One name that kept getting thrown around to replace Coach K was Brad Stevens.

Stevens, who nearly led the Butler Bulldogs to an upset of Duke during the 2010 national championship game, has stepped down as the Boston Celtics head coach to become the team’s president of basketball operations, according to multiple reports.
