The only reason that Doherty and Walters were "big names" is because they were well known college players.Posted On: Mar 20th 2018, 12:50 PM #377731
Doherty was Head Coach at Notre Dame, and North Carolina…he was AP Coach of the Year.
Rex Walters was a star at the NCAA level (Northwestern, Kansas) and was drafted in the first round before playing for seven years in the NBA. He won the praises of Pat Riley at the time he applied for the job here. That's a pretty substantial endorsement.
BTW, non verbal context gets lost in these replies, and don't want you to think I am arguing with you…just making some alternate points!
I always look at both sides of the coin…and appreciate your vantage

You're right about Doherty. For some reason I thought that he coached at FAU before Notre Dame/UNC.
Another potential option for FAU is David Padgett who was the interim at Louisville this year. He is a good guy and did a pretty good job under really difficult circumstances. He will be a head coach next year somewhere.

Please bring back some level of excitement to the program. Please.
Teambeer is the most knowledgeable FAU sports fan I know, way smarter than me.
