| What is going on with this? The CIS Blog had tons of chatter about the Mac job including speculation about applicants, but so far there hasn't been anything said about the GG position. Does anyone know who applied and who might be favoured to make a short list? |

| No candidates with experience and success on their CV would want the job. They will hire somebody cheap. Doesn't mean that the new coach won't do a good job, lots of returning talent to wok with. |

Something evil inside of me wants Chet to interview for the job....not for the purpose of getting the job, mind you but just interview for it.
The idea of Chet and Gelineau in the same room behind closed doors having a thoughtful "discussion" is....perversely entertaining.
I'm sure it would go over well.  |

| This job is perfect for someone wanting to use it as a stepping stone in their career. Despite existing AD, Daverio has program in much better shape than when he took over for Jack Eisermann and probably the best part of the job from the perspective of becoming a better coach is that you have to compete against the guy across town. Darrell Glenn is the best guy available for the job but will Ottawa pay him what he needs and deserves is the question. |

The Ottawa job shouldn't be considered a stepping stone for something better.
Rather, it should be considered a plum job that coaches seeking work would covet if they could get it.
Instead, a well established, successful coach walks away from it to take another
job after being there for almost a decade.
That should not have happened, but it did.
Ottawa should have one of the best athletic departments in the CIS, but that is not the case.
Otherwise, you would not see the exodus of coaches that has been going on the last year.
At the rate things are going there, a coaching job at Ottawa will be soon considered a
second tier position which would be a crime. |

| Don't forget that Dave also played at Ottawa and was an assistant under Jack. We are talking about a man who spent about half his life as a Gee-Gee and still walked away. |

Couple tweets from Naete Sager about Gee-Gees job. No sources...
I'm sure that Luc is taking this long because he is doing a very thorough job.
"Humber's Darrell Glenn, Brock U asst. Brad Rootes and UBC asst. James Derouin are finalists for Ottawa Gee-Gees m's bball coach?" |

I can almost see the sarcasm dripping off the screen.
Anyway, if this is true, then I think Glenn would be the guy for the job.
He's far ahead of the other two in terms of experience.
He's been pretty successful at Humber, short of winning a national title.
He's a Toronto area coach and so his main recruiting base would be the GTA,
which was the case with Dave for the most part while he was at Ottawa. |

All three have their good points and deserve a shot at being a head coach.
Hopefully Luc can figure out things sometime prior to the start of school. |

| I don't have anything against the guy but why is Brad Rootes getting such a fast track to a CIS coaching job. He's only two years removed from being a player and has never been a head coach before. Two years as an assistant at his alma mater pales in comparison to some of the qualified candidates out there. There are some good high school coaches in the Ottawa area, so why are they not getting a better look? Shouldn't Rootes have to pay some dues before he gets the keys to the car? |

This has not been confirmed, but a poster on CIS Blog says Brad Rootes will be the new Gee-Gees coach.
This was posted a little after 1PM today. |

| on the same CIS blog another poster said he had called Rootes to find out if this was true...rootes has not heard anything yet from OU. People should not be saying anything if they dont know what they are talkign about. |

| Expect James Derouin to be offered the job shortly. If this happens, it is a big reach for Ottawa; the offer is probably at the low end of the pay scale which suits the AD and his tight ways. Young guy with no head coaching experience and no presence in the three big recruiting centers of Toronto, Montreal and Ottawa with plenty of competition there - he will be challenged as a young coach having to establish respect and discipline that a head coach demands. Let's hope that we don't return to the end of the Jack Eisenmann era when Carleton was regularly spanking the Gee-Gees by 50; if this is the case, this rivalry will die and Capital Hoops will be anything but a Classic. Let's hope that James D. can continue the winning program so interest in CIS basketball in Ottawa does not wane. Despite Carleton's win/loss dominance, virtually every game was a classic in the DeAveiro era. |

Tick tock. It will be 2 months on Tuesday since the coach resigned and we still don't have a new one.
Guess the admin doesn't think that we need any recruits this year. It is too bad because regardless of who is the coach the team should still be pretty good.
Hey Mr. AD, hire a coach. Some people care about the program even if you don't. |
