What have you done for me lately? There is no security for a college coach. They do get paid well for what they do. College sports isn't what it used to be.

Not surprising. He has talent, and just not getting it done. He had some good years, but in retrospect, it shouldn't have been hard to win with 3 players that would stick in the NBA (he got them of course, but the assumption is that he could sustain better success without needing that level of talent). WT has consistently outcoached him in their matchups, IMO (perhaps more than any other coach in conference).

I'm surprised that it was after this weird, warped Covid season. I would have thought that any coach that wasn't cut-and-dried *bad* would get the benefit of the doubt this season.

If Tinkle hadn’t performed so well this year, might we have tried to land him?

If Tinkle hadn’t performed so well this year, might we have tried to land him? Forget this year, Tinkle arguably performed as well as Coach K both of the last two years. It would have been an expensive sideways move. Considering how poorly the Utes season turned out, it looks as though Coach K's stock is probably not a rising one. I don't think he'll be at the top of most major conference school's list this off season. |

Prediction: He'll land at a decent mid-major, have a few 20+ win seasons and get a tourney berth or two, then he'll be back in a major conference.
Set a reminder in your calendar to check on this in six years.

What have you done for me lately? There is no security for a college coach. They do get paid well for what they do. College sports isn't what it used to be. Yes - while your employment situation can be quite "fluid", for the few that land these gigs the pay scales are such that with some prudent living you should "land on your feet". Larry has been making multi-million dollar per year salaries for likely a few years of his 9 year NBA player career, some of his NBA coaching career, and much of his Utah coaching career. That means he could have squirreled away 20 million dollars as a 56 year old..... But (back to your point) - I didn't even know that he was on the proverbial "hot seat" (perhaps muted by the pandemic)........seems like there is less warning in college coaching these days. Go Beavers!! |

Set a reminder in your calendar to check on this in six years. Agree - he has an attractive resume (storied mid-major career as a player (his number is retired at UofM), NBA player, NBA assistant, college coach). He could also ponder a gig as an NBA assistant again. Or, per my prior post, he could have lived frugally and be pondering buying a property in the Bitterroot valley and fishing a lot (NOTE - likely not, the "fire" that propels these folks to these heights doesn't extinguish itself just because a new AD wants to put their stamp on their department). Go Beavers! |
