Possible UW Hires if the rumor is true
The other consideration I think is insane is the $ amount thrown around needing to land a good coach. They will be able to land a very good coach for between $1.5-2 Million(not the rumored 3+ that I see). I could see UW cherry picking an assistant to save $, but picking who would leave in the assistant world is much harder to gauge. So I'll stick to current HC's.
Unicorns
Gregg Marshall - Zero % chance this happens. He is making around $3-3.5M in Wichita. To even sniff that amount at UW he'd need closer to 5 a year. Not to mention his teams have made deep runs into the NCAA. What is the incentive to move? There isn't one. Move on
Archie Miller - Paid around $700k but in Dayton and can't see any reason he would consider UW. There will be plenty of Midwest/East Coast teams that will need a coach and the only appeal I can see is battling his brother. Outside of that, moving to seattle for around the same pay(with cost of living) seems quite unlikely.
More likely
Eric Musselman - A longstanding NBA guy who went to college and has had a lot of success at Nevada. He's a west coast guy, has shown he can win and UW would be an obvious promotion. Negative is if he wants to stay in college after being a long time NBA coach.
Leon Rice - Continues to do well at Boise State with much less talent than would happen at UW. It would be a raise, as well as a promotion to go to the pac12. He's a NW guy who looks to be a long standing college coach. Obviously it would be odd to have multiple Boise state coaches, but the first one is working out.
Russell Turner - UC Irvine isn't exactly the most dominate ever, but he has shown a decent amount of promise and likely would be gone other than family connect to UC Irvine. UW can offer the medical facilities to entice his wife.
David Richman - Long standing at NDSU. Not exactly a sexy hire, but an obvious promotion for him and has shown promise in his limited time as a head coach.
Cam Dollar - Lazy hire, yes. But if you're looking for someone who is ingrained locally with player and coaches he is a consideration(not a good reason or hire). Seattle U hasn't exactly ripped the doors off the world in his tenure in the WAC. No idea why anyone would think he would excel at the next level.
Paul Weir - Only one year at NMSU, however it's an obvious upgrade from his current position. He doesn't have a lot of seasoning and it's a gamble but could come on the cheap compared to others.
Someone internal - This is hands down fucking insanity, but a reality. Coach Chil has been heralded for his recruiting. I have no idea what that means to actual coaching b/c he's been apart of the last 6 years. It also should be noted that outside of the diamonds that UW has been able to land, 80% of the roster shouldn't be playing major minutes in pac12 basketball so his recruiting can't be that great. The rest of the staff has no business being given the keys to this program yet.
I fear there will be some sort of more to placate the next recruiting class vs looking to the next 5+ years. If romar is the guy all the doogs say, then he would talk to incoming guys and tell them to stick with UW. If they don't, so be it. I'd like to see Leon or Musselman with a real toss up to both. Leon has more long standing success at a program not exactly known for dominance. While musselman has NBA credibility that so many Doogs absolutely love to glam onto. Musselman is also a very good defensive coach and more of a complete rebuke of the lazy era we've become used to. I'd love to see whomever is hired keep Will and possibly bring on B-roy as the last assistant. Both can work their way up rather than the bullshit Doog fans are saying about handing over the program to a High School coach.
Gun to the head i'd take musselman all reality considered and hope he's more like Larry K and wants to be in college now.
Who you all got on the list as far as options?

Jesus Christ - you put Cameron Dollar on that list? Are you fucking kidding?
Just hire Jerome Collins if you want to do stupid shit.
At least you admit it's a lazy hire.

Unfuckingbelievably dumb list. Sorry.

I'd be fine with Coach K or Bill Self. Those are my main targets. If not them, I'd be ok with Phil Jackson but I think it's unlikely he'd come back to coaching. A better NBA prospect would be either Danny Ainge or Luke Walton

I think this job is more desirable than you are giving credit for. Look at the number of high profiled basketball players that come out of the northwest. At this point I would take almost anyone than romar but to act like certain coaches wouldn't have interest from other schools makes zero sense. If they truly don't have interests fine but the reason listed don't make sense other than Marshall making 3.1 mill. Also in your salary doesn't include bonuses and other pay from deals with whoever there associated with like Nike or adidas. This is pretty major for some coaches.
Romar ranks about 30th without other pay and bonuses a new coach would probably get paid in the top 20 so Archie would get a significant pay raise that would not balance out with cost of living.
Few is pretty rare but he has a winning program in spokane which is a shithole(I live here) with terrible local basketball talent. Any quality coach can go to uw with the resources and be very successful. -

Relax, guys. He's just throwing out names, including ones he knows people will talk about but doesn't himself endorse. I, myself, would go after the same two guys. I've steadily been impressed with Rice at Boise. Nobody gives a shit about their basketball team and he's forced to bring in a bunch of projects who'd plunger our "highly ranked" pussies. Only thing is he's from the Mark Few tree. But double his pay and I'm sure it's not much of an issue.FreeChavez said:There is a lot a hope from the rumor that Romar will get fired and I thought I'd take a look at some of the possible options. First you have to consider that the pac 12 hasn't exactly been a great area for poaching top notch coaches. ASU ended up with Hurley, USC with Enfield, Cal with Cuanzo, and OSU with Tinkle. Larry K was a failed NBA guy who was now trying to battle back in college after success at Montana. UCLA for all it's big chops was able to hire New Mexico's finest? We? should temper the thoughts that UW is getting a big name.

I've always thought of Musselman as boring but he obviously brings league cred and what he's done with the Nevada squad is pretty damn impressive. This is where I'd focus my resources. I think it would be a decently high-ceiling hire...he's not going to win natties...with a pretty high bottom, as well. At the least I see him putting fundamentally sound, unspectacular teams on the floor. And seeing as I think I'll probably nut my pants the next time we? run a proper inbounds play, that works fine for now.
I also read an article last night...pretty sure it was Huard's?...but it mentioned sloppy tits would owe Romar $3mil through 2020 as if that would be a serious obstacle. I hope Brock is just throwing shit at the wall here. If we? are scared to fire a coach who's missed his goal 6 years in a row and finishes 11th in conference with the #1 overall pick because he's owed $750k annually for 4 years, just close the fucking program down already
