The college basketball season has several months remaining yet one of the game’s most prestigious jobs is already open, which should be appealing to one of our locals.
After a 15-point home loss to Liberty on Saturday UCLA fired Steve Alford as head coach, a position he should neither have been offered, nor accepted.
Upon Alford’s firing the speculation lists of potential candidates to fill the hardest job in college basketball began. On these lists that are not necessarily accurate, but often make perfect sense, is TCU’s Jamie Dixon.
Since there are months remaining in the regular season, do not expect UCLA to move on naming a new coach for a while, which means a handful of programs must sweat longer than usual that their guy is gone.
