Shouldn't Middle Tn St. lose to Vanderbilt since the Dores just beat the Tn. St. Tigers pretty handily who handed the Blue Raiders their only L of the season? Nope, MTSU crushed Vandy tonight.
St Mary's getting blown out by UT-Arlington at home.
He isnt going anywhere.Kermit Davis. Give me Kermit Davis at Illinois.
He isnt going anywhere.
Hes been at MTSU a long time. He is pretty cozy there.What? If a power conference came calling, he's not sitting at Middle Tennessee

Its also true. I happen to have spoken to Kermit not too long ago.This is so ridiculous.

Not with a bag full of $10 million, I would imagine.
Power Five head coaching jobs are life-changing opportunities, and college basketball coaches are extremely hard-working, ambitious people who are often happy, but never "cozy".
It is also a business where you have to feign a level of dedication to your employer that would be unusual in other contexts.
Kermit Davis would take the Illinois job if offered, period, end of story. That he managed to convince you otherwise speaks to a recruiting ability that may be of some use to us.
Im also not sure a p5 offer is going to come.
Right, it probably isn't. And I'm sure he's happy there.
I was just reacting to your "he's not going anywhere" comment, which is something you hear a lot.
Only in college coaching do Average Joe fans wed themselves to the idea that the best-paying, highest-profile opportunities are things to be avoided for some reason. I'm not accusing you of believing that, it's just something out there that I've never understood, especially when it is proven spectacularly wrong in 99 of 100 cases.
Exactly. And I definitely wasn't saying that.
What I do expect though, is a pay raise. I think he's outperforming his pay in recent years. I think he's only middle of the pack in CUSA in terms of salary.
I find myself in Boise a few times per year and this conversation reminds me of people's opinions of Chris Peterson there. If you were to have talked to anyone in that town, Chris Peterson would NEVER have left Boise St. One person went so far as to tell me that the hospital in Boise saved Peterson's kid's life and as a result he had stated that he would never leave. Now I don't think all these people are lying, I am sure Chris Peterson told everyone he wasn't sleeping with that he would never leave Boise State.
Chris Peterson is going to the Playoffs with Washington right now.
For a guy named Kermit, I'm sure it isn't easy wanting more green.Exactly. And I definitely wasn't saying that.
