apparently Thad said "No Thanks" to Georgia
Maybe Louisville looks better ?
They need an honest coach.
Has a Final Four coach ever been fired? Miller could be the first if Ayton keeps doing what he did to USC.

Frieder took another job/got told to get the h*** out right before his team won the national title. Obviously not the same thing.
fify
Plus, Larry took the charge on that final in-bounds play in the FF. Was that Ted Valentine or Jim Burr on the no call???
That's still one of my worst Illini memories that came during a great season. Steve Fisher goes 6-0 taking over for Frieder, including a nail-biter of a win over the beloved in the FF to get the NC. We beat them twice in conference play that year too.
Matta turned down $5M a year for 5 years, said he wasn't ready yet.
Leaves one curious what the real issue is as you do not travel to interviews if you are not ready.
Really good hire for them. I'm glad he's finally taking his shot at a P5 school. Seems like a perfect fit.Kermit Davis hired by Ole Miss:

Hey! One of us is going to be right. Curious why you don't think it's the right job for him?58 years old. This has disaster written all over it. I don't think this is the job for him, but maybe he'll prove me wrong. He is from Mississippi and played at Miss St. Maybe Ole Miss knows what they're doing.
Correction on the dollar amount - Matta turned down $3M a year for 5 years, said he wasn't ready yet. In any event, a bunch of money turned down for maybe something better, be it money or school.
Recruit Atlanta hard, the Carolinas and Florida and you got yourself a nice little bread basket down in GA
Started wondering where Eric Musselman was going to end up after his run this year so I started looking at potential openings. There really doesn't seem to be a lot of movement unless the FBI investigation gets things heated up. Last year was crazy with the coaching turnover, but this year seems entirely different.

Seems like a good fit for Memphis and Penny. He should recruit well. Now let's see if he can coach.
