Assistant Josh Loeffler hired to be head coach at Loyola Maryland. Wasn’t he only with us for one year after leaving Johns Hopkins?

Chris Mack to College of Charleston https://x.com/thefieldof68/status/17...429-7Zsp1zj4Tg

So Mack is taking over for his former assistant at X who just left to take the job where Mack used to coach.

Ironic? Hilarious? Sad? Just desserts?
I don't know, but it is something.

SMU folks are saying Enfield to SMU is a done deal. Makes me wonder whether the new USC AD and Enfield got along. Andy signed an extension last season and was making about 4.5M a year

No mention of coaching under Chris Mack or Dino Gaudio; no quotes from either.

Toledo's Tod Kowalczyk appears to be the top candidate for USU.

Jeff Goodman says he is the frontrunner and, while no deal is done, seems like it is headed to the finish line

Dru Joyce III is the next man up at Duquesne. LeBron's friend/former high school teammate was serving as the associate head coach at Duquesne.

Southern Illinois is expected to hire Wright State's Scott Nagy, per ESPN's Jeff Borzello.

sedz recently in the NIT thread - "I don't know how Scott Nagy hasn't landed a high profile job by now" ... I am not sure how much higher profile this move would be but wanted to shout out sedz.

The Missouri Valley is a big step up from the Horizon league. The MVC was a top 10 conference this year. Nagy has been putting together winning teams in hard to win places for 30 years, including taking a South Dakota St team from D2 to #65 in the country while bringing in top talents like Nate Wolters and Mike Daum. I think it's strange he never got a chance at a major program.
