2021-22 College Hoops Coaching Carousel
It's even simpler, Weber just recently had to take a pay decrease to help the university out. He was making $2.8 M at peak. Underwood is now making over $4 M. They simply can't afford Weber's parachute, Underwood's buyout, and his new salary. They'd have to pay him $5 M or more to get him, which would make him potentially a top 5 highest paid coach in the nation.
That's not going to happen. Don't waste your concern on this.

IIRC that GIF's from Bowfinger. Kit Ramey's state of mind in that film was consistently... paranoid.Is anyone really worried about this? It seems like almost everyone of us is arguing he’s not leaving and they are all …
That is unsurprising.

Why would this come up? I cannot imagine they discussed that.
When I started dating Scarlett Johansson, she made me promise I wouldn't ever date Roseanne.

Didn’t see it, but always liked the gif!
I hope Brad gets a raise and an extension for the speculation.
If I were a mind reader this board would be a pretty quick read. (Just kidding, guys).
But I don't think all coaches set that expectation upon themselves. What's more is that I don't think all coaches actually believe they can achieve that goal even if they do say it publicly. However, I think BU does. And for me, even more than the $$$, that's why I think he's at Illinois until he hangs it up for good.

You owe it to yourself to see Bowfinger. 9 out of 10 college basketball coaches probably agree.
Because there were rumors out about him and L state last year too. So I’m sure him and Whitman addressed those rumors when talking about a new contract.
"he quickly left the Cowboys after one season for a bigger salary and a promise of a larger commitment to the basketball program. LSU could likely offer both. "
Maybe $$...maybe, but in what world is LSU able to offer a bigger commitment to it's basketball program???
he already did.
I didn't read the article, but would guess their football revenue is somewhat larger. LSU gets the instate recruits it generally wants, and is next door to Texas which produces twice as many top 100 RSCI players as Illinois. Underwood knows all about Illinois and his opportunities here. He isn't leaving this for that yet.

Oh, do yourself a favor and watch it. Easily among the top satires of Hollywood ever made. Right up there with The Player. Eddie portrays two characters, one a paranoid, reclusive star and the other his geeky twin brother. Brilliant Steve Martin creation.

And the one who disagrees is currently looking for a job and distracted beyond reason.
Another.
When KU had the FBI investigation into their ticket scandal several years ago, there was evidence gathered about a relationship between a known dealer and several KU basketball players. The FBI never pursued that, because it was not their interest. He was a friend, there were a lot of phone calls and visits to his residence by KU players according to the articles I read. Depends on who you are sometimes.
And another one on ESPN that I must quote for the sheer absurdity:

Why would ANY of those candidates want to get involved in that dumpster fire right now? The baseless speculation from ESPN has no limits.
That meme is from a web series, but Bowfinger is awesome. One of the first things I remember that made fun of/called out Scientology and its connection to Hollywood.

Georgia hires Mike White: Bulldogs poach next men's basketball coach from SEC rival Gators
White spent seven seasons with the Gators, but his tenure turned toxic with the fan base across the last couple seasons

Wow this is odd
That's a really weird one. And Florida has a very good 2022 class coming in too. I wonder if White was about to get canned, because this seems like a pretty big step down for him.Georgia hires Mike White: Bulldogs poach next men's basketball coach from SEC rival Gators

And for Georgia, you'd think they'd take a chance on an up-and-comer rather than a coach from the same conference, coming off a mediocre season.
