Yes, there is a big cloud hanging over Louisville and some coaches would shy away from the job because of that. But, I am from that part of the country and know it well. Keep in mind that Louisville is in Kentucky. They may have had a few good football teams but it is a basketball school. Make no mistake about that. And, they have exceptional facilities. They fill a 20,000 seat arena, and they have an extremely passionate fan base. And, they have really enthusiastic donors. They will attract a well proven coach despite their issues. Don't worry about that. They can pay a ton (Mack was one of the highest paid coaches in the country), and once the cloud lifts (which it will), it is one of the best coaching jobs around. They may not be able to get their number 1 target, but they will get a very good coach. Not having a school President and AD is the real problem for them right now. But, that will probably get worked out before the season is over. And, they guy they will hire is coaching at another program right now anyway and has a season to finish there.

I'd think Haynes would be a more likely candidate for the Maryland job than Willard.

And again, I don't think Cooley is going anywhere. He is living his dream.

Not saying either is going to Maryland, just that it's more likely than Louisville.

Louisville will not hire another BE coach to replace Mack. And, I agree that Cooley would not take the job is
f they begged him. He is smarter than that and has his priorities in the right order judging from comments I have seen him make. U of L will hire someone that has been in a big-time program and knows what it is like to be at a program like theirs. Purely a guess on my part, but I believe the next Louisville coach is currently a head coach in the SEC or BIG.

He knows he'd be nothing without the & Company.

As @John_Fanta mentioned last night on AFTER DARK, Providence's luckbox season continues as they seem unlikely to play at Creighton, at Seton Hall or get UConn at home.

I wonder if it would be better to do the conference standings by wins then percentages instead of just percentages.

X at Creighton should be a good game today.

Butler is really bad. Georgetown is atrocious.

Cooley is a very good coach and he’s having an outstanding (and very lucky) season. I’m sure he’s happy. But I wouldn’t be shocked if coaching at Providence College falls a smidge short of living his dream.

Given that he turned down Michigan and loves the BEast, I dunno.
