Porter Moser should be the guy

[cheebs09]

What is Moser's source of wealth?  I keep hearing that he's financially independent.

I saw that on the Minnesota board when looking at their coaching search.

A quick Google search says his dad was a developer and philanthropist in Naperville. This article makes it seem like the family is pretty well known in the area.

His family owns half of Naperville.  Presumably the good half.  I've heard him described as a Trust Fund Kid...who just happens to be really successful in a completely unrelated field.

As opposed to the great half?

Which half is the one that claims it is Chicago (see, the "Hilton of Naperville-Chicago")

The above statement in bold isn't a fact, right? But just your opinion?

It sounds like you're asserting that this is a fact.

Its an opinion supported by facts.

The Few analogy is close, but IMHO there is still room to sway Moser even if money isn't his biggest motivator.

From what I can tell, Few makes ~2M and lives in Spokane. That basically gives him more money then he'll ever need for a very comfortable life in the place he calls home.

According to the article below, Moser makes ~1.1M and lives in the Chicago area. That allows him to live very comfortably in a great neighborhood...but doesn't necessarily give him lifelong security in that neighborhood. Doubling it to ~2M or more would make a huge difference. Not necessarily to make him the richest guy on the block (it probably wouldn't), but to give him the security to know he can stay there if he wants.

I have no idea where this goes, but it still seems like there is financial wiggle room, even if Moser doesn't need to be 'rich.'

Good stuff, Gooooooooooo.

Obviously, we don't know what's going on in Moser's head - or in his bank account (or brokerage account). So we'll get to see because we aren't the only that's gonna be offering.

Thanks for the info, too lazy to use the Google machine this morning.

Father owned a lumber company and was a real estate developer in the Naperville area.

Great! Bland cookie cutter = no bueno. MU has the untucked tradition, I vastly prefer an odd bird. We need to stand out, not blend in.

You got that right, Marquette has a problem with normal.

Perfect - moser already meets Scoops number one criteria for a coach.  They must have the ability to adopt and fund the education of a student athlete when faced with lack of scholarships.

This will be perfect bc we've also assumed his family will stay behind in Chicago and he'll be in a downtown condo.  His new son / player will be able to keep him company. 

[Hards Alumni]

Music to my ears! Want him even more now.

It's been more than 4 hours, you should probably seek medical attention

We can't let this opportunity slip by us.  Come-on Scoop, grab your pens, its time.

I'll just be happy if the next coach actually uses the 13 scholarships allotted to them!! Wojo certainly didn't think it was necessary, yet we had depth issues every year!!

[Warrior_2002]

Based on all I've seen and heard about Moser, he's my number one choice.  Even seems like a guy that could decide that MU is a final stopping place which we've had a hard time with here and have always wanted.  We have to be a destination to desire for someone to stay at for the long haul.  The resources are fantastic and the proximity to Chicago with a big time conference...how and who can we get to build this program for more than a few years without worrying about departure?  Moser seems like he could be the best fit to being that guy.

Bingo!

That always frustrated me. Maybe it's my memory being cloudy, but we seemed to have a lot of 10-11 player rosters. It helps with a midseason transfer, but always seemed like we weren't playing with a full deck.

That and rarely filling our schedule.

Yes, absolutely!

I know some say Wojo was a good recruiter, but part being a good recruiter is filling your roster with adequate depth and developmental guys. Wojo definitely failed in that regard.

I think any man likes to accumulate as much wealth as they can on their own.  Sense of pride besides daddy's money.

[Blackhat]

Could be wrong though.  I've never inherited millions.

[rocky_warrior]

I've never inherited millions.

Big mistake on your part.

Billions?

If he is trust fund child.....He sure does not show it......

He lives in Wilmette in a new house he bought a few years back after he got his raise at Loyola.....The old house sold for mid 1's....for Wilmette that is small....The new house seems to be much nicer.....His family looks to range from a teenage daughter to sons in the 7 to 12ish area....

Living on the North Shore....and family are major concerns we need to overcome.....Should not be a problem if this is a "coveted" opportunity knowing what the final destination would be....

We shall see.....Have my brother-in-law....the priest....put in a Good word with the big guy.....and see what happens.....

If it is the right fit......It will happen.....

Again these are not tough issues to overcome. He gets a condo in MKE for late nights and commutes the rest of the time. It'd be different if he lived in city itself, or the west, or southwest suburbs because then you're pitching him uprooting his family but in the North shore he's not far away from MKE
