Who would replace Bill Self at Kansas?

[tower912]

Meh.   IMO they go with one of the 'Kansas men' on the list.   Manning or Turgeon.     I did like the bit where they name the only coaches to make the last 3 sweet 16's.

Yeah, but at least he started it with a link to the ever-reliable Bleacher Report.

It was close, but BR still meets the criteria... for now.  Winner.

Where have you been the past 5 years? When writers were saying Buzz was leaving for Alabama, Texas A&M, Oklahoma, Maryland, SMU, UCLA, and Illinois, where were you? For this to remotely be news, it would have to be new. At best, this is olds. We've been down this road before and will continue to go down it until Buzz either leaves, retires, or turns down enough blue bloods (say KU, UK, and Duke) to convince writers he's really not going anywhere.

I've been here. But judging from some of the posts earlier in this thread and in other similar threads there are many who are still surprised when they see people linking buzz to possible coaching options. My point is that even though we are slowly getting closer and closer to blue blood status, there are always going to be those who think we are barely better than a mid major. So Buzz will always be linked to possible coaching openings. Its never going to change.

Legit.

agreed - I always take advantage of those rare opportunities to look at attractive women on the internet. Seems like someone would've figured out  way to make some money off of that by now.

Here is another article where Self talks about the NBA http://www2.kusports.com/news/2013/aug/08/self-clarifies-comments-nba-coaching-possibility/?mens_basketball

Self said this about the NBA: "It hasn't really tempted me because I haven't had that many people talk to me about it. But at some point and time, sure, I think it would (tempt me). It would be great to be able to match wits with the best athletes in the world, but I'm certainly happy where I'm at."

"Nobody has flirted with me," Self said. "It's not like I'm on everybody's wish list or anything like that. I really don't know what it would take. But it would have to be awfully good though. Even a so-called better job — I don't know what job would be better than the one I have right now."

That may be the perfect response from a coach about taking other jobs.... I think if Buzz came out and gave some version of this it'd calm a lot of nerves among Scoopers.

If you see 'Begin Slideshow" on any article you may be taking seriously, just close the window.

As a proud alumnus of the Marquette University College of Journalism, thank you for your continued interest in and support of long-form journalism. I deeply regret it is now the 21st century, and the minions and other onions have co-opted the methods by which information is conveyed.

And, even though my first journalism job had the title "reporter-photographer," I most sincerely regret that these new methods rely so heavily on pictures, especially on stories related to sports.
