  1. Serious inquiries? Nah. But it's more likely that those guys weren't interested while RT was still the coach. Why should they be?
  2. That's the conundrum. Just asking, has CDC found anyone like that?
  3. A lot of the coaches they'll be looking at are going to be around 60. I am not going to automatically eliminate a guy with his NBA record. NBA games are won by finding advantages and pounding on them relentlessly. If a guy can produce at that level, he can X and O. Will he recruit? That is the question. He crumbled at Mizzou and there were rumors. I assume he's good now.
  4. Actually, it seems like it was easy.
  5. Whatever you do, don't let the facts get in your way.
  6. So he's actually better than you thought, huh?
  7. Who has the higher winning percentage between them?
  8. How good do you have to be to be more than "nothing special in the pros"?
  9. If I were arguing against Donovan being a candidate, you might have a point, but I didn't argue that. I said that Donovan won't come back, but people still ask for him. Snyder went pro after a rocky finish at MU. If that were the only thing on his resume, I would question that. But, if a successful NBA HC (which QS is) is interested in your college job, you have to give him a serious look, not wishcast about a guy who is not going to be interested.
  10. Don Haskins made UTEP into a pretty good job, and it withstood quite a bit of time, but now is not that time.
  11. How many guys bring up Billy Donovan, like he's going to come back to college when the basketball world knows he hates recruiting and wants to be in the NBA? (Answer: Too many.) Anyone who is thinking about coming back to college, regardless of his situation, after a decade as a HC in the NBA, has experience that most candidates don't.
  12. Isn't that kind of like hiring RT?
  13. There is a lot of "Your turn." But Tre is top 25 in KenPom shot rate, along with some other really good players.
  14. Has RT "maximized" Tre? Pretty much. Toppin is roughly the same player he was at UNM, but with a lot more shots. If Texas had gotten him, the offense would have been much more effective.
  15. I think Saban resigning set off a tidal wave. It could happen. But again, that would mean that Texas hired one of the most famous coaches in America. Not planning on that.
  16. Jeff seems to believe that Texas will make the money machine go BRRRRRR and affect every other decision in the cycle. We, on the other hand, know better.
  17. No question. Major part of that is being impressed with the league SOS.
  18. Looking at Lunardi, just as an example, Texas is one of the last byes, and Arkansas is last four in. If the Hogs win tomorrow, they'll probably swap spots. Having a n-c schedule that weak means you can't blow good opportunities for n-c wins. Turns out now that they're competing with Ohio State and UConn, and they lost decisively to both. Not that winning all those buy games is terrible, but those two losses really hurt.
  19. Supposedly this was done in the summer and for some reason is only being announced now. I am pretty sure the base will be unhappy. The thing is, fans at every high D-I school clamor for a tournament appearance and then a path to a championship. It can't happen for everyone. And there aren't enough good coaches to go around, which is why they are paid so much. Not sure who would have been after HD, except having the contract to rely on in recruiting... "I'll be there, no problem," etc.
  20. Latest update of the Matrix has Texas hanging on as the first No. 11. Seems like they need four more wins before SS unless everyone else keeps losing, which also is happening.
  21. Yes, two guys were out.
  22. Yes, they'd be going red in revenue sport, and for what? What outcome makes that worth it? There is no guaranteed championship at the end.
  23. Just because of this, he's probably not a fit for Texas, and I would definitely consider him.
  24. Perhaps not for much longer, though.
  25. He didn't quit Villanova because he wanted to move. He quit because he didn't want to do the new college game.
