Sid: I was told by U official that they will interview Flip

[BleedGopher]

per Sid:

I was told by a Gophers athletic department official that they will interview him about the coaching vacancy.

It would be a great hire, having been a Gophers assistant for five seasons from 1981-86, and his naming would be a popular choice. But Saunders might prefer to coach again in the NBA.

Maybe the best bet, if they can pay him a competitive salary, is former Virginia Commonwealth assistant Anthony Grant, who is now head coach at Alabama.

Maybe they fired Tubby knowing that Flip wanted the job, and Shaka was willing to consider it, and that there were others also interested.

So they fire Tubby, and make their push to get Shaka.

Now that the push to get their #1 candidate didn't work, they are going to interview all of the rest of the guys on their short list, Grant, Saunders, whoever else, and then make a decision?

I hope this bodes well for Flip. I hope all those big money donors they called the other day told NT they'd definitely donate if they hired Flip, and might donate if they hired someone else, but only depending on who that someone else was?

Now Flip just needs to WOW NT in his interview and just maybe?!
