Saw this being discussed on another thread on an unrelated topic so figured I'd start a new one.
Anyone have an idea where big Jeff will be coaching next year?
Gotta imagine that he'd be considered for a few of the many openings at the low and mid major level -- e.g. Marist, FDU, RMU (if Toole leaves), and maybe some of the higher reaching ones like Siena or Hofstra if they can't land their first choices.
Any thoughts?

Interesting. Would love to see big Jeff back in D1. Hofstra is probably too high reaching at this point but boy do I think he would do a good job over there.

FDU and Wagner will be as high as he goes.

Is the Wagner job open? Is that official?

How about Marist? Seems like that would be a good spot for big Jeff.

Dave Magarity coached there for 19 years! Marist today is quite a school. Great campus unfortunately located in a city that needs a face lift, but still Maris has a lot going for it. Recruiting for Dave's Marist vs the Marist of today is a totaly different task. Jeff could do quite well up there, I do hope he gets the opportunity to coach in D-1 again.

Great long-term President who had a real vision for his school/program and the ability to implement it.

Dave & Jeff were pretty close at one time. Seems like a good fit. On one level, I would hate to see him in our league.

Anyone know what Big Jeff is up to this season?

I'm sure Jeff is fairly comfortable financially. This may be a good time for him to turn his attention from being a head coach to being an assistant somewhere (Pro or D1 level). A lot less stress and his ability to connect with young players makes him a good fit.
That said, pretty sure Guy used to keep in touch with him periodically. Perhaps he might know what he's been up to. With Ligouri out of the picture, perhaps it's time for Jeff to come home.

CJB do you mean that Jeff should come back to be an asst at Iona? Sounds like a great idea but gotta imagine his ego is way too big to let that happen.
