Good thing Depaul doesn't actually have a men's basketball board, cuz it would be blowing up right now.
Perhaps we could rampantly speculate on their behalf?

This is purnell's fourth year, correct? Any way he's back next year?

wardle2wade

Wow did not see that coming.  Should hopefully make that trip to the Allstate easier.

Markusquette

That stinks.  What for I wonder?  He is one of the more exciting players to watch in our conference.  Tough loss for the Blue Demons.

Atticus

Meh. Big deal.

He was a kernel of corn in a turd.

Should have seen it coming, he was suspended indefinitely about 10 days ago and has already missed several games.  We had a thread about it last week.

DePaul is 0-6 since beating Butler in 2OTs an then St. John's on Jan 14 and looking like another season is about to down the drain.

If they go winless the rest of the way, or maybe win 1 (please god, not is) how does Purnell survive?

That gives us a better chance at DePaul
I thought you were dead. Willie lives rent free in Reekers mind. Rick Pitino: "You can either complain or adapt."

Coleman

I know it's bad form to root for a player to be out, should want to play and beat the best team etc., etc. But honestly, I'll take whatever we can get for our trip to Rosemont. This MU team needs all the help it can get.

The key to Parnell surviving is DePaul making a realistic assessment of who they can get to replace him.  I can't see anyone with any promise as a Division I coach stepping into the doo doo pile that is currently the DePaul program.  What was the last thing to get DePaul's president excited about athletics?  The fact that Lenti-Ponsetto was willing (i.e., smart enough) to sign on for five more years without a raise.
You actually have a degree from Marquette?

No...and after reading many many psosts from people on this board that do...I have to say I'm MUCH better off, if this is the type of "intelligence" a degree from MU gets you. It sure is on full display I will say that.

You don't think a hotshot assistant with no head coaching experience would not want consider Depaul for his first head coaching gig?  That is Depaul's only way out ... find an undervalued asset.

Purnell, Wainwright, Leitao, Pat Kennedy ... too many retreads on this list.

I thought Leitao did alright but I agree overall.  I mean it worked twice for us.

and of that list, Leitao was the one "non-retread"  I believe Depaul was his first HC job, certainly his first high D1 HC job.

He had two unmemorable years at Northeastern before becoming as assistant at UCon..

You and I define retread differently.  I think of a retread as a guy who was a head coach somewhere and let go who then gets another shot with another program.  All three of the DePaul hires on your list who were head coaches when DePaul hired them, were hired away from their school by DePaul.  Wainwright was at Richmond which he had moved up to from UNC Wilmington after having unusual success there.  Kennedy was hired away from Florida State where he had been for 11 years, after a successful previous run at Iona.  Purnell has steadily moved up the coaching ranks as a head coach from Radford to Old Dominion to Dayton to Clemson.  While DePaul gave him a bigger contract to induce him to leave Clemson, in other ways its hard to characterize that move as a move up, although, at the time, I sure that Purnell thought that he have a much better chance for national success at a school which was the top program in one of the country's basketball hotbeds. So, by my definition, no retreads among the DePaul hires that you listed.

I heard a rumor from some DePaul students about the reason why he was suspended, and his subsequent leaving the team, but I don't want to be THAT guy that starts bogus rumors.

Did anyone else hear a reason?

Then I guess Depaul turned all of them into retreads.

If you don't want to say, then don't start a post.  But once you start a post, you have to follow-through and give us the rumor.

After all, baseless rumors are what message boards were made for!!
