Jobs I'm watching(his thing)
Ewing, Georgetown
This feels like the biggest mystery of the coaching carousel, as nobody seems to have a real idea as to what will happen in the nation's capital. Patrick Ewing is in his fifth year with the Hoyas and they're awful, sitting at 6-20 overall and 0-15 in the Big East. They're coming off an NCAA tournament appearance that reportedly led to Ewing earning a contract extension, but they were 9-12 before the Big East tournament run. Most of the latest talk has centered on Ewing being asked to make staff changes and getting one more year to right the ship, but it's up in the air. It's hard to imagine Georgetown actually firing Ewing, but what if the Hoyas end up 0-20 in the Big East?

1 more year:
Jordan, Butler
Butler looking around has been a rumor buzzing in the past week, with the Bulldogs struggling despite some level of preseason expectations. They're 6-11 in the Big East after going 8-12 last season. LaVall Jordan has been to just one NCAA tournament since taking over, back in his first season -- but he's one of the coaches hurt the most by the pandemic canceling the 2020 NCAA tournament, as Butler was 22-9 and would have ended up in the 5-seed range. Thad Matta (a six-year Butler assistant and the school's head coach for one season back in 2000-01) would be a name hovering over this job, as would former Butler guys Ronald Nored (assistant coach with the NBA Indiana Pacers) and Ryan Pedon (Ohio State assistant).

Also thought this was interesting- in the others part of it-
Frank Haith seems to constantly be on the hot seat at Tulsa, but this is his first legitimately bad season since taking over the Golden Hurricane. The Mike Anderson-to-Tulsa rumors never seem to go away, though -- the St. John's coach is a Tulsa alum who was an assistant there under Nolan Richardson.

On the other end of it-
Ed Cooley, Providence: Cooley is a national coach of the year candidate after leading the Friars to the top 10 and a potential Big East regular-season title. He's also near the top of Maryland's list, although most indications point to him preferring to stay at Providence -- and possibly signing a lucrative deal.

Kevin Willard, Seton Hall: Willard has been mentioned with jobs for the past few cycles, but Maryland could really have some legs. He, like Enfield, was linked to the opening almost immediately and has remained in the mix. If he doesn't get the job, could Seton Hall look to give him a new deal?
