Lol. Did they have breakfast at the Henhouse? Drop a couple cane poles in Sangamon Creek?

Another good FAU year and Dusty May could be on this list,...or maybe he was just missed?
Crime... He stole the Indy's heart.
Kevin Boyle is not going to go from a high school to a P6 college. At 60 years old, I don't think he wants to climb the ranks to a high major job. He's got a pretty good gig, and I believe he is paid quite well.

Look at Holtman's record at tOSU last year. Only finished 10 games out of first place in the B1G. He is higher paid than Brad I believe. Basketball fans at tOSU must have a lot lower standard than ours do.
True, but this is the same university that was awful *ahem* aggressive about how they decided to abruptly end Thad’s employment. (Just Saying)
Thad Matta Didn’t Get the Goodbye He Deserved
Ohio State’s longtime head coach and the program that he built have abruptly parted ways. Yet Matta’s impact on Buckeyes basketball — and the players he led — will endure.

Yeah, he's 123-75 at tOSU, and many sources have places his seat firmly on the burner

I don't always (OK, maybe never) agree with media and board posters who push this crap, but sometimes you just gotta say there's enough smoke present to believe there is a fire somewhere.
Makes 1.1 mil less than Underwood and he’s on the hot seat if tOSU doesn’t do well next season.

I think the bigger issue with JW is not that BU is keeping an eye out, it's where he's looking. I think he would be understandably irked if BU was seriously considering a move to a place like Arkansas, KSU, or even Alabama (though I guess that's a bit debatable). If it's a place like UNC, Duke, KY, UK (deja vu!), even something like a TX or UCLA, then you see if you can/want to match. If not, no hard feelings.

Cant remember but didnt BU say this was his "dream job" when he came here?
Dreams, like recruiting, can be fluid

Said the same at OSU. Seems to be a canned phrase he's learned to throw out at the intro presser. Or he just has a lot of dreams.
I hope he dreams of solid PG play and coherent offensive flow.
No AD cares what was on those wore taps or what happened. It’s all legal now. As for Collins….the Duke job was always going to be Scheyer’s. ND wanted Shrews because he’s a better coach that Collins. Simple as that.
I'm confused. You've been beating the Sean Miller drum for a while and I got the impression he was a legit option if this season is a big fail. This comment seems to back off of that. Am i reading too much into it or is there a reason you have him on that "should be added to the list of potential candidates" category?

Oh my , I have sinned against the Illini Nation....................I'm a big sinner....................my oh my.....................
We accept your apology BU........Just don't keep sinning ............And , by god , get to the second weekend this season or all bets are off.............................they really really will be..........................
I have spoken...............I really really have......Now go and sin no more.......
I think you are reading too much into it. Miller would be a legit option, hence he "should be added to the list of potential candidates." Miller was not on the list of candidates in the quoted post.
I heard Archie was never in play for us because of his friendship with Groce. Any chance that issue is still alive and extends to the brother?
Guess Holtman hasn't got any raises because I recall him being higher piad than BU when BU was hired. Think Holtman was in top 10 nationally at the time. But he also didn't get any bonuses lately.
At time of Brad's hiring at Illinois NCAA had not yet brought charges against SFA or Oklahoma State. I suspect Jay would have moved on to next candidate if that had been the case.
St Johns had no problem hiring NCAA sanctioned Pittino. They were truly desperate.
Xavier had no problem hiring NCAA charged Miller. They were truly desperate.
Kentucky had no problem hiring NCAA sanctioned Calipari because they have no problem with violating NCAA rules.
Should Illinois - the state flagship university hire a known NCAA sanctioned coach. JMO but my vote would be no. Basketball and football are just games. These are educational institutions not professional sports franchises.
you're entitled to your opinion, but if we are replacing Underwood next year, I think we would be extremely fortunate to have someone like Sean Miller available. Before things fell apart at Arizona, he was well on his way to becoming a Hall of Fame coach, and we would never have had a chance to get someone.
Over his first 9 seasons, before it fell apart, his average seasons was like 29-8. He had 4 30 win seasons, 5 conference titles, 3 Elite 8s and 2 more Sweet 16s with a 78% winning percentage. We would kill for that.
So in a way the cheating, is gonna put some school in a position they never would have been without it, to land one of the top coaches in the nation on the rebound
We agree in a principle on everything except your last statement. NCAA basketball and football have become professional franchises, and are enroute to the death of what we have known as the NCAA.
