This is not ending well for Tony Stubblefield.

I'm sure he's feeling very blue, blue right now.

Blown out by a bunny. Wow. Looking like a Q4 road game.

Never had a lead. Oof.

[Tyler COLEk]

I'd say it's going to be a long year for Blue Demon fans, but rightfully nobody from DePaul is paying attention. Obviously Stubblefield needs to go after this season.

Did it start well?

BE needs to have serious conversations about their commitment to basketball. Every year I think it can't get more pathetic, yet here we are.

I think they're committed to basketball. They hired an athletic director from outside the DePaul community in Peevy, but he just made a terrible hire in Stubblefield. Brew said that they just hire too many older guys when what the program needs is a young guy with some energy - a Kevin O'Neill or Tom Crean type of hire.

They could have hired Jon Scheyer and took Stubblefield instead.  We can say what we want about Scheyer but I bet that program is a lot more competitive with him there and even if he leaves, a foundation gets laid.  Just a disastrous decision

How about Stan Johnson?

How about Stan Johnson?

I like Stan too much to wish the DePaul head coaching job on him...

[Uncle Rico]

Eh.  Middling at LMU so far.  Largely a west coast guy.

According to brew - they're probably one competent marketing department hire away from filling the place.

I'm in the put up or shut up camp for DePaul. Their extended track record speaks contrary towards any sort of serious commitment to hoops.

Serious question- what, if anything, can the BE realistically do to nudge, encourage, push DePaul? I see no way (again, realistically) that DePaul can be expelled. They really need to go to the Missouri Valley Conference where they might be able to win enough games that they would not need to lie about their attendance numbers at Wintrust. The program is such a train wreck!

If the rumors are true regarding Coach Blue Blue's hire, he got the job partially because he was willing to take their relatively low pay offer. If true, that's a Hell of a way to try to refloat a ship that is near sinking.

[The Sultan]

DePaul's going nowhere. Stubbs will be fired and hopefully they make a good hire.

Every conference has bottom feeders.  You'd hope DePaul alum and athletic department would be embarrassed by their flagship program but maybe not

The Bradley Braves have started their season 7-0. Mr. Wardle has received a contract extension , reportedly to 2029, Has the program averaging about 5,000 a game for home games at Carver Arena. Seems like he is enjoying life in Peoria and it may be hard for DePaul to hire a Coach of his quality and track record.

To turn DePaul around it will take a coach like Mr. Wardle who can operate out of strategic plan that has worked before in less than attractive situations.

Good for Wardle.  He's a good guy ...

As someone said above ( re: Stan ) I would not wish that job on him.

And ... I watched a few mins last night ....
2,700 (?) lolllll ... more like 1,000.  Max

I can't think of a worse high major program in the country. Much of the reason is because they chose to put absolutely no effort into the basketball program

There actually are a lot of Louisville people who believe they will target Shaka after they fire Payne.  Im not worried about him leaving but Marquette will need pony up again next offseason just to be safe.

There's a better chance I'm coaching Louisville next year
