Ironically I think the long time assistants sometimes have a harder time landing those jobs. They get pegged as "assistants" and their names don't get tossed around as top candidates which sadly doesn't make them good candidates when jobs do open. There is a reason the same people's names come up for jobs, and thats because in many cases they get their names thrown out there and it appears they are coaches in high demand. That's interesting. Then there are there cases where schools go after people like Denise and Salima who have been very candid about not wanting a HC job. Maybe Salima will take over for Russ when the time comes, but I have to imagine those two have been approached countless times for Big jobs over the years. Well in the case of the two examples you have made, Denise has been pretty widely known as someone who loves where she is at, and not really seeking to be a head coach. You really never here her name, and that of course isnt because she isnt a gifted coach with incredible experience. She is. Salima gets called or offered everything that comes up, but to this point was more focused on a job that fits with her goals for her family, or finding just the right job.

You can be tough, as long as you’re not toxic. Some coaches don't know the difference.

I was wondering when someone would bring up Assistants moving up to HC for ND, especially from the BIG10, BIG12, PAC12, ACC or SEC. What do you think?... Do Assistants get passed over at these types of jobs over someone with a HC title or do you think they are just happy being an Assistant and not even applying? Although it's the HC's job to close the deal on recruits, some of those Assistants do an amazing job recruiting. Thoughts?

Mediocre ACC? ? Lol. All the teams came from B1G like Louisville and Notre Dame were/are mediocre compared to top ACC teams like UNC, FSU and Duke. Also ACC teams has a winning record against B1G teams this year. You have no idea how strong and competitive ACC volleyball is. Conference third Duke lost to Stanford 3-1 in a very competitive match this year and FSU beat FL who beat no:2 seed Texas. Louisville and Notre Dame were not in the Big Ten. ACC isn't mediocre, but it's trailing the Big 10 and PAC 12 significantly.

Nobody is throwing names out there except for Craig Skinner. I got one: Brittany Dildine. (mind you, Badger fans would wail and rent their clothing, well at least I would) Discuss (Indiana native, Purdue alum, WI asst coach): She isn't ready. I think will be an exceptional head coach someday, but not at this time, at that level. I think she'd tell you that. That's what I like to hear!

I hope Wisconsin can keep Dildine for at least another year to help with the young group they will have, but I think her time will come to be a head coach at some point. When it does, I will be happy for her and have another team I support as long as they aren't playing the Badgers.

I think we will hear Dildine's name bandied about quite a bit over the next few years. At some point, she has to move to the next level, but I have no idea how close she is to that yet.

Possibilities: Tom Hilbert, Christy Johnson-Lynch, Kirsten Berntahl-Booth, Ruan Theis, Jill Kramer, Cathy George . . . anyone of these coaches would take a phone call from Notre Dame. If Notre Dame doesn't hire a current sucessful head coach, the someone in South Bend isn't doing their job. There are one or two othr BIG coaches who would pee down there leg to get the job.

I'm sure that these folks would take a call from the ND AD, but I have a hard time believing that CJL would abandon what she's built at Iowa State. And Theis just started at Marquette this year. No way he walks out on those players. ND's going to have to make with the Benjamins plus promise increased support for the program if they expect to lure a coach like that to the Land of the Touchdown Jesus.

But that is what is happening in the Power 5 conferences. Notre Dame has more upside then any of the schools I mentioned, and you can win their sooner than you could in the BIG. If Notre Dame is serious they will pay 200k plus for a head coach.

That would be ridiculous to pay 200k for this program, but I suppose if they are desperate enough. There are few coaches making that much now and who are far more successful.
Anyone in the spirit of Brian Kelley come to mind?

Anyone in the spirit of Brian Kelley come to mind? It would be ridiculous to fund a program and pay a coach in a way that allowed them the chance to compete at the highest level? Do you know anything about the Hutu g process at Wisconain. They came after 4 coaches with a salary and budget that they all laughed at. They regrouped and came back with a totally different offer. What did they learn? That to compete T the level they wanted to, it took a commitment to do so.

The suggestion is that Wisconsin regrouped and came back with a better package. Sheffield would likely have accepted the first offer if it had been offered to him.
