According to Andy Katz, USF's new coach will be...

[Guest AstroBull]

Kevin O'Neill.  Deal should be done here pretty soon.  Right now he is an assistant coach for the Indiana Pacers.  Had some NBA head coaching experience with the Raptors in 04-05.  Also has head coaching experience with Tennessee, Northwestern, and Marquette.

Wow, what happened to Heath?  I remember O'Neill when he was at Marquette and Tennessee, not a bad coach.  Hopefully he's the one that will turn this thing around.  Not expecting NCAAs or anything next year, but a trip to the Big East tourney would be nice.

He is a good coach, but would rather have Stan H.

I won't be negative, this is a solid hire. Hopefully we're patient enough to let him organize himself.

This isnt an April Fools joke is it? (EI and you could have done something elaborate) Or did I just get my hopes too high for Heath? I dont know, I havent heard the name before.

Did you have a link Astro? I'm not seeing it on espn.com anywhere(could just be missing it) or did you see it on ESPNnews or something?

this has to be a joke. what happened to stan heath? stan heath should have been hired two days ago

[JoeB]

Actually, the more I look at this potential hire, the more I don't like it.

DW will get the "right" man for the job

Seth Davis just confirmed that "USF is interested in Stan Heath and Kevin O'Neill".  C'mon Doug, get Heath in here.
