Not a P5 job but definitely not a lateral move. Top job in the conference...and more money. Great city too.

The CAA is a high high teen ranked conference and the big south is usually in the low 20s. I guess you guys and I have a different view of lateral. He’s going from a 1 bid conference to a 1 bid conference.

Well yeah I’m guessing he gets more money. I’m specifically pointing out the quality of the conferences. Is winning at Charleston any more impressive than winning at Winthrop?

Lateral move coaching wise = a wash

Making twice as much money = happy wife

Happy wife, we all know the answer

It really was too bad Kelsey changed his mind even though i suspect he would already have moved on to a P5 job by now..

This douchebag might get the Louisville job.

https://x.com/GoodmanHoops/status/17730 ... 46473?s=20
BREAKING: Louisville is closing in on a deal with College of Charleston’s Pat Kelsey that would make Kelsey the Cardinals head coach, sources told
@thefieldof68
.

Barring a last-minute breakdown in negotiations, a deal is expected between the two sides.

Kelsey is a Midwest guy who grew up in Cincinnati, has been a head coach at Winthrop and Charleston — and taken the Cougars to the NCAA tourney the past two seasons.

High, high energy, built a terrific culture in Charleston, gets his players to play hard and is considered a very good X’s and O’s coach.

I don't know how I feel about him TBH.

He was coming in to a somewhat toxic environment and he was smart enough to figure it out quickly. Does that make him a douche or smart? That could have turned out to be career suicide instead of a stepping stone?

Douche by the way he did it, leaving at literally the last second. The press, fans, and the band were assembled waiting for the press conference and he slipped out the back door.

Most of their fans don't think he will show up and other sources are saying he has not agreed to the deal. Too much drama for this guy. Besides, he owes me gas money. I drove an hour each way to see him not get introduced. :lol:

He's a fucking douche bag. Even if there was a shred of truth to the "toxic environment" that somehow continues to be perpetuated by some, the way he handled himself alone makes him a fucking douche bag.
