That's sort of my thought. We'll be pitching Moser against Depaul. If not I'd wager Craig smith, maybe Pat Kelsey, can't imagine they'd go with the Cleveland st guy. Exciting tenure but not enough there to make a splash.

Kelsey is a good guy, good coach and intriguing candidate. Wouldn't make a big splash, but I do think he is an up and coming young coach.

If we go after a existing head coach from a P6 conference, Mike Boynton?

If an assistant, would we consider young up and comers like Jordan Mincy, or Ulric Maligi.

I think some have worried Boyton was squirmy, or was that just Underwood?  But they are closely linked.

His salary is pretty damn low but you'd think they would match a significant raise if someone came calling

I thought I would bring a name into this conversation that probably is the one if he wants it, remember this when they pick him, Travis Diener, do not be surprised!

I think he may be clouded a little due to the Underwood and Lamont Evans connections, but to the best of my knowledge, never once was he actually implicated or connected to any wrong doing. And he has done a great job at Oklahoma State, and does have a low salary.

I agree, Oklahoma State would likely match with a significant raise, but may be worth at least kicking the tires.

He's also originally from Brooklyn, so may like the idea of the Big East.

Beilein in would be my first choice but if not Dennis Gates would probably be one of my second choices and someone mentioned on this site mentioned Dennis Gates was an assistant to Tom Crean at Marquette.

Smith and Moser top my list of best "reasonable" candidates. Of course would love Beilein or Matta.
Hard to argue with that.
1. Beilein
2. Kelsey
3. Matta
4. Moser
5. Gates
6. Smith

Plenry others mentioned that are intriguing as well...I like the pool.  I wouldn't hate Archie Miller, but I understand the concerns.  Goodman mentioning Oates and Smart seemed like a geographical thing...but I respect Goodman.

100%. Selfishly I hope they lose on Sunday and he's sitting in the Al on Monday.

I don't know about the sitting at the Al part, but the first part of your wish will come true.

This is a good thought out list. I like your list. Moser would probably cost a bundle but I like him next to Beilein and Gates. I like Smith too.

Has anyone mentioned Beilein?

Don't underestimate the Jesuit connection. 

A boy can dream, no?

If MU wanted to talk to Dennis Gates, they can start tomorrow.  Just got beat by 30.

Tinkle is two games over .500 in seven seasons at OSU.  That is seriously doubtful

I wouldn't hold it against him. Turned around a horrible Cleveland state program in 2 years. Connections to Marquette, Chicago, wouldn't be stunned if Jerel McNeal got involved. Florida State assistant for 8 years, only two bad years there with multiple seasons better than the best wojo season.

I don't think it'll be Shaka, but did find it interesting that his name was the first Goodman mentioned.

Like I said back in February... certain former players will be very happy if it's Gates.

Oh please

Like Shaka would leave Texas to come to
MU ?? lollll

Plus ... until this year, he's done ZIP

Don't overlook Wayne Tinkle Jr. He is Oregon States HC and just won the Pac 12 Tourney and beat #5 Tennessee today. His father whose name is also Wayne Tinkle, was Dean of Men at Marquette in the 60s.

And he's never coached outside or Montana or Oregon. Not happening.

He immediately mentioned Oats after. So I assumed he had no clue and was just saying spicy names for buzz

He listed a bunch of guys with Midwest ties. I'd love if they are options, but I doubt it.

Updated Athletic story lists Belein, Smith, Stan, Moser, Gates, Ward and McKay as the leading candidates.  Says Moser and McKay are the most likely.

Brian Hamilton is a solid reporter and he knows Marquette well. He spoke repeatedly about the quality of the Marquette basketball job, calls it an extremely attractive opening.

I noticed that too.

Well, guys, I'm doing my part at the OTB, lol.


So, my Italian friend from Highwood knows Pitino personally.
About a month ago I overheard them talking on the phone.
I told my friend, "next time you talk to Rick, ask him to please come to Marquette if we have an opening in the next year." 

So the next time they talked, my bud goes, "Coach Pitino said Marquette is a great school and basketball program."

FWIW, they spoke again today, no talk of MU, but Rick thinks he can take the air out of the ball and "shorten the game" vs Alabama.

Tempted to take the 16.5 and the under.
Zenyatta has a lot....a lot... of ground to make up. She gets there from here she'd be a super horse......what's this.....Zenyatta hooked to the grandstand side....Zenyatta flying on the outside....this....is...un-belieeeeeevable!...looked impossible at the top of the stretch...

This is the kind of take we could use more of! Under looks appealing.

"Take it" with a grain of salt, and a warning. It's 100% true, but just know I've gotten beat on the wire🐴 over ten times the last few days. 🐎

Coffee-Cake Face and Eddie Moysh must be staring at my picks 😂
Have fun. Don't bet the 🏡
