Few things. People who keep bringing up BYU, that really has nothing to do with the coach himself. Their billionaire booster told them to hire his best friend and he'd pay for everything. That just doesn't apply here.

For the Medved/Saunders/Smith group, ask yourself would say Cal/TCU/FSU whatever mid table P5 team hire this guy? The answer for these guys is hell no. Quit the MN thing, it means literally nothing. 40 years ago sure it did, today it means zip. Those guys should not even be close to considered.

As far as other successful coaches at similar ish level spots, remember sometimes it's about a fresh start for security. A good example, Enfield going from USC to SMU and Muss from Ark to USC. Those guys were successful but bought themselves a fresh start and new contract. I think McDermott, Brownell, maybe even Tommy Lloyd might be thinking they are in a hot enough seat they want to get out early.

With Smith they already did, Medved Im a little bit surprised he hasn't had some more interest. It's not easy to get multiple at large bids in a mid major. Saunders I doubt it. You could argue Craig smith coming here would fall in your last category.Look at Otz, crushing it at Iowa State, Medved and Smith were coaching circles around him when he was at UNLV

I'd make Shaka say no but he's also from Milwaukee, but if the BoR lets Coyle spend $4-5 million could be interesting. Even if he says no that's probably what it's going to take to get a good coach especially if 3-4 other big ten jobs open up

He’s actually from Oregon, a town about 10 miles south of Madison. But regardless of where he’s from in Wisconsin, he ain’t coming to Minnesota.
