Thanks for nothing, Crean.... Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.

Two of the leading candidates to replace Crean are Cleveland State coach Dennis Gates and Georgia alum and Xavier assistant Jonas Hayes, source told @Stadium

Got to pick Jonas if this is the two. Probably not fair at all, but isn't Gates stylistically Dennis Felton?

It is probably just agent talk, but what Gates and Jonas have in common principally is recruiting ties to the state of Georgia. May be THE box that Brooks wants checked.

The Athletic says it is likely going to come down to Gates and Jonas as well.

Throws out Kim English as a name alongside Lamont Paris, Mike Rhoades, and McMahon.

Another name that would be interesting would be Shaka Smart.

I watched Cleveland St lose the other night. I wasn't particularly impressed with their play, but that is not necessarily a good idea of how he would do at UGA. I still think Jonas is a better choice.

I would certainly consider McMahon. I would like to watch some film on them.
