Marist rival Siena will soon find out what it's like to replace a head coach on short notice.Fran McCaffery, after signing a long-term extension last year, predictably left the Siena Saints program to join Iowa.
McCaffery, 50, will replace Todd Lickliter after Iowa suffered another mediocre season in the Big Ten.
McCaffery likely had a small window to move on to greener pastures. Siena will not be nearly as successful next season after losing Edwin Ubiles, Alex Franklin, and Ronald Moore. The Saints' bench was also a weak spot this past season.
Several Big East schools were reportedly interested in McCaffery's services. Seton Hall and St. John's had coaching vacancies after the firings of Bobby Gonzalez and Norm Roberts, respectively.
It will be interesting to see what direction Siena takes while looking for a new coach.
