Andy Toole

 

Age: 35

Current job: Head coach at Robert Morris

Current contract situation:  Base salary of ~$210,000, signed through 2019-20 season. 

Experience:  6 years as a head coach, all D1 at Robert Morris. 4 years as an assistant, 3 of them at Robert Morris. 

Best year as a head coach: Two contenders:
2012-13. 24-11 overall, 14-4 in conference. Regular season conference championship, NIT auto-bid, upset John Calipari and Kentucky in NIT 1st round. 
2014-15. 20-15 overall, 12-6 in conference. NEC tournament championship, NCAA auto-bid. Won their play-in game against North Florida. 

Worst year as a head coach:  2015-16. 10-22 overall, 8-10 in conference. One and done in the NEC tournament. 

What makes him worth considering?  Two NIT wins, both as an 8 seed upsetting a 1. NCAA play-in game win. 5 winning seasons in 6 years, three legit postseason bids (2 NIT, 1 NCAA), plus a CIT quarterfinals run. 2014 NEC Coach of the Year. 

Whycome would he'd suck real bad?  Took over a team with three straight 20 win seasons and two straight NCAA berths, went 18-14. Complete collapse this year... First 20+ loss season for Robert Morris since 2001, only the 4th in D1 school history. Struggled mightily with his team this year. Says this past season drove him insane. 

Additional comments:  Born on September 11th. May be a secret Muslim sleeper agent. Looks like a 12 year old... Could get carded at R-rated movies. His own son doesn't want to see him succeed. We don't seem to fit his 2014 criteria for a next-step job and he already turned down Fordham in the A-10 a year ago, a school that paid their head coach over $600,000 back in 2010.
