May 4, 201214 yr Highest in the OVC after the tourney win.Even after Tyndall was given the raise, I was told that Murray State disputed the report that he was the highest-paid coach in the league. I don't know what went into their thinking, but they seemed to insist that Kennedy was making a little more.
May 8, 201214 yr https://twitter.com/#!/GoodmanCBS/status/199140891850571778 Jeff Goodman of CBS Sports has reported five names that have been tied into the Morehead State job. Wade O'Connor, Matthew Graves (Associated Head Coach at Butler) Sean Woods (Mississippi Valley State) John Brennan (assistant at Alabama) and Brett Nelson (assistant at Drake) Of those five, Matthew Graves should be heads and shoulders above the rest. He is the associated head coach at a school who went to back-to-back NCAA runner-ups. He has success with recruiting in the state of Kentucky, i.e. Sheldon Mack from Bryan Station and Kameron Woods from Louisville Eastern. He has also been listed as one of the top assistants at the mid-major level for the last couple of years. He has been a coach at Butler for nine seasons and is looking to get a head coaching job. I really think he should be the top choice. We have already talked about Woods and Brennan. Nelson was an All-American player at Florida. He was an assistant under Donnie Jones at Marshall and UCF. He has also had stops at Alabama and Florida before ending up at Drake. Also this tid bid from Goodman for all of you wanting Kelly Wells, https://twitter.com/#!/GoodmanCBS/status/199141333208809473 saying that he is not one of the top canidates makes me really happy. I really like the five people that Goodman mentioned for the job.
May 8, 201214 yr Kelly Wells has withdrawn his name from consideration at Morehead State. They'll have a coach named next week.
May 8, 201214 yr Author Kelly Wells has withdrawn his name from consideration at Morehead State. They'll have a coach named next week. Why did he withdraw? Because he wasn't one of the 5 finalists?
May 8, 201214 yr Coach Wells wasn't going to apply at all but was asked to by Hutchinson so if he pulled himself after this report I don't blame him. If Morehead wanted to build a program and have someone who stayed for the LONG haul, Wells is was THE guy. If they want to be a stepping stone for other jobs, hire one of the "Top 5"........

I really like the five people that Goodman mentioned for the job. John Brannen is a fomer MSU forward and has been an assistant under Grant for a few seasons.
May 9, 201214 yr Kelly Wells was not going to get serious consideration for the job from what I can gather. I would say Brannen would be a really nice hire bit O'Conner may be the guy.

Doesnt Well have a history of moving around also. How long would he stay there? Any coach who has success there is gonna move. MSU cat afford to keep coaches there long that are successful
May 9, 201214 yr Doesnt Well have a history of moving around also. How long would he stay there? Any coach who has success there is gonna move. MSU cat afford to keep coaches there long that are successful He is from there. He has moved 2 times I believe, both of them working toward the goal of being the HC at MSU from what I understand.
May 10, 201214 yr Brannen pulled out. Three coaches in the mix right now. Interviews ongoing today...
May 10, 201214 yr Author Brannen pulled out. Three coaches in the mix right now. Interviews ongoing today... Just what I heard too, except that Brannen was still in the mix.
