The struggles at the ends of games haven't changed in twenty years, save for the two when all the stars aligned. Recruiting isn't close to where it needs to be, and, as the guy at NDHoopRecruits has chronicled, while rival coaches are out recruiting in different corners of the country the days before and after road games, Brey has stated that he recruiting locally until April. Next year's roster, minus Mooney, is downright frightening. It's not at a 1994 MacLeod level, but it's at the lowest level I can recall under Brey.
He should retire and take a TV gig. He'll shine in that role.
A few names to at least call:
- Coach Fran
- Beilein ( I don't care how old he is. He's good and can coach another five years to get the program up to a level of sustained success.)
- Kevin Willard
- Porter Moser
- Bobby Hurley
- Danny Hurley
My guess is Dane Fife has been told he's the heir to the throne in East Lansing, but a call could at least be made.

- Beilein is a great coach and the Hurley brothers have a lot of fire and could be good also. - THEISMANCARR - 10:18am 3/5/20
- With Swatbrick in charge, I have low hopes for Brey's replacement. [NT]

- Well that's obvious, but not a reason to not hire a women's coach. [NT]

- I am telling you it would be hard to switch to a far greater game than the women's game. It is just - THEISMANCARR - 9:47pm 3/5/20
