DePaul lawsuit involving AD

[LloydsLegs]

Thank goodness.  A chance for that program to turn the page.

If true the Sleeping Giant will soon be awaken.

Hope not...hoping they get another AD that doesn't care about BB results. DePaul is just fine the way they are.

Lol you guys all think she was the problem (hmmm... what could be the reason...). If they cared about men's basketball winning she would've been fired long ago.

I would think this certainly means Leitao's days are numbered.

Good point. It starts at the top.

Had dinner with a connected DePaul guy before the @ DeP game. About 8 of us. Guy said Leito will get an extension, and JLP is gone. Everyone laughed.
He took some crap from DeP and MU alums. He said just wait.

I remember your Post very well, I tried to confirm but could not.  Thanks for your post.

Sure.  I've heard this for 25 years or so.  I'll believe it when I see it.

Have the names of any potential replacements surfaced? I don't know much about how AD searches work, but I assume there are similarities to coaching searches. Doubt DePaul can get a current AD from a big program, so their candidate pool is current ADs at lower level schools or deputy ADs from bigger programs.

The sent out a press release saying they will run a national search.  I think the quality of candidate will depend on how much leeway they give them to make changes.

Go after Loyola's?

Great time for the Big Donors to put the Pressure On.

DePaul fans are clamoring for John McDonough...the former CEO of the Chicago Blackhawks that was just recently fired. I mean, why don't they just clamor for Brad Stevens to be their Coach too??

Why shouldn't they think big and not settle in

Why should DePaul settle for mediocrity

[muguru]

Why shouldn't they think big and not settle in

Why should DePaul settle for mediocrity

Because they have to..they are below a mediocre program. Big difference when comparing DePaul to 100's of other D1 school's.

No, they don't

[muguru]

No, they don't

Yes they do...I'm not doing this with you Rico...you just do crap like this just to start crap. They are DuhPaul..they need to stay in their lane and realize who they are..Terry Cummings ain't walking back through that door. They will land some Associate AD at a power 5 program, or more likely an AD at a low/mid major. They can dream all they want. Reality is a completely different animal.

Reality is a completely different animal.  I agree

McDonough???  Does he have any experience in an academic environment?  Kind of necessary, isn't it?

[The Sultan]

Not really.  A number of ADs have come from professional sports or the business world. Be willing how to operate in an academic environment and have a good assistant who can manage that aspect, and you will be fine.

McDonough would be a fantastic get for DePaul.  With his background in marketing, etc., I think he could make a huge difference there.

And the idea that he wouldn't take that job may not be accurate.  Lifelong Chicago resident.  Lifelong Catholic.  In his mid 60s, he could put a good five to seven years there to get things going in the right direction. 

EDIT:  Plus the school gave him an honorary degree last year so he likely already knows the President.

Can you come out and say what you think is the reason that I think she is the problem please?

[muguru]

Just thinking out loud, this wouldn't be a job Broeker would entertain, would it?? I would certainly hope not.

[The Sultan]

I can't believe marine that DePaul would ever hire Marquette's assistant AD.
