Why not JTIII? He's about as likely as Carril or Carmody.

Actually, the best of all might be Rob Burke. Spent enough time as JTIII's assistant that he qualifies from a lineage perspective (for those to whom this matters) and could bring back the magic. Also, I think I remember hearing that he was a great recruiter.

I second the nomination for Rob Burke. Carmody wasn't a Princeton alum so that shouldn't be a strike against Burke.

How about a higher profile version of Joe Scott: Matt Doherty!

Can I nominate myself? Even wanting Princeton to lose I bet I could do a better job.

I am going to throw my hat in the ring for the Princeton head coaching job. While I have no actual experience, I have won three consecutive NCAA championships on my Playstation-2 in NCAA March Madness 2007.

Rob Burke may make sense from Princeton's view but does Princeton make sense from Burke's view?
If he's looking to coach at D1 at the highest level, there can be little argument that a few more years at G-town will serve him better than a few years of rebuilding at Princeton.
Plus, now that he's tasted the world of scholarships and big-time athletes, would he want to go back? It's not like he's a Princeton alum.
Additionally, Burke's recruiting prowess is all tied to JT3. It's not like he's one of those guys who goes from staff to staff bringing along blue-chippers.
Could be a good choice but I wouldn't leave Georgetown for Princeton under these circumstances.

I disagree. Being an assistant at a big time school, even a successful one, pales in comparison to being a head coach at a D1 school - particularly one with as storied a past as Princeton. (Look at Miller; he left Connecticut for the head coaching job at a D3 school.)
Princeton's head coaching role is a much higher profile position nationally and regionally than Georgetown's assistant is.
Plus, it's not like you can do worse than the guy who preceded you at Princeton. Burke would be in "rescue" mode, and would be given plenty of slack given what he's inheriting.

Two guys I'd look at if I was Princeton:
Dave Calloway head coach at Monmouth (knows Princeton offense but has no Princeton lineage).
Mike Leaf, head coach at Winona State, a very successful D-II coach. No Princeton ties or experience with the Princeton offense that I know of so this option is pretty far "outside the box."

That would be Bill Wingen. His overall record in 17 seasons is 199-246. At Carnegie Mellow he has coached for 16 years and his record is 178-218. I don't think I'd look at him.

I did a Winona game for CSTV this year and spent about an hour with Coach Leaf. VERY unlikely he leaves Winona. Especially for Princeton. He is from Minnesota (Actually from Winona and loves it there). University of Minnesota? Now that might be another story.

I think his name is Tony Wingren, he was a volunteer assistant at Brown in the 80s.

We'll split the difference-- Tony Wingen. You are correct that he was an Assistant at Brown from 1985-1986. You can read his bio, here- http://www.cmu.edu/athletic/basketball_men/basketball_men_coach.htm
