Coaching Carousel - 2023

Jason Burton (AM Commerce) hired as UNT coach. Being told Mark Kellogg is top candidate at West Virginia.

 

Robyn Fralick leaves Bowling Green for Michigan State

 

Don't know anything about Kellog, but looked up his history at SFA. First year, went 0.600. Every year after that the most games he ever lost in a season (after the first) was 8.

 

Tweet not available what was it?

 

Wow, it got pulled? Anyway the HC of SFA was hired for WVU

 

Mark Kellogg Named Women’s Basketball Head Coach - West Virginia University Athletics

 

Quite a few jobs filled in the last 48 hours...

 

Not a head coach but a name we're all familiar with. Wasn't a coach at Texas but he seemed to be the primary recruiter of Celeste Taylor.

BTW - what is GIA?

Edit: Found it. Gallagher-Iba Arena.

 

Not a big name program but Special Jennings has been hired as HC of Jacksonville University. Jennings has been the head coach at Montverde Academy the past 3 years, winning back to back National HS Championships. She was Jordana Codio's HS coach.

 

South Carolina Assistant Fred Schmiel named HC at Bowling Green (he was also on Staley’s staff at Temple).

 

Nell Fortner loses her Associate HC to Georgetown...

 

Yesterday's UTEP hire was interesting. They're bringing back the winningest coach in program history (284-209), Keitha Adams, who led the Miners from 2001-2017 then left to take the Wichita State job. She was 80-93 for the Shockers from 2017-2023.

 

2 more spots filled including Wichita State's hiring of Terry Nooner, a member of Karen Aston's last coaching staff...

 

Erin Grant landed at West Virginia as an assistant coach

 

I'm betting that JJ Quinerly stays at WVU. They're assembling a good staff.

 

Not a great look when you’re an “ascending powerhouse program” and lose your associate head coach in a lateral move to West Virginia to work for someone he doesn’t have ties to. Maybe Carter was just tired of working for the Sand Witch?

 

It does appear Quinerly is staying at WVU.

But, I believe Erin Grant was let go by Adia Barnes after two seasons at Arizona. Grant has gone from working/living in Los Angeles, to Tucson, to Morgantown, WV . . .

 

Still hoping for a last-minute hop into the portal for JJQ and for her to land in Austin.

 

Idaho has a new HC. Carrie Eighmey from University of Nebraska Kearney
