Not at all wrong.

But as has been said, NW Ark is not the deep south. It's like STL. Lot of money, probably a fair amount of transplants because of three Fortune 500 companies there, not to mention Walmart being top 5(?) and the University as well.

Walmart is global 1. NW Ark is nice. Beautiful lakes, etc.

I’m probably alone on here but I’m not excited about hiring any of the names that have been thrown out in this thread. We need a newsworthy hire with headlines that catch the attention of recruits. I’m prepared for major disappointment and another 3-4 years of excuses for poor play while the new coach is establishing their “system”. Barring something hugely unexpected, this is most likely our reality.

Firing Pitino entailed considerable risk. He's just as good or better coach than the replacement names being mentioned. I wish he had not underperformed this year as the team was looking good for next season.

People don't own rumors and information. The GI folks really need to get over that. People pay the premium to hear it FIRST or to have interactions with the people giving that information. They aren't paying for the info. Once it's out, it's out.

Could you imagine a newspaper being pissed because someone recapped an article to someone else?

YES

I actually kinda agree here (not on the "better" part, but the risk part). But if you're Coyle and sitting in the stands watching the lack of tactics and adjustments, he had to make a move (8 years remember). Looking at teams like UCSB last night also reminds everyone what is SO hard about building some depth and a decent bench. Gophers had ONE serviceable big man, and it took a darn near last minute xfer to achieve that. Coyle had to make this move. Now we wait to see who he gets.
 


Shaka will likely be the next Marquette coach given his local roots.
 

I’m starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel where I’m not spending an hour catching up on this thread after taking a few hours off from it.

I’m then looking forward to spending hours catching up on people complaining about the new hire or staying it was their first choice the entire time.

I don't think anyone here has mentioned Kelsey yet. Could this be one of the mystery candidates that have been teased?

Hopefully not. I need to see more than doing well a few times in a low-major conf.

Chris Mack was mentioned. That would be a homerun hire. Never gonna happen, but it would be the type of hire you mentioned, yes?

Didn’t see him mentioned but the answer to your question would be “yes”.

It would appear that our candidates are more than likely out of the tournament then.

Niko still in NIT and they don't play again until Thurs.

He probably needed to win the MWC to get on the short list. Oh well, is what it is. Expecting he'll continue the upward trend the next couple years.
 

Justin Gaard on Twitter:
Been an eventful weekend in the Gopher coaching search, I’m expecting the new coach to be named early this week.

The "info" doesn't belong to them.

Such a silly, silly concept.

"I did literally zero to earn the information that was given to me ... it was just given, for nothing. But now I'm going to pretend like I invented it and it's my property!"

To them: you're gifted a product and then you turn around and profit off it. F off

Wow, are you really this big a tool?
 


Gates' press conference is scheduled for Tuesday morning at 10.

Book it.
 

The University totally, entirely, absolutely owns and controls the information about who they are going to hire.

They should be the only ones to get to profit off that information, to be quite honest.
