[What if he goes. . .]

I personally do not believe Majerus is going anywhere but in the interest of playing along, some possible coaching candidates. My criteria? Not much except they're listed as candidiates for other head coaching positions at schools with some basketball pedigree.

Harvard coach Tommy Amaker,

Marquette assistant Tony Benford,

Duke assistant Jeff Capel

St. John's assistant Mike Dunlap,

Southern Miss coach Larry Eustachy,

New Mexico State coach Marvin Menzies,

Weber State coach Randy Rahe

Colorado State assistant Craig Smith.

Virginia coach Tony Bennett,

Former SMU coach Matt Doherty

you're kidding about Doh, right?

What media source is reporting this? I live in the Metroplex (though I'm currently out of the country).

I've been told the NBC affiliate in SL is reporting it now.

[RickMa and SMU]

SMU fan here.

Several media sources are reporing that you guys have nothing to worry about as RM is staying at SLU.

Good commentary on here, although some of the posters don't really know anything other than SMU is in Dallas (and not Ft. Worth as one poster thinks).

Overall, you guys were much more civil in your comments than the guys on the Marquette board when we were still trying to lure Buzz away from them. They had a pretty pi$$y attitude about the whole thing.

A lot of us would have been pretty excited about getting him down here, though. We haven't been to the Dance since '93. We'll have our arena updated in about 15 months thanks to a few generous booster donations, so the commitment is there as we head into the Beast. We have a few good recruits on board, along with a few freshmen who showed some flashes this year. So things are starting to head in the right direction (assuming that we hire a coach at some point, which some of us are starting to wonder about).

Either way, best of luck. Y'all seem to really like your coach, so you can rest easy it sounds like.
