Rumblings on Twitter about Senderoff being a favorite for Albany.

Feels similar to Tod K and the Utah State rumors a year ago.

Who would be the funniest person in this job, other than Keith Dambrot? I always root for that.

Makes sense.

Alma mater....he's 51...probably looking at this as his last stop. Looking forward to Jimmy Christian returning to Kent.

Stan Heath leaving EMU for a return to Kent State would be pretty funny.

I'd be happy just to avoid seeing him chew his gum with his mouth open.

"TOS to ___" = basketball vacancy
"___'s dog is sick" = football vacancy

Hope he and everyone else (Groce, Steele, Tod K, Heath, Boals) stays. We've assembled a pretty good crop of coaches in the MAC that I hope can bring us up and out of the funk we are currently in.

They need to bring this guy back to Northeast Ohio!

It was always a blast when his Kangaroo Circus came to Athens in the early 2000s.

How about Kent brings back Geno or Jimmy C? They were a combined 11-52 this year at Stony and Canisius!!! ROCK ON!

Calls? He's been in the office all day offering him coffee and water every time he walks by.

Is this official, or just speculation?

If Kent can't keep Senderoff from a rundown program like Fordham ... what does that tell the next guy who wants to be a head coach there?

I am sure Kant AD has caller ID. That will make things easier.

Sounds all but done. Senderoff's first FT coaching job was at Fordham -- so he has ties. I'm guessing he's gotten some NIL promises to make it more appealing as well.

However, we need to acknowledge that the MAC, although a mid-major conference by definition at the moment -- it's tough to tell which direction the conference is trending in for basketball. So, it really shouldn't be a surprise if any coach leaves or if the jobs are viewed as stepping stones.

I say this because since my own affiliation (08) began, only two teams have capitalized in March - ourselves and Buffalo, multiple times. Buffalo then proceeded to ignore what apparently the rest of CBB knows and that's Bryan Hodgson was and is still currently, a coaching star on the rise. Huge missed continuity opportunity after Oats left for Bama.

Toledo has accumulated a plethora of some of the most talented players I've personally ever seen in the conference and can't even showcase that on the national stage because Tod K evidently lacks the March factor. Without knowing Toledo's NIL details, it might be why there's been such an exodus the last two portal seasons.

Akron has been the face in March 3 out of the last 4 seasons, but still lacking the MM win.

We've also been trending in the wrong direction since our Virginia win. What's the last marquee win for the conference?

The better players in the conference are leaving, so I think it should be expected at some point to see the better coaches leave as well.
