I'd also like to formally say, that contrary to any rumors I am not interested in the Georgetown job.

Rumor has it, you were contacted, but forgot to respond.
You actually have a degree from Marquette?

Quote from: muguru
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.

I'm skeptical that Ewing was ever even in the top 3-5 during the early stages of this search unless his taking over was part of a predetermined agreement with the Thompsons to not make life difficult for the school/new coach. (And the search firm is now intended to brush the Thompsons' prints off)

Ewing doesn't have any experience recruiting, wouldn't seem to represent enough of a shift or splashy hire to make wealthy donors happy, and to say he has been "connected" to nba gigs is an understatement - he was being interviewed for every opening, and the way he kept ending up a bridesmaid was getting uncomfortable for the entire league.

But if Ewing was the only coach the Thompsons would accept, perhaps the other decision makers see it as the necessary first step to get out from under them.

Ewing was #3, just like Buzz was when Crean left - a perfect fall back candidate.  Gtown knew Ewing wasn't going anywhere and they could get him whenever they wanted to. So, when the top two turned down Gtown there was Ewing waiting patiently.

http://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/jim-harbaugh-compares-tom-creans-dismissal-at-indiana-to-his-own-with-49ers/

This is what's called a lie (or gross exaggeration, who the hell knows anymore) within a truth. Everyone agrees Harbaugh was the best 49ers coach since Bill Walsh and that the d!ckhead owner and former GM chased him off out of pride. He immediately landed a premier job in college football, where his skillset as a teacher is better utilized and appreciated. But to equate those two: the evidence doesn't support that.

Though maybe Crean will prove me wrong and like, Harbuagh, he'll have great success one level down. He should have a long career at Northwestern (Iowa)

Think about it.....

Where would Crean be a "fit".....and would be someplace he could land.....

Can not think of any at the present time.....

Probably going to sit out a year at this point.....

After all.....IU is paying his salary for at least next year.....

Too bad that was in the pre cell phone era. The tape of that would be  valuable.  I beat she was a real screamer.

Nah, as the late great Harry Carey would claim, she was a squirmer.
