Pat Forde on WMVP

[LastWarrior]

Weber to MU was just him talking aloud.

Horn would have been the perfect fit (thanks Crean)

No O'Neil or Majerus to MU

Probably a mid-major HC or top assistant

A lot of email to WMVP from MU folks saying he was classless in not telling recruits or administration he was leaving.  What is Forde's opinion?

Forde is personal friend of Crean (so here is another media-type blowing Crean).  Forde was shocked it went down so quickly.  They're gonna sit down tomorrow to talk about timeline.  These things never go down well but he'd be surprised if Crean didn't tell players (apparently Forde is clueless of what really went down).

Overall... uninformed media type who is a friend of Crean who added absolutely no new information or insight.  Worthless interview (not shocking considering the bozos doing the interview).

why not get the best of both worlds here with the extra money we have?

hire a solid head coach from outside the university... figuring that we won't be paying him much over 1 mil.  then take the money you saved and bump up Buzz's salary to make him want to stay on as a recruiter and assistant.  then everyone is happy.  we have a new x's and o's head coach and all the kids come because buzz is still on staff.

How else does one talk?

Doesn't work that way...what if the new head man doesn't want him?

I heard the interview too. I'm not surprised at how piss poor the interview went down. I hate Waddle and Silvy.

Unless the new guy has his own pipeline of recruits transferring to MU immediately, why would he say no?

I mentioned that idea in another thread, but I'm not so sure it is feasible.  I don't see how we keep the guy as an assitant if Crean wants him.  Unless we REALLY pay ($350K or something) for him.  I don't think Indiana will be too keen on taking the assistant's that previosuly worked under Sampson, but they'd probably be fine if he brought Williams along.  Williams staying pat at MU while a lower on the food chain coach takes over is really a sort of demotion for him, though there are many who may disagree.  Maybe if you call him the associate head coach or something.  (Was he that already?)
