Felton has a meeting with the Scott Garrett this afternoon. Expectation is that Felton will be informed at this meeting that he is no longer head coach of the basketball team.

They got rid of whole staff too. I thought Felton would go but they would hire a guy & he would keep the assistants for this year. This .must be worst than we might have thought

This .must be worst than we might have thought No new head coach is going to keep someone else’s assistants. Any head coach is going to want to bring in their own staff. |

I know they do but the timing is why I thought that. Is a new coach going to be able to bring in assistants he wants this late?

Maybe not his top options but you can’t force a staff on him that he has no connection to and that staff would know they were likely gone in a year. This is why I stated they should have fired Felton immediately after the season ended. The team had regressed there has been rumors of players being unhappy. Scott Garrett is in a tough spot he needs to get this hire right because he will not get a second chance at it. It’s late and a tough time to make this hire. |

My assumption though is Scott Garrett knows who he wants to hire already. Every good athletic director always has a list of 3-5 names ready to roll for their top programs. I think the day he took this job he had a name in mind.

I agree with that. He probably was making sure he could get him 1st or Felton probably would be gone a week or 2 ago

Felton was pulled off the recruiting trail yesterday. Wouldn’t have been much time to negotiate today. He entered the meeting and was informed he was being let go. One of two things that means is either he got the full buyout or they are firing him for cause. Now if they have cause they mighty negotiate a buyout moving forward so it doesn’t get appealed in court. |

Pat will be in charge but this is supposed to be wrapped up quickly for the hire. Should be done in a couple of weeks. |

Any preferences? I have none on my end. This the entire year has now officially become a circus, go for broke and inquire if Rick Pitino would consider returning to college coaching.  Given it only took a few years to beat this program into the ground and It's really late in the year, I can imagine the people who will to consider this job at this time are going to be the cream of the crop. |

It’s funny you said that I texted a group of people that earlier joking around. I doubt they would take the chance but I would love it. |

I don’t think Drew would take the CSU job. If he is going to drop back down it would probably be for Valpo.

At Southern Illinois the recruiting area may have overlapped ours and his early teams did well. His last few years reminds me of Waters last few years. The others would really struggle at CSU. This is not an easy job. In fact it is high risk with little reward. Our best bet will to find someone with a chip on their shoulder to looking to prove the world wrong. Hope they also recruit players with collective chips on their shoulders. Basically another Kevin Mackey, warts and all. I'm not sure the school is looking to construct a team like that. However, the safe bets are most likely going to give us more of the same results. |

I would rather roll the dice on a younger assistant coach. |

I have zero interest in Chris Lowery. He had a losing season 4 straight years. I would rather roll the dice on a younger assistant coach. I was not advocating Chris. Only of the 4, I considered him the best of a mediocre lot. At least he had some mid major experience. We had a long line of big school assistance coaches that had no idea what they were doing. That was called the "Dark Ages" here. Year after year of bad teams. I rather see someone absolutely driven. If that person is young that's fine with me. I'm not sure assistant coaches from big schools are the answer either. Don't care if the young, old, or whatever. They will be recruiting a completely different population for a mid major like CSU. A coach with a start up mentality that enjoys fighting impossible odds is a person they should be looking for. |

There is one more name we can probably throw into the mix, and it's the ex-CSU assistant named Jermaine that is also a current K-State assistant.
Yep, Jermaine Henderson.
He does check all the boxes that Cleveland State is seeking. That said, he was a born-and-raised MAC guy, so losing him to a MAC school down the road is a possibility.
