pokemonster Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Coleman Scott named "interim coach". Interesting. Willie is reporting rumors that the coaching staff is "running amok". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willie is reporting rumors that the coaching staff is "running amok". I (and many other people) called this as the obvious move when Scott went from HC of UNC to an assistant at OK State. It made no sense unless he was promised the HC job soon. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But seems like he tweeted that before the Smith announcement Ahh, I see that now. 1 minute prior to OK State's announcement. So he might've gotten word of the retirement.

VakAttack Posted April 11 Author Share Posted April 11 Just now, pokemonster said: Ahh, I see that now. 1 minute prior to OK State's announcement. So he might've gotten word of the retirement. No. He and Pyles both tweeted about it, but OK State deleted the original Tweet and then sent a new Tweet afterward. Basically, that tweet was after the initial retirement announcement, so I interpret it to be about the new staff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The assistants were taking turns running things jockeying for the vacant position and using each practice as a tryout. I think Monday and Smith were the front runners.

His tweet can easily be interpreted as “someone on the staff is running amok.” But I agree that’s probably not what he meant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1032004 Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 (edited) The interim coach thing is weird though IMO. Why would they even need an interim in the off-season (assuming they won’t take forever to hire someone)? Edited April 11 by 1032004 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dogbone Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 4 minutes ago, Jim L said: Maybe because it is a state institution they have to follow certain procedures to fill a position? My thoughts as well. Probably has to be publicly posted and open for a set amount of time. Coleman didn't leave the head coaching job at UNC without assurances.
