No President or AD! Who the hell would take this job now?

[Niv Berkowitz]

MU is a great program and job...but

Ask yourself: if you are a well established anything in life, would you leave your job for a new one at a great company where your boss isnt yet hired AND there is no CEO?

Most of us would not! Which begs the question - who the hell is gonna come here?!

Im not optimistic any more.

I stated in Cracked Sidewalks last night, if I'm a candidate I demand a 7 year deal for that reason alone.  MU will eventually fill the AD and president job, but since they will be hired after the coach, if I'm a coach I'm demanding a long leash as a result.  That may turnoff a bunch of candidates to the university as a result.  Force them to go after a less heralded guy that just wants to get the opportunity.

An established coach would be a fool not to demand a bunch more in years, money, etc because of the current situation.

On the other hand, a coach might welcome the opportunity to have some influence on who gets chosen for the AD.

I'd bet dollars to donuts your namesake Niv Berkowitz would take the job if offered.

Exactly my thinking.

Ben Howland, per Andy Katz, said he wants the Marquette job.

You're also going to a school that shovels money at its program and will ostracize anyone who disagrees with that commitment, whose Board and boosters bent over to every whim and accommodated every imagined slight that the previous head coach had, and showed that a winning coach always had the upper hand over any later hires.

We do have a President.  His name is Bob Wild.  Any he understands the importance of men's basketball like no President in our entire history.  Give the man some credit in what will truly be the last big decision of his career.
