Hadn't seen this mentioned anywhere...but thought at minimum would be a fun topic to discuss...considering Cords hired Kevin O'Neill the first time around...and K.O. still is fond of his time at Marquette....a guy considered to be a great recruiter...is now older, wiser, been around....totally far fetched or could it be a possibility?
Assume Shaka Smart turns us down, Marshall too...would you prefer Saul Phillips, the Manhattan coach, or Amaker, etc., over K.O.? Howland?

God no! The guy's shown no progression in coaching since his time at MU. I appreciate everything he did bringing this program back but we're a powerhouse now not a program looking to rebuild.
People should review his record at SC before jumping into this pool.
Trust me he has caked cords 100 times today.

I completely agree the man has been all over the place with not much to show for it. His recent gigs at 'Zona and USC both ended poorly.

Well, he did win us two conference championships....the university is still looking for the trophy and banner associated with the second one, but if KO says he won two at MU, who are we to disagree.
OH, and please shoot me with this this idea

I think that you are discounting what a fine representative he will be for the University.

Oh I remember that guy. Wasn't the last job he was successful at Marquette?
Love him as an announcer. But pass
