All of the high-profile jobs have now been filled after St. John’s decided to go with an outside-the-box hire of Mike Anderson. That means we can finally give out awards: The best hire, the worst, the most surprising and plenty more accolades from the 2019 Coaching Carousel.
Auburn made the Final Four last season after winning the SEC Tournament, which earned the Tigers an “A” for their 2019 season. But not every team in the conference fared as well. Here are Stadium’s postseason grades for every team in the SEC, which take into account the preseason media poll, conference and NCAA Tournament […]
Former Buffalo Coach Nate Oats made the jump to the SEC after the Bulls were eliminated in the 2019 NCAA Tournament as he’ll replace Avery Johnson at Alabama. Oats signed a memorandum of understanding with Alabama on March 27 for a five-year contract that will end on March 14, 2024. Stadium obtained the memo of […]
Alabama Athletic Director Greg Byrne decided to make a move with Coach Avery Johnson after a disappointing season in which a talented Crimson Tide team didn’t get into the NCAA Tournament. Johnson, who wasn’t hired by Byrne four years ago, went to just one NCAA Tournament in his four seasons in Tuscaloosa. JOB DESCRIPTION […]
Alabama is negotiating a buyout with Coach Avery Johnson and an agreement could be reached as soon as Friday, sources told Stadium. Johnson has gone to the NCAA Tournament just once in four seasons and the Crimson Tide was a major disappointment this year, finishing 18-16 overall, 8-10 in the SEC and losing to Norfolk […]
College basketball’s regular season is officially over, which means time is running out for teams to improve their resumes and climb onto the right side of the NCAA Tournament bubble. Four automatic bids have already been clinched and if there’s a high number of bid stealers, then the number of at-large hopefuls will shrink. Here’s […]
This is the final weekend of college basketball’s regular season and for many teams, their next loss will officially end their pursuit of an NCAA Tournament bid. Sure, the games on Saturday and Sunday count the same on a team’s resume as a game from November or January but there’s a much greater sense of […]
Ten months from now, on Dec. 21, the 2019 bowl season will begin. Go ahead, set a reminder in your phone, I’ll wait. Since we’re “only” 10 months away, it’s never too early to crank out some bowl projections. The official dates for all 39 bowl games won’t be determined until May, but on Dec. […]
We’re about to reach the stage of the college basketball season where you’ll likely hear about “how weak the bubble is this year” in the weeks leading up to the NCAA Tournament. It’s a refrain that is repeated seemingly annually by college basketball analysts and optimistic fans whose teams aren’t locks to make the tournament. […]

The college football head coaching carousel has come to a stop, and we now know where the top 2019 recruits will be attending school after the conclusion of the spring National Signing Day. Spring games will start later this month and we’re about six months away from Week 1 of the college football season. We […]
Selection Sunday is exactly a month away, which means there’s up to three weeks left of regular season action before the start of conference tournaments. Since last week’s edition of NCAA Tournament Bracket Scouting, we added six new teams that are “locks” to make the tournament. As a reminder, here’s how we’re defining each category. […]
I wrote in yesterday’s ACC-centric breakdown about how the schedule is one of the most important factors when looking at over/under win totals. That’s especially true in the SEC with permanent cross-division rivals. A team like Tennessee is at a disadvantage because they play Alabama every year. Georgia-Auburn and Florida-LSU are also annual matchups, which automatically […]
The last regular season college basketball games will tip off one month from Sunday, including a rematch of Houston-Cincinnati, which was the biggest game of the day. The Cougars protected their home court Sunday to become the third team this season to reach the 23-win mark, joining Gonzaga and Nevada. Saturday was a significant day […]
New Ohio State Head Coach Ryan Day assembled the No. 15 recruiting class in the country for 2019, which is by far the highest-rated class of the 26 FBS schools that hired a new coach this offseason, according to the 247Sports Composite rankings as of 5 p.m. ET on National Signing Day. The Buckeyes are […]
