    They're going to get someone WAY, WAY worse than Cronin.

    This might sound crazy, but wouldn't this be a good opportunity for Thad if he really does want to coach again? You could be a hero if you get it to work and if it doesn't, you have built in scapegoats in the administration that has already been called out rather publicly.
    We've come a long way since my bench seat at the Fieldhouse!

    At this point, if he had any interest at all, he'd be hired on the spot and could demand any salary he wanted.

    Thad would be an excellent hire. But it sounds like that's too much of a simple solution for the Johnnies.

    This is a bad look from the Big East when a coach from the MVC and American East conferences are both not interested in what should be a premium spot.

    Matta would be a great hire for them and he could likely turn things around in shorter time than someone less known as a head coach.

    I’m getting tired of hearing people say “Matta would be a great hire” for every job that opens. No he wouldn’t. He has dropfoot and serious nerve damage. Thad is never going to be an elite coach again. Please stop. There’s a reason he isn’t being hired or even contacted by anyone

    He was contacted by at least 3 teams last year.

    And in the context of the St Johns mess, he'd be the best available by far.
