I wonder why a guy like Tim Floyd keeps getting chances while a guy like Quinn Snyder hasn't really been mentioned.

Oregon....get on the horn with Billy G!

Northern Colorado coach Tad Boyle is set to be named to the same position at the University of Colorado.

Boyle comes to the Buffaloes after four seasons at Northern Colorado. His team was 25-8 this season, second in the Big Sky. It was the most wins in school history. In four seasons, his overall record is 56-66.

Boyle played collegiately at Kansas in the mid-1980s

Boyle is from Colorado. Played high school ball in Greeley about 45 minutes north of Boulder. CU also interviewed Mike Dunlap and Steve McClain. It is beleived around Boulder that Boyle was the most cost effective candidate and thus got the job.

Eamonn Brennan wrote, about Oregon's search:

Oregon has largely bumbled this coaching search, shooting for names -- Tom Izzo? Jamie Dixon? -- that were laughably out of its range.


It didn't work, and now Oregon has to go back to the drawing board. The list of Oregon rejections (Izzo, Dixon, Mark Few, Billy Donovan, Mark Turgeon, Tubby Smith, Brad Stevens, everyone else with a pulse) presents a pretty clear road map for where Oregon needs to look next -- at assistant coaches and mid-major guys.

The problem is that the coaching carousel has nearly stopped; there are few viable candidates available.
