Assistant Coaches

[2020 Sucks]

Estelle told Hank and Dave last night that he was headed to WVU with Ross.  Any word on who might be staying?

[GrandGreen]

My guess nobody. anything else would be unusual.

It’s a complete overhaul. I doubt a single player or coach is back. It’s just how it is now a days

lol you really think assistants would be staying after getting a new coach ?

It's possible.
Coach Robinson himself was retained at Iowa St. in '21-'22.

I'm curious to see who stays/comes to Denton with Coach D-Rob as far as staff and assistants. 

A few CSU fans mentioned some of his assistants may be on the list as his replacement.  Another source says search firm is going outside for interviews...

Internally you could look at Kwanza Johnson with his connection to Robinson and 20+ years as an assistant or Steve Payne who has been a D1 head coach before. Both could potentially retain Parker (CSU grad) and Shunner (married to Cavs host Cayleigh Griffin), although I have a hard time believing Robinson wouldn’t want to take most of his staff with him.

Externally, there’s a long list of assistants with some connection to CSU that could make sense.
Jermaine Kimbrough
Jermaine Henderson
Rob Summers

Gates and Robinson both came out of left field with no prior connection to CSU, so I’m sure there will be a host of other names as well.

 

Cleveland State Conducts Zoom with Coaching Legend

Word on the street is that Bob Huggins had an initial Zoom with Cleveland State this past Friday morning. The former West Virginia / K-State / Cincinnati / Akron head coach has been out of coaching since 2023. Obviously the other popular name here is Mizzou assistant (and former Cleveland State assistant) Rob Summers. He was part of the staff that had a ton of success at CSU under Dennis Gates.
