My money for the UNC opening is on Chris Beard to take it next week.

LOL

I think the time has come to pay their debt to Webber for the no timeout timeout. He gets the job. That was always part of the deal.

Rose left Purdue after his second season to initiate a program at South Florida. It remains a bit of a mystery why it didn’t work out at Purdue. He says it just wasn’t a good fit. Clearly, his relationship with athletic director George King wasn’t good. He also was frustrated by recruiting against Bob Knight and Digger Phelps in Indiana. He wasn’t able to get Indiana’s 1980 Mr. Basketball, Jim Master, to even visit West Lafayette despite an all-out recruiting push, and lost another player to Evansville. And, he simply wasn’t all that popular or comfortable within the athletic department.

Thanks. I appreciate that insight. Not something I've thought much about over the past, well, 40 years, but when I have thought about it I was puzzled. Makes sense.

UNC: Bill, we'd like to discuss our HC opening with you
Bill Self: I just signed a lifetime deal with Kansas
UNC: So you're saying there's a chance?

With no chance of parole?

 

[JBtheTrill]

Self got it in writing with his new lifetime contract that he can’t be fired for the NCAA investigation. Wow.

The Kansas athletic department is in total shambles. How do you let that happen?

 

[skyIdub]

That is some Jedi head coach sh#t right there.

Self has been studying the Putin playbook. In power forever!

does it include free haircuts? ;

How do I hire Bill Self’s agent?

Hopefully he negotiated a raise when Johnson County Community College gets the hammer.

Could this be construed as an ""admission of guilt ""..?????

Well, at least it seems to indicate that the KU administration doesn't care if he's guilty,

 

[EyeoftheIllini]

Moser to OK it looks like.

 

[FollowMeDontFollowMe]

Moser to OK it looks like.

Does he get that job without the Illinois win this year? Crazy.

 

[dgcrow]

Does he get that job without the Illinois win this year? Crazy.

Doubtful. The win against the Illini made him an instant hot commodity.

 

[I11ini82]

I can't say I saw Moser to Oklahoma coming.

 

[PNWIllini]

You'd probably have to go back to Gene Bartow. We thankfully have not had many "failed" coaches in the last 45 years.

Benedict Bartow. Hired with fanfare to dig us out after Harv Schmidt’s demise, then skips town after one 8-18 year for UCLA. Hated here for years.

 

[PNWIllini]

I would be surprised Mark Few would consider the North Carolina opening. He's turned down too many other chances to "move up" from Spokane to do it at this point. Oh, if he wins the national championship at Gonzaga this year, maybe there's a chance he might consider another school. But being a native of Oregon, it's doubtful, IMO, that he would want to move to Carolina.

Mark Few is not leaving Spokane. He walks on water around the Northwest. He is far too much a local to want to leave.

 

[Illinivek23]

Didn't Lou made Bartow's departure a non-event? To replace Wooden at UCLA - how could blame him? My undergrad years were awesome from 79-83. Lou got the ball rolling with Levi Cobb added to Audie Mathews from the prior class.

Well in his defense, he did leave to follow Wooden at UCLA. That’s quite a gig. And he did move the Illini from 10th to 9th in conference. But most of all, his leaving cleared the way for Lou. But, yeah, considering how I feel about Self, I’m sure many people didn’t like Bartow after that.
