AnkielBreakers Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Travis Ford would be a good hire for them. I honestly think he has a high Low Bar for success, but he also seems to have a low High Bar. As long as they are not focused on being exceptional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMM28 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 The word on the street is that they made the fire early in order to line up a better NIL program to recruit a better coach. It’s an interesting approach. Can’t raise funds with a lame duck bad coach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMM28 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 I assume DePaul will make a swing at some big names and miss. Then they'll take a swing and miss on the broadcast/out of work dudes. Then they'll come back down to someone like Bryce Drew, Schertz, Wardle, or Becker. Schertz makes peanuts at Indiana State so he's probably the most realistic of those dudes. Becker also makes peanuts but he is an east coast lifer. If Schertz finishes the year strong, he'll have better offers than DePaul though. I think any coach needs to extract a 12 million over 6 year deal that has some hellacious buyout number in years 1-3. It could be career suicide to go there. Or it could be a king making type job. But thats a 90/10 split for sure. brianstl and MusicCityBilliken like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why can't we have nice things too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
