Just an update on the coaching search at Monmouth. There is a great deal of interest in this job – a lot of guys think that it can become one of the premier jobs in the NEC. Here’s a list of guys that have been rumored to have shown some interest in the job (it’s a long list!):

Geoff Arnold – Assistant Coach St. Joe’s

Geoff Billet – Head Coach Christian Bros. Acad.

Kevin Boyle – Head Coach St. Pat’s

Mike Brennan – Assistant Coach Georgetown

Craig Carter – Assistant Coach Siena

Ken Dempsey – Assistant Coach New Hampshire

John Dunne – Head Coach St. Peter’s

Dan Earl – Assistant Coach Penn State

Jim Fox – Assistant Coach Davidson

Greg Herenda – Head Coach UMass-Lowell

Martin Ingelsby – Assistant Coach Notre Dame

Billy Lange – Head Coach Navy

Van Macon – Assistant Coach Rutgers

Darren Savino – Assistant Coach Cincinnati

Bob Simmons – Assistant Coach Ball State

Bob Walsh – Head Coach Rhode Island College

Dennis Wolff – DBO Virgina Tech

Typically I don’t publish lists that are so long, but this just shows all of the interest there is in this job. From high major DI assistants, to current DI head coaches, to prep coaches, this list has a little of everything. I’m not exactly sure what the administration wants (NY, NJ connections and Hoop Group ties will probably help), but I do know that a March 15th application deadline has been set and they hope to have a new coach in place by the Final Four.
