AuburnAlumFromThe423 84 Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 I apologize if I am repeating this name, for I have not thoroughly looked through all of these posts. I am not even sure if this coach is feasibly attainable with buyouts, etc., but what about Wes Moore at NC State? He has the Lady ‘pack as a #1 seed in the tournament. Living in Chattanooga, people I know who have strong ties to UTC said he was the best coach of any program in school history. Now, he has made NCSU relevant in the ACC. I feel like he could have strong interest with a program in the SEC having coached in Tennessee for several years, but then again I don’t know of his contract specifics, and he may well be very happy in Raleigh. Whoever we get is going to have a Tony Barbee-esque mess to clean up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoever we get is going to have a Tony Barbee-esque mess to clean up! He is a great coach. Im not sure that he would want to move though. He isn't a spring chicken and I doubt we would pay much more than what he is making now. His current salary is around $800,000 He did interview for the Tennessee job when it came open, but he was given a new 6 year deal last year and NC State was a #1 seed in the tournament this year. His buyout is a percentage of his salary remaining, so it is unclear what that would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know there is no rush but I was hoping by now we would at least have heard that we were setting up a few interviews. Greene seems to run a tight ship as we are not hearing unfounded stories in this search. @AuburnNTexas Most college basketball coach searches, men & women, don't usually take shape til near the end of after the NCAA Tourneys. This includes having interviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warladytigers 172 Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 From RebKell's Junie Board - NCAA Coaching movement posted today - I was just told that Johnnie Harris is 1A and Tina Langley 1B, followed closely by Sam Purcell as candidates for the Auburn job, with none of them having interviewed as of yet. Auburn's AD keeps things so close to the vest that not much would shock me. It appears that he has a preference for hiring a female candidate. Everyone connected with the program simply wants him to hire the best candidate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering Texas and Louisville are still in tournament, understandable they can't be interviewed till season is over. Not sure why they haven't already interviewed Langley since her team is not playing. It's hard not to try to hire the woman coach first, all other reasons being equal...Same thing they try to do in NFL with minority hiring and must interview minorities when hiring a HC....

I doubt that Langley would come to Auburn for a formal interview unless she was told that she was at the very least a finalist. I would be shocked if Oklahoma and Washington didn't contact her as well. The piece written by Mark Murphy over at 247 AUC didn't come across as containing inside information, but seemed more like general information thrown together simply to have something to post. I like Mark, but it happens from time to time, especially if there is no news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
