Someone posed a question about guessing our next coach. Full disclosure, I have no clue, but I did pull up a list of all of the D1 coaches and weed out the following.
– Less than 3rd season at school
– Not been at same school more than 7 years
– at least a modicom of success (including current year)
The list is much shorter than I imagined only using these criteria.

Mid-Majors
Archie Miller(38): 6 years @ Dayton Flyers
Earl Grant(40): 3 years @ Charleston Cougars
Dan Muller(40): 5 years @ Illinois State Redbirds
Pat Kelsey(41): 5 years @ Winthrop Eagles
Dan Hurley(43): 5 years @ Rhode Island Rams
Kevin Keatts(44): 3 years @ UNC Wilmington Seahawks

There are surely folks on here that we wouldn’t want or wouldn’t want us, but using tenure and a measurement of success GREATLY weeds out the number of head coaches in our target pool. Interesting exercise anyway.
