Matthew Mitchell to his alma mater Mississippi State
Felicia Legette Jack to her alma Syracuse
So open up the Buffalo job.
Also, I'm hearing this is Joye Lee McNelis' last season at Southern Mississippi. She's battling aggressive cancer.

Who else on the watchlist for a Power 5 job? What prominent assistant coaches might be ready for the leap? |
I mentioned this in the IUPUI/Iowa game thread, but Austin Parkinson seems past ready to move up. What he has done with the Jags has been really impressive.

I don't think we know that Mitchell is able to return.

I think you're right. That previous post may be in error. I can't find any news release about Mitchell going to MSST, and here's an interview with him from a month ago saying he was not returning to coaching basketball and has other plans. It's still good to see that he's able to return to something productive though.

I think it was a very late answer to Pickled Ginger’s question, “Who else on the watchlist for a Power 5 job? What prominent assistant coaches might be ready for the leap?” - just someone’s idea of what they wanted to see filled at the end of the season.

Could Robyn Fralick - Bowling Green be a candidate for a bigger job? Her first two seasons were bad but she turned it around last season. They are currently 6-4 this season.

This is an interesting extension. 16-16 in their first season, 4-21 this year. I'm not sure I'm seeing the basis here.

Just in case anybody names coach Arico as a candidate for a high profile job this season or the future. She is a Michigan “lifer”. Likely will get a good contract extension after this season anyway. |
She’s turning Michigan into a high-profile job of her own!

Ended. Okay, I read that as extended. To be fair, I only added ten to a word. 10/10 would not recommend.
Yeah, definitely curious timing, but only a few games to go and if it's becoming messy, I can see why they'd end it early.

Isn't that what everyone believed about Kim Mulkey?
I thought so too. But after she up and left Baylor, I have a hard time believing that anyone is truly untouchable.

To start, Mulkey and KBA have different make-ups and different relationships with their ADs (former in Mulkey's case). In addition, Mulkey is from La. and didn't have young kids whereas KBA still has kids in middle and high school. So even though Mulkey had been at Baylor for twenty-plus years, I'd be more surprised if KBA left Michigan (especially in the next 5-6years) than I was when Mulkey left Baylor. Never know of course but that's my 2 cents.

Maybe, but the programs they would be leaving are light years apart also. Mulkey walked away from one of the most elite programs in the nation ( that she had personally built). Three championships, ten elite 8s, and who knows how many conference titles. No one does something like that, which is why it was shocking and virtually unprecedented. There was nowhere for her to move up, and frankly she moved down. There are LOTS of schools that would be an enormous step up for Arico, from a school that has a single sweet 16 appearance to its name. I wouldn't be surprised at all if (and that's a big "if") she had the opportunity to take over at an elite program, whether she would actually say no on the chance she might someday be able to win at Michigan. You think if, say, the Stanford job became available that she would turn it down if offered? Seriously?

. Yeah I'm realistic and figure she'll move onto a P5 job sooner or later though.
