So, Who Has MU Spoken To Already...

[GoldenWarrior11]

Have to be honest, Weber just does not inspire much confidence.  He constantly underachieved at Illinois, and he only went far with Bill Self's guys.

Agree, would rather take Howland.

[PuertoRicanNightmare]

Would he really leave Louisville right as they are about to join the ACC?

Not Rick...his son. He's at Minnesota and did well this season

[Tugg Speedman]

His son who is coaching Minnesota, not Rick

Supposedly Richard was their second choice, after Buzz

[Pakuni]

Big time coach from big time university?
It's gotta be Rick Barnes.

The biggest problem with a Bruce Weber hire is we have interest from someone better.

Bigger name I think

Bigger name I think

Honest question: are you getting information that there was interest from a big time name at a big time school, but not who, or ... ? Trying to understand what we're guessing at

Yes

[keefe]

I don't know about everybody else, but I'm not a Marshall fan. I don't like the cut of his jib.

Maybe he can get the number of BW's tailor

[PuertoRicanNightmare]

Crean to Marquette

If this happened I would become a Badger fan.

[nathanziarek]

Well, this seems like a fun thread. I want to play.

I think the obvious choice is Coach K  Maybe Josh Pastner? Not sure if that fits the "big name big program" criteria.

I keep coming back to Matta or Brey

[nathanziarek]

I don't have a problem with Brey, but he doesn't excite me. Thad Matta feels like a much, much stronger name.

[drewm88]

I have no idea what's going on in most of this thread, so I'll just hope that most of you are being sarcastic with the names being thrown out.

I would agree whole heartily, but (and this is very hard for me, right 4ever?) Brey is a very good coach.

Na this happened with Crean leaving, too. Getting delusional on the internet is what middle-aged basketball fans do best!

Is the dude sharing this tidbit getting off on giving you hints without telling you?  I just don't get the "I know something you don't know" nonsense

I don't doubt your info about there being a high major coach having reached out, but some of the names tossed out are what get me. For example, what makes you think Matta? I see little that we offer over OSU. And I really hope you were being sarcastic in thinking Rick Pitino instead of Richard.

I could see Brey, I could see Weber. I'd also pass on both in favor of Howland.

[Eldon]

by "big name" do you mean big name overall?  Or just big name in basketball?

Is Notre Dame considered a big name in basketball?  I mean, it's a solid program and all, but "big name"  Idk.  Just my opinion

Matta could be way off, I was just thinking of coaches at schools where Football is king.  I would also prefer Howland over those two.

[Silkk the Shaka]

Cuonzo Martin? Tim Miles? Dana Altman? Just spitballin' here.

Led to believe very big name from very big school/conference

What other info has he been correct on previously?
