Our (former) Scouting Director, Daniel Bryant, will be Kennesaw State's next head basketball coach. Coach Bryant, who's only 28 years old, is the tenth of Coach Sims' former assistants to hold a head coaching job, and the eighth who is currently running his own program.
Interestingly enough, the coaches on Graham's tree have not been terribly successful head coaches. Thomas Liang, who is now at Penn State, has the most victories, with a career record of 126-126. None of Graham's former assistants has seen one of his assistants move to a top job, so his tree is still one level high.
We replace one Coach Bryant with another Coach Bryant. And the new Coach Bryant is actually a former Coach Bryant, as he's been on the Villanova staff before.
The Wildcats hired Jacob Bryant as their Scouting Director in 2019, after he spent nearly a decade in the same role at Texas A&M. Jacob left the Main Line after three seasons to take the top job at Stony Brook. He never posted a winning season with the Seawolves, and was fired this spring. Coach Bryant is 45 years old, and while he's only a Level 4 coach, he's as good as it gets at the one job we're asking him to do. He'll be paid well to do it, with a yearly salary of $188,435.
