I must admit that with us having an opening I would have loved to see him come back. ONe of my favorite people.

Eric had a 140-178 record in 10 seasons as HC at Portland. He never even sniffed a Tourney bid.
That said, if Muir wants to hire him to replace Haase, it's fine with me*. Anything for a change.
*IF he gets a short leash. No more waiting 7 seasons too see if a coach can figure things out.

I'm assuming that Hurlburt meant as a replacement for Cohen, not Haase. Despite Rev's poor record as a HC he has a good reputation working with big men, although I don't know if he would bring the recruiting energy that Cohen established.

Reveno was hired by Tinkle a week ago. Given he has a daughter at Stanford he might have been interested

I wouldn't hold Portland's record against Reveno. Very tough place to recruit to. In the WCC, you've got perennial national powers Gonzaga and St. Mary's and SCU, USF and BYU are always tough (all five teams won 20+ games this year). LMU and Pepperdine can recruit from Los Angeles high schools, and are typically difficult. OSU and Oregon tend to attract the best in-state talent -- I don't think Portland has a single Oregon-based player on their team, meaning Reveno has to recruit from WA, CA, NV, CO, Australia, Montenegro, Serbia, Brazil, etc.
He's had some success:

Besides, Portland won 19 games this past season. Not bad.
RE: Eric Reveno - PVTree - 04-18-2022
Any news on candidates to replace Cohen? I imagine that we'll only find out once the hire is announced.
I just hope CJH is not going through his rolodex to find some former UAB operations manager who seemed to have coaching potential 10 years ago, but got a job elsewhere since nobody hired him as a coach.

You're aware Reveno was fired from Portland 6 years ago and has been an assistant at GT since then, right?

Yes. My only point was that Reveno actually did a good job at Portland, and left it in decent shape. He's done a superb job with the big men at Georgia Tech. And now he will be a thorn in everyone's side at Oregon State.

Reveno's HC record:
Season One (06-07): 9-23
Season Ten (15-16): 12-20
Best season: 21-11 (09-10)
Worst season: 7-24 (11-12)
Overall record: 140-178
Average wins: 14.0
Average losses: 17.8
Best conference finish: 3rd (2009 and 2010)
Worst conference finish: 8th (2012)
Post-season appearances (4): CIT 2009, 10, 11, and 16. Postseason record: 0-4
As a point of comparison, Terry Porter took the Portland job after Reveno was fired. Porter went 37-92 before getting fired with four games left in his fourth (2020-21) season. The W/L data don't support the argument that Reveno left the cupboard stocked. In Porter's first season, Portland went 11-22. In fact, at the end of the Terry Porter era, incoming coach Shantay Legans released the entire team and basically made a new team out of freshmen recruits and transfers. (Not really attributable to Reveno - by this time, his recruits were mostly gone.) Interestingly, Portland went 19-15 in the 2021-22 season after the total house cleaning, a W/L record that Reveno only beat three times in his ten seasons.
Some of Rev's best accomplishments were off the court and his work as an assistant with post-players. Apparently his Portland teams had a 100% graduation rate (clapping hands). He also led an effort to pass NCAA rules that require teams to give athletes the day off from practices, games, and meetings on election day.
Having watched his Portland teams, I was never convinced that Reveno was a great HC. His teams didn't do the thing that seems critical when you're at a smaller mid-major program in a non-Power conference: they didn't play above talent level or expectations. Maybe the best way to sum up the Portland years was that Rev didn't find a way to win with less.
