DePaul Coach

[HoopsMalone]

I was listening to the Score in Chicago, and Boers and Bernstein were saying that DePaul was going after another Big East coach who is not happy in his current situation.  DePaul is apparently going to pay this time too.

Any ideas who this could be?

Gonzo!!!

RUMOR MILL!!!

Rob Blaigoiavich

[Brewtown Andy]

Should probably start with who it's not.

Boeheim
Huggins
Wright
Dixon
Williams
JT3
Brey
Heath
Calhoun
Davis

[Litehouse]

Norm Roberts probably isn't too happy with his current situation at St. John's.  

[ATWizJr]

It's Dixon.  

DePaul fans seem to think they can get him because he wants no part of Pitt in the Big 10 and they are convinced that Pitt to the Big 10 is a done deal.

This would cause my head to explode.

Additionally, this would suck boulders.

If dixon were to leave pitt, which i dont think will happen, hes going to st. johns, not depaul.

How about Gillespie(sic) for Depaul?  I am surprised his name isn't out there a little more after his sabtical this season.

Isn't there some connection with Maggie Dixon at DePaul?  I think she was an assistant there before coaching at Army.

[Litehouse]

Maybe I haven't paid enough attention, but I'm surprised I haven't seen Ernie Kent's name brought up with DePaul.  He certainly recruited Chicago when he was at Oregon.

Yeah, his late sister Maggie was an assistant coach for the DePaul women's team and supposedly raved about her time spent there.

It would be an amazing hire, but I doubt it happens.

The Tony Barbee/Rod Strickland combination would be good for Depaul...so hopefully they go in a different direction.

Never going to happen.  The DePaul is just as much about what kind of person you hire as it is what kind of coach.  Guys with Gillispie's reputation and background need not apply.

Kent's recruiting was due mostly to the fact that Oregon has the Nike connection.  Take that away, and he's not getting those players.

Gotcha.
Any chance he lands somewhere less picky next season?

If Dixon does want to leave Pitt, he will land at a top program once a head coaching spot opens up.  Not DePaul.

Boers & Bernstein don't air until 1PM... Zaidman & Arkush are on right now.

TT34 with the assist.

[bma725]

He's been rumored for a couple places that aren't even open yet(if at all), Houston and Iowa State.  He would be perfect at Houston, which probably would have fired Penders had he not won the C-USA Tournament, but who knows will happen now.

[TallTitan34]

They said it on Friday.

[HoopsMalone]

They said it on Friday.

It was on Friday responding to a guy calling and saying that DePaul should hire Northern Iowa's coach. 

[muwarrior69]

Mike Dean is available.

If you think Dan Bernstein has sources at DePaul, you're sadly mistaken. He's got an axe to grind because they fired his annoying ass from their radio telecasts. And rightfully so.

Agreed... those two must have burnt nearly every bridge possible.  I wouldn't surprised if the Canada's Curling team wouldn't give them stuff.  You would be hard pressed to find two more mean spirited people in broadcasting.

On an aside, I love how on Terry Boers' bio on the 670 states "Boers has won several awards for outstanding journalistic coverage including the Peter Lisagor award... equalivalent to the Pulitzer Prize"

As those two would say.... Who are you Crappin?
