Oliver Purnell out at DePaul

[ChicosBailBonds]

Many years ago when Buzz got hired, I wanted (Archie?) Miller of Dayton.

When Buzz was hired in 2008, Archie Miller was a third assistant at Ohio State, not even a second assistant.

Crean to Kentucky
Buzz to IU

There is no way that Ky. would take Crean. When Cal gets run out of town with the NCAA nipping at
his heels, Ky. will go after another high profile guy that has no scruples? Wonder who that could be? Alford?
Ryan will be retired, so it would have to be Alford, or somebody that I cannot think of right now.

Hmmmm.... Buzz fits the low scruples description, but he is not high profile enough.

I imagine you mean Sean Miller, who MU wanted as well. He wasn't interested.

I'm pretty sure he was being sarcastic.  UK is not going to take Crean, and after IU went down the road with Sampson they aren't going to step in the cesspool with Buzz.

Don't bother explaining it to him, Chics.

Chicos you're right, I jumped the gun.

[forgetful]

Bobby used to be an assistant on Danny's staff.  Danny is the more experienced coach, but is in a more difficult conference right now.

Danny won't be an assistant for Bobby.  Danny might actually be the better option.

Good point.  You think they could get a Danny (HC), Bobby (assistant)? 

[GGGG]

Good point.  You think they could get a Danny (HC), Bobby (assistant)? 

No.  Why would Bobby leave a head coaching gig where he made the tournament to be an assistant at DePaul?  Both will be high major coaches soon.

Plus, Bobby needs the money that being a head coach brings. The ponies let him down.

They contacted Craig Robinson...hahahahaha...Craig Robinson. Oh DePaul, why are you so DePaul?

Can't imagine they'll hire him, but if so, that is totally just bowing down to the CPL coaches by going for a city native. The guy has never done better than the CBI. For the right team, the CBI is a good thing, but you don't keep going back there as though it's an accomplishment.

He didn't even play or coach in the CPL though.  This may simply be a nod to some people to show they run a thorough search.  I can't imagine they would think this is a good hire.

Maybe Michelle asked them to, afterall she's back home in Chicago next year

Crean to DePaul

IDP!IDP! 

[teamdee]

Bruce Pearl to Depaul.

Not when Crean is creating a nice cesspool all on his own.

Sigh. We can always count on you to slip something political into every post. We get it. You're conservative and hate Obama.

Next.

And Paul Hewitt gets canned from George Mason.  What a fall from his Georgia Tech days, just couldn't get it done once Mason went to the A-10. 

[Lennys Tap]

Maybe IU will bring Buzz in to clean up TC's cesspool. WaPost sources at MU say Buzz wasn't just clean, he was "squeaky clean". Nobody's ever said that about the tanned one.

[Dawson Rental]

Eh, someone in the conference has to suck.  Might as well be DePaul.

I don't hear Big Ten fans saying "The Big Ten needs Rutgers to be competitive."  As long as the conference is placing a bunch of teams in the tournament, including a #1 seed, DePaul can be as sucky as they want to be.

Fans, no, but its a good bet that Delaney is saying it, particularly after talking to TV people.

I think it would be an excellent hire.
Pam's former fiance Roy would obviously be an assistant coach.

He is from Chicago.

Joke if you want, but I bet Craig Robinson wouldn't bitch about the men's program being second fiddle to the women's team.

I didn't mention him at all, nor do I hate the man.  Michelle is Craig Robinson's sister.  Powerful family, resides in Chicago and will be moving back to the area next year.

[HutchwasClutch]

So is this really true, they've reached out to Craig Robinson?!?  ROFL!!!! 

Just when I thought DePaul couldn't look more ridiculous and being run by rank amateurs....
