Just talked to my good friend Sam Mitchell. Former NBA Coach of The Year! He's interested in the Illini. We should be interested too.
Yuck

Getting back to the topic at hand, I'd be down with getting Bennett or Hoiberg. Do I realistically think Bennett will leave? No. He's building something that could be very special at Virginia, and I doubt he will want to leave. Then again, given enough $$, maybe he would.
I don't know if its the six million posts about Keatts, but I"m starting to think that maybe he might not be the worst choice. That being said, he's still not my first choice.
That depends if Cuonzo is like Nick Saban.Oh, he's absolutely gone, but it could just as easily be Mizzou.

Oh, so you're going to stick it out past the first unsourced, unsubstantiated rumor 24 hours into the process when no real communication has taken place?
How brave.
I don't mean to make fun, but we're in the fun house mirror now folks, everyone needs to take a chill pill about anything we hear from now until the ink is dry.

My problem with Cuonzo is that I don't think he can coach. I'm sure he can recruit, but his coaching skills don't impress me.
I dont believe we fired a coach who couldn't coach in order to hire another coach that couldn't coach.
You're low on Miller I read 1.1 based on recent tax returns. Regardless if he wants to move we still need to open up the checkbook.
I've been trying to tell you guys for a month now that if a coaching change was to take place that for an unseen surprise aka Lovie, that Cuonzo is going to be the next coach at Illinois. Now !!!!! all you want but no top tier coaches want to roll the dice here. FACT. He will keep the class intact, keep Walker and will make inroads in Chicago not seen since Jimmy Collins. He has street cred in Chicago.
So we might see a potential candidate first-hand if we beat Valpo. That could be interesting.
Gun to my head, right now, my guess would be Musselman.
The sky is falling....the sky is falling !! .....never mind it was just a bird crapping on my head......relax people relax !! JW will get us a quality coach. Perfect to some of your standards?? Probably not....damn you all are picky
Who would that be?
1. Why wouldn't he take a phone call? Wichita State just got slighted (again), and Illinois is one of the top 20 jobs in the country.
I cooled on Cuonzo when Cal fell off at the end, but would be good with the hire. His ceiling is much higher at Illinois than any other job.

Not sure Eric could pass the anger management and alcohol test.
