It fits exactly with the theme of hiring Fleck.
"Exactly"? Another myth is born.
It fits exactly with the theme of hiring Fleck.
Why do you think Coyle didn't make a move? Do you think he is that enamored with Pitino or do you think he didn't like his options?
We are going to see far less movement this year than most given the current circumstances. It would be almost impossible for a new coach to come in and not be able to make any recruiting visits, etc. etc. It's a bad time.
This is the likely the actual answer, that we'll never get to hear official.he didn't have support from the Board of Regents to buy 2 contracts out, and pay a new coach.
Oh yes, the media would have been outraged that a rich white boy born with a silver spoon in his mouth loses his job. We all know how victimized this class of people are.Coyle would get destroyed by the National Media had he fired Pitino after the last two seasons. That wouldn't look good to coaching prospects.
Fake narrative.
As is correct: Craig Smith would've come running instantly.
Coyle simply never planned on asking.
If he had asked, CS was a yes. This is an easy, and likely correct assumption to make.You have no idea if Coyle asked or not

Cheap ass regents nipped it.
But there is plenty enough economic certainty to pay Fleck and his staff a huge raise.

Stop the presses, a rich white man got fired !!! Oh the horror!!

I think Pitino's last name carries a lot of weight with fans and the administration. If his name was Richard Anderson, and his record was the same. Would fans still want a year 8? Just wondering. GO GOPHERS!
If he had asked, CS was a yes. This is an easy, and likely correct assumption to make.
If he was a yes, why wait, and then why not just go forward with it, as many schools did a couple days ago? (or was it yesterday, whichever)
That to me proves he did not ask. Which is silly, and makes me think he never planned to ask.
Read what I was responding to, dude!! Really?! Am I not allowed to talk about the media, Rachel Maddow?Dude, what is it with you and "the media", Alex Jones?
You have no idea if Coyle asked or not
He was going to interview him after the season was over. And then the world closed.No it's not, and you don't just hire people without interviewing them.
Fake narrative. Never was a thingIt would have been super awesome if Coyle fired the coach on Thursday and then we couldn't conduct any interviews for the new coach
He would've come running because it's his home. He's not a rock star, but neither was Fleck.We also have no idea whether or not Smith would've come running instantly.
If he is the next rock star college basketball prospect, he would likely have better options.

You guys keep straining to make this way harder than it was. I'll do me.
I don't care if you're forcing yourself not to get it, for sake of discussion, or just because you want to present an affront to me for your own personal amusement. I don't care.You mean not make sense?
Minneapolis isn't Smith's home. That's the one thing I could see being a negative for him. He grew up in a tiny town in far NW Minnesota. The biggest cities he's lived in with his family are Fargo, Lincoln, NE, and Fort Collins CO, all similar size and significantly smaller than Minneapolis.
You have no idea if he wants this job or not, especially when he'll have other opportunities.
The recruiting ban is real, but there's no reason he couldn't have been interviewed. Domestic travel hasn't been banned yet.It would have been super awesome if Coyle fired the coach on Thursday and then we couldn't conduct any interviews for the new coach who also couldn't recruit any players for months. Dang, I wish Coyle was smarter.

You have some serious issues!!Go read Trump's Twitter and have a circle jerk.
Glad you agree there were a lot of movesHuge moves.

Minny would obviously be closer to his family and friends than any other P5 job. He's not going to be picky about a P5 opportunity. He's going to tell Texas "sorry no thanks, I'm waiting for a P5 job in a small town, because that's what myself and my family are used to"?
I fully said that in all my posts. No reason for you to get so defensive.You have no idea what Craig Smith wants or what Coyle has already done or talked to. You're just making assumptions.
