Geoff sure seems due for a HC job. I really thought WIU made a ton of sense recently.
WIU won 21 games this year ... Think they are pretty happy with their internal hire ...

Well sure. I just thought that would’ve been a great fit for Geoff at the time.WIU won 21 games this year ... Think they are pretty happy with their internal hire ...
I'd prefer a different ISU close to us would sack their HC and hire Alexander.Well I guess there is always the chance that Geoff would be considered for the Indiana State job when it opens up soon...hmmmm
I'd prefer to wait and see how the Illini do this NCAA Tournament personally.Sure hope Brad gets a heck of a raise and very soon!!! It scares me to hear the numbers being thrown around that Michigan is willing to pay for their coach. If I'm not mistaken, Brad is around 5.5 to 6 million, and rumors are Michigan is willing to pony up 8,9, 10 million. Indy...0440...other insiders , should we be worried?
Brads trying to get an assistant a head job so he can bring in another assistant here….doesn’t sound like a guy who is leavingSure hope Brad gets a heck of a raise and very soon!!!

Ok, thanks......makes perfect sense. I think it's just hard sometimes to not worry bout our past luck. lol Now I can officially relax and enjoy this team and the tourney. Thanks again !!!Brads trying to get an assistant a head job so he can bring in another assistant here….doesn’t sound like a guy who is leaving
Does this assistant's name rhyme with Smorelando Smantigua?Brads trying to get an assistant a head job so he can bring in another assistant here….doesn’t sound like a guy who is leaving
No, Bike Pointin'Does this assistant's name rhyme with Smorelando Smantigua?
William & Mary is open too.Attempting to read the tea leaves, Loyola-Maryland would be in Chet's backyard...
I have never paid attention to Illinois State. But yes that would be a better optionI'd prefer a different ISU close to us would sack their HC and hire Alexander.
I haven't been on the site for a while. Do we expect risk of Brad leaving for another gig like all the hubbub last year?
Naturally they're in our side of the bracket, aren't they?Just in case anyone was needing a reason to root for one of the underdogs in the NCAA Tournament:
Dambrot has coached at Duquesne since 2017, where his father played on #1 ranked teams during the early 1950s. Dambrot also coached 13 seasons at Akron and coached Lebron during James' first two years of high school. Dambrot did say in his announcement today that he is retiring to take care of his wife, who has been battling breast cancer since last year.
Naturally they're in our side of the bracket, aren't they?
Indiana State probably hires associate head coach Graves after Shertz bolts.I'd prefer a different ISU close to us would sack their HC and hire Alexander.
That is an extreme amount of money for a coach, in fact anything over 8.5 you would be the highest paid coach in the nation. In fact Brad is the 8th highest paid coach currently in the nation and here is the breakdown for the Big 10Sure hope Brad gets a heck of a raise and very soon!!!

He is well compensated. However, considering general consistency and recent success, seems like Izzo, BU and Painter should be ahead of the pack by a mile.That is an extreme amount of money for a coach, in fact anything over 8.5 you would be the highest paid coach in the nation.

Don't you worry - Brad's gonna get his bump. Make a run in the tourney this year and that bag will fall in his lap sooner than later.He is well compensated. However, considering general consistency and recent success, seems like Izzo, BU and Painter should be ahead of the pack by a mile.
