They contacted Craig Robinson...hahahahaha...Craig Robinson. Oh DePaul, why are you so DePaul?



Where is this being reported?  I did a couple of quick searches and didn't find anything.

First place it popped up:

@coaching_rumors: Craig Robinson has been contacted by DePaul intermediaries in regards to their open HC position.

Seen it a few other places since.

What a joke. They'd be better off re hiring Wainwright.

Agreed. If you're going to go the retread route, you could at least look at a successful retread. Robinson's greatest accomplishment is winning the CBI. And yeah...that team finished 18-18. And yes, that's AFTER they won the tournament. You go, DePaul.

Despite DePaul's best attempts, they have to eventually make a good decision regarding their men's basketball program at some point, right?  Right?  RIGHT??!!   ::)

And Paul Hewitt gets canned from George Mason.  What a fall from his Georgia Tech days, just couldn't get it done once Mason went to the A-10. 


Don't feel sorry for Hewitt, he will still be collecting Approx $900,000 for each of the next 3 years.

I'm pretty sure he was being sarcastic.  UK is not going to take Crean, and after IU went down the road with Sampson they aren't going to step in the cesspool with Buzz.

What is this cesspool you speak off.   We had only one minor violation during Buzz' tenure!

ONE!!

LOL.  First off, cesspool doesn't have to equate to violations, though it certainly can.  I sped to work yesterday, going 75 but didn't get a moving ticket violation.....

Secondly, two people (some at the U. argue three) were fired related to incidents connected to Buzz's program. 

Third, how you treat people.  Let's put it this way, people at the university aren't upset that Bert moved on.  Before this gets into a childish introduction of other coaches.....so stipulated. 

Etc, etc

Dave Leitao was an excellent hire and had them heading in the right direction.
Unfortunately for DePaul, they couldn't/didn't keep him around.

He left DePaul for UVa, where he "resigned' after 4 lackluster seasons.  After bouncing around a bit, he is now an assistant at Tulsa.  Not exactly the career trajectory of an excellent hire.

Probably the best DePaul has had since Ray Meyer, but I'd rate him "good" at best....

What does his lack of success at Virginia have to do with whether or not he was a good hire for DePaul?
Kevin O'Neill was a great hire for Marquette, arguably the best hire not named Al. He flopped at Tennessee and Northwestern and ... well, pretty much everywhere else. Doesn't mean he wasn't an excellent hire for Marquette.

DePaul was pretty much in shambles when Leitao took over, coming off 12-18 and 9-19 seasons despite having some pretty talented players under Pat Kennedy. He got them to the NIT in his first season and won Conference USA his second, leading DePaul to the NCAAs for the last time. He also brought in some really good players, like Sammy Meija, Wilson Chandler and Draelon Burns.
I don't think what happened after he left DePaul should factor at all into what he did at DePaul.

So you're sayin' that a DePaul coaching search is a...................crapshoot?

You actually have a degree from Marquette?

Quote from: muguru
No...and after reading many many psosts from people on this board that do...I have to say I'm MUCH better off, if this is the type of "intelligence" a degree from MU gets you. It sure is on full display I will say that.

So maybe they should hire him again!

It gives you a sense of whether he may have reached his ceiling.  He had.
