Monday 6/8/20 Pitt Basketball Poll!

[PittPoker]

This is a hard one for me. I would think Jamie wants to eventually coach at USC right? Will he ever have that chance? Will they want him once an opening does happen? Will TCU be able to keep him if he does leave? Will Jamie ever want to leave?

All tough questions and that's just USC. Maybe he wants another challenge and will be open to a whole host of schools interested in his services. But maybe he just wants to continue to stay at TCU like Pitt and coach there for a long time.

It's definitely not clear but for the purposes of this poll I am going to choose YES. I think he will stay at TCU for a long time with the goal to make it a consistent NCAA team and beyond. He might dangle or his agent might dangle some job openings to get raises but he just seems like he would prefer to be in 1 place for a long time.

I mean maybe he will want to go to USC eventually if there is an opportunity I guess but I don't know, I think he will be at TCU for years and years. I could see him finishing his career there.

No chance Jamie finishes at TCU - he has always had too much of a wandering eye for other schools as evidenced by him trying to leave for UCLA.

Being that he signed a contract extension thur 23/24 and he’s 54 yrs old now does anyone want to sign and pay big money for a guy his age with his post season record ? I’m not trying to be discriminating against
age , when Coach K is in his 70’s , but I personally wouldn’t go out and hire a fellow close to 60 to a new position for big money unless he’s a proven NCAA winner . I’d have no problem to continue employing a successful coach until he’s ready to retire regardless of age . So unless JD takes TCU deep into the post season tournament in the next few seasons my bet is that he finishes his career at TCU.
