Definitely missing Coach Refts expertise on passing and defense.

I think Alfee will be a head coach in the very near future . That open position west of Wisconsin? |

Let’s see how many players enter the portal next week. 4 in from Mizzou. Hopefully we snag a big transfer or two. Especially someone who wants to play pro. Who better to learn from than Coches Tamas’ & Krista.

Seeing Tamas as a name for the MN coaching job, and now in the thread for Washington…where there’s smoke, there’s fire?

Seeing Tamas as a name for the MN coaching job, and now in the thread for Washington…where there’s smoke, there’s fire? There seemed to be more substance to a possible move to Minnesota for Tamas, given his history coaching there under McCutcheon with Hugh staying on as AD. I don’t see any similar substance or connection to Washington that would warrant Tamas being brought up with any seriousness. It just seems like a reflex that those names are getting automatically carried over now that there’s a new power 5 vacancy. |

Agree the only thing I could think of is that both he and Jen are from California so it would be a move closer to home. But UCLA job would be even closer than UW. |

UCLA would be a huge decrease in pay...and much more expensive to live than Chambana. |

I realize this is more of an aside to the point of your comment but it's context regardless: No one who pays close attention to Illinois volleyball would think he's on the hot seat. Illinois made the Sweet 16 last year. This year they lost two players to medical retirement and had seven other players who missed matches because of injury. Despite all those injuries, they still managed to finish in 7th place in the conference out of 14. The six teams that finished above them in conference all made the tournament. |

I'm just saying, he's one of the what - 10? - highest paid coaches in the country and has won 2 tourney matches in the past four seasons (not making it twice). The expectations to compensation ratio has to be unbeatable. |

Do you think Matt Ulmer would be expected to make the tournament this year if one of your starting OH missed more than half of your conference games, your three top MB on the depth chart were all injured at times during the season, and your two top recruits from the previous few seasons had to medically retire this year? |

I think John Cook, Craig Skinner, or anyone else paid in that range would be expected to make more than 1 Sweet 16 in a four-year span and not miss the tourney twice, regardless of circumstances. |

I think that goes to why he should stay. An admin that is willing to look at the whole picture when evaluating the worth of a coach is not exactly the norm. |

To disregard Illinois's injuries for the sake of standing by your post is dishonest, but hey whatever. And it's probably telling that you didn't answer the Ulmer hypothetical- the answer is that he wouldn't be on the hot seat if Oregon had the equivalent injuries and missed the tourney. I wouldn't expect an Oregon fan to be keeping close tabs on Illinois injuries and medical retirements. And I'm not some fervent Tamas defender either. I'll put it this way: even with the six other players that were injured at times this season, if Jessica Nunge (starting OH) hadn't missed all those conference games and Illinois still missed the tournament, I'd be among the people saying that Tamas would be on the hot seat. But I doubt you're interested in that additional context. |
