Obviously it’s very early here, but I’ve already started hearing names for the Wyoming job. My sources have told me that AD Tom Burman will begin an immediate search, most likely with the help of a search firm. Also, former head coach Heath Schroyer was making $160k/yr base ($350-$400k with incentives) – that will have to go up significantly if they want to attract a quality candidate. Here’s a short list of what I’ve heard:
Dave Rice – Associate Head Coach – BYU
Larry Shyatt – Assistant Coach – Florida
Billy Gillispie – Former head coach – Kentucky and UTEP
Joe Dooley – Assistant Coach – Kansas
Mike Dunlap – Assistant Coach – St. John’s
Jeremy Cox – Assistant Coach – South Florida
Johnny Jones – Head Coach – North Texas
This is a pretty solid starting point. All great candidates, but we’ll see how it plays out. I’ll keep you updated as the search progresses.
