Brutal Article on DePaul Coaching Search

If they end up with someone like Brian Gregory, they should do fine.  Dayton is a solid program, they're in the NIT finals, they have given plenty of teams fits the last few years.  Is it a big hire, no.  But it would be more than respectable if they can get him.

Butch is 7 feet tall?  I missed that memo.

I have said this before, the DePaul AD is a joke. no clue about how difficult a job DePAul really is.

Before Bill Bradshaw left the DePaul Athletic Director's job, Lenti-Ponsetto was one of, if not the best Assistant Athletic Director in the Big East.  And now that she's the Athletic Director, she's still one of, if not the best Assistant Athletic Director in the Big East.  I think that that is the problem, she hasn't figured out yet that being the Athletic Director is different.  She's still worrying about all the non-revenue sports and not realizing the importance of men's basketball from a revenue and exposure standpoint to the University.  I think that she doesn't realize the commitment needed to just remain competitive (facilities, etc.), let alone compete at the top level in men's basketball.  That's why she thinks a big name coach alone will do the trick.
