It has been over a week since Rutgers announced it would fire head basketball coach Fred Hill, but Hill beat them to the punch when he decided on Monday to resign from his position. The settlement clause is awarding Hill between $800,000 to $850,000.
Fred Hill Steps Down As Rutgers Head Basketball Coach
Now it is time to look toward the potential candidates to take over the Scarlet Knight hoops team, and this here is the list of potential replacements:
Among the candidates on what is surely a defined list given the length of time it took to settle the dispute with Hill are former Rutgers star and recently fired NBA coach Eddie Jordan, former Ohio State and Boston College coach Jim O’Brien and former St. John’s coach and current ESPN analyst Fran Fraschilla, according to sources.
Other possible candidates include Temple coach Fran Dunphy, former Kentucky and Texas A&M coach Billy Gillispie and Richmond coach Chris Mooney, who played at Princeton.
There is no timetable for the search, but stay connected by visiting SB Nation’s Rutgers blog, On The Banks.
