My list of possible WBB coaches - adding one I don't think we've discussed

Tired of the KB discussion. He's gone, let's move on. Hopefully Whit is willing to spend $ to keep the WBB train rolling. Maybe even keep some of our existing players. To do so, I think he needs to get an offensive minded coach. Here's my list of possible replacements 1. Lindsday Edmonds (Rice). She seems to be the favorite of this board. Not my favorite but I'd be happy if she comes. 2. Megan Duffy (Marquette) - Rising star, reported that she interviewed for Pitt job last year so I think she's open to leave. 3. Aaron Roussell (Richmond) - Won everywhere he goes. He should be ready to coach at P5. Would be similar to our hiring CKB 8 years ago. 4. Karl Smesko - if you like driving to basket he's your coach. Dribble drive offensive, his team either shoots a lay-up or a 3 pointer. I think Karl is intriguing but of this list my preference is Megan. Not sure we've discussed her as a possiblity. It will be interesting to see what names are floated around. If history is a guide, once a name is floated we know they won't be the choice 😎

Tweet says Whit contacting mid-major coaches - if true then rule out 1 or 2
HokieHill 03/28/24 03:59 PM ET
Does not mply he has not talked to High Major coaches just that

I'll say again Jennie Baranczyk - Head coach at Oklahoma

We would probably get her a big raise if we tried to hire her.....
ChrisLords 03/28/24 03:55 PM ET
Looking at his record, Aaron Roussell is my new favorite candidate.
ChrisLords 03/28/24 02:51 PM ET
My biggest concern with Roussell is that he'd depart in 3 to 5 years...
Old Line Hokie 03/28/24 03:05 PM ET
Anyone we hire will probably do that unless we hire another past-his-prime
DGHOKIE 03/28/24 05:06 PM ET
If your biggest concern is that he might get hired away too soon, then he's
ChrisLords 03/28/24 03:46 PM ET
And he coached the “Chicago Maroons” 😀**

Duffy is Midwest all the way. That concerns me.**
HokieR 03/28/24 02:18 PM ET
Probably not in WB budget range already at $800K or so**
TabbHokie 03/28/24 03:17 PM ET
Wow
VTRome 03/28/24 02:12 PM ET
Muffy McGruffy would love her!!!**

I’ve watched Rousseau for 3 seasons

#1... there won't a runner up or second favorite..
JRHokie 03/28/24 02:10 PM ET
She does have that JMU connection, and husband VT connection.**
Stork 03/28/24 03:14 PM ET
Did her husband go to VT or something?**
Hokster 03/28/24 04:40 PM ET
He’s from Nottoway County. Related to former VT fullback Brian Edmonds also
Stork 03/28/24 05:36 PM ET
I like your #1 and #2. Another name WB may check out- Sean O'Regan (JMU).**
hokie77 03/28/24 02:04 PM ET
I hope not Sean O’Regan. Not a big time coach.**
mac13 03/28/24 06:36 PM ET
Not saying I want him. Just read his name mentioned along with Edmonds.**
