Marquette AD Situation/Coaching Search
« on: March 22, 2007, 07:09:09 PM »
Just thinking about this...if Crean were to leave for the UK job (which I realize is a slim possibility at best), considering the fact MU only has an interim Athletic Director, how would that impact a potential coaching search?

Speaking of an AD, how about this guy?  Jim Phillips of Northern Illinois.  Experience at Tennessee, Arizona State, and Notre Dame (ASU and ND w/Kevin White).  Chicago-area guy who has tremendously grew the athletics department at NIU.  I have had the opportunity to speak with him on a couple of occasions, and I think he would be a tremendous fit for Marquette (despite the lack of football).

Has Cords officially cleaned out his office?

Anyhoo, I'm sure he'd be the grand poo bah of a special coaching search committee. 

Slim chance.  Slim.

rats!  As much as I felt Cords was not the right fit when he came(football guy), he did an excellent job in finding/hiring coaches and advancing MU thru the maze of conferences to the Big East.  I sure wish he would stick for a few more years.

I have no doubt if it were to happen, Cords would be brought in as a consultant.

If so, he just left.......Cords will spend winters in Milwaukee and summers in Montana.

My girlfriend's parents live down the street from the Phillips family and they are very good friends with them.  I have met him a few times and he seems like a great guy.  I can only imagine the kind of work he could do in the Big East based on how well he has done in the MAC.
