a fired coach that was "great" at his previous job.

Just a thought. Would we give Mike Davis from UAB a call? He had some really good teams at Indiana and would have some experience recruiting in the midwest...obviously he has built UAB back to an at least respectable program again. I wouldn't mind him at all.

I like Mike Davis, and he can recruit. He did a great job with that Indiana Final Four team. I don't think he got a fair chance to make things work at IU.

I hope we at least take a look or talk about it. He got ran out of town because they wanted Sampson. I would gladly take him though!
