ESPN has an article about the possible coaching succession plans for the best WBB programs: linkHere is what they said about Oregon State: In the family: Jonas Chatterton, Oregon State associate head coach. A former assistant at BYU, Utah alum and Salt Lake City native, Chatterton's name is sure to come up whenever longtime BYU coach Jeff Judkins steps aside. But both he and fellow Oregon State associate head coach Brian Holsinger are nearing the fork in the road that all senior assistants at successful major programs face. But it would be the ultimate measure of the stability Rueck brought to a mess of a program if Chatterton takes over. Outsider: Ryan McCarthy, Alaska Anchorage head coach. Oregon State hit the jackpot once by going off the Division I board with Rueck, so why not try again if in need of a successor? Rueck ran a Division III juggernaut at George Fox. McCarthy is in the midst of the same at Division II Alaska Anchorage. His 2019-20 team was 31-2 and ranked No. 4 when the Division II season was called off, and he is 221-36 in eight seasons at the school that competes in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference. Not bad for someone who stepped off the court himself only in 2007. |

I know sites need something to write about during the virus BS but I wasn't aware SR was even remotely considering going anywhere.

Odds are SR will be at OSU for a long time to come. But any good Athletic Director has at least a mental list of who they may want just in case...

Their article, presumably thought up because of the Notre Dame retirement and simultaneous naming of the new head coach, covered I don't know how many top programs (I stopped looking at it after they got to us). As I recall, they had gone through Connecticut, Louisville, Baylor, DePaul, Oregon, and a few others before they got to OSU. Scott is not entering the transfer portal. By the way, if they only allow, say, 5% of capacity to attend sporting events this Fall, will the USC women even be aware that restriction is in place? |

Do you want to bet that the amount in your wallet will determine if you are one of the 5 percent. As usual the little guy gets screwed. |

I have no idea what plans are being discussed. |

First, Rueck isn't going anywhere soon. When he does decide to retire he will leave a program that is strong enough to attract upper echelon d1 coaches. No need to look at d3 coaches.
Second, yes if they decide to only allow in certain percentage of fans the tickets will be at a premium.

Odds are SR will be at OSU for a long time to come. But any good Athletic Director has at least a mental list of who they may want just in case... Agreed. It would appear to take a very special job (UConn?) and salary to compel Rueck to leave a place that is very special to him and his extended family. I believe that Chatterton will be a very good head coach in the right situation. Would have to believe that other D1 programs have inquired about his interest in pursuing a head coach position. I believe that the last time someone posted about Chatterton's salary it was in the $195k annual range, a healthy salary for an associate head coach with a family and young children who seem very happy in Corvallis. OSU will benefit from every year that Chatterton remains in Corvallis. He reps the program extremely well. |

In an interview when he got the OSU job Rueck said specifically that he didn't want to use OSU as a way to get a job like uconn, he wants to make OSU that place. |

In an interview when he got the OSU job Rueck said specifically that he didn't want to use OSU as a way to get a job like uconn, he wants to make OSU that place. A good goal. I'm confident that he has been asked that question numerous times and has crafted a response that gives hope to Beaver Nation that he will retire here. An annual salary of $2+ million could change things when his children get older. There are lots of compelling reasons for Rueck to remain in Corvallis for years. If his teams continue to win consistently here, the offers will continue to come and the attraction/challenge of coaching elsewhere may be very tempting for him. |

It's really hard to know what a 50-year-old man will decide when it comes to career changes and re-locations. But not knowing for sure doesn't mean that you can't take an educated guess!😎
Taking into account that he went to high school in Hillsboro, attended college in Corvallis, landed his first major job in Newberg, and signed up for his current job back in Corvallis, you have to assume he loves Oregon, or that by now he's getting tired of it...
My guess is it's the former....
If Coach were to break away from Corvallis my guess is that it would be because he didn't see eye to eye with his AD, or with the OSU President, and he felt his program was being unfairly short changed.....
The professional men I've known to packed up and left in their 50's were usually at odds with their "boss."
It's hard for me to envision Coach choosing a big city coaching destination such as UW, USC or UCLA.....And the number of true "college towns" that have good WBB programs in western USA is a pretty darn small group to choose among.
Anyway, I'm not exactly sure why I'm even writing this as I try to write about what I do know not what I don't know....
Bottom line: I'd be totally surprised to see Coach take off anywhere in the next 5 years....
GO BEAVS !!🏀

The poaching attempts for Rueck will continue throughout his tenure at OSU and his name will be linked to desirable jobs that become open. If the right offer comes at the right time, he will evaluate it and respond accordingly. Vic Schaefer's reported $2 million per year deal at Texas surprised a lot of Mississippi State fans based upon Schaefer's age (59) and history of success there. For their own future bargaining purposes, successful coaches will never publicly rule out the possibility of leaving for another elite coaching opportunity. The list of other programs that Rueck would consider leaving OSU for would probably be a very short list. |

The end of June the contract will renew and he probably will get a raise. |

The list of other programs that Rueck would consider leaving OSU for would probably be a very short list. Texas has the richest athletic department in the country so when they decide they want someone they make an offer that is difficult to refuse. A year or so ago they offered to double the Oregon softball coaches (Mike White) salary and there was no way Oregon was going to compete with them. I don't care who you are if someone offers to double your salary you have to at least give it serious thought. |
