I won't believe it until it happens, but if Moser ends up at DePaul, that's a GRAND SLAM of a hire for DePaul.

Great for the Big East, too.

Dan Hurley
Greg McDermott
Shaka Smart
Shaheen Holloway
Rick Pitino
Thad Matta
Sean Miller

That's a good set coaches who are program builders and have interesting personalities.

This would be a dream hire for them. Proven coach, local and probably 10 years of coaching left in him. I figured they'd have to hire some unproven upstart or a has-been.

Hasn’t it been said Sean Miller is getting hired by OSU at end of season?
 
Anything that helps DePaul to become competitive is good
 
The bar is low, like on the ground … he just needs to win one big east game and four overall for a successful season

no miller and dusty baker were mentioned as their top choices and it should be dusty

Dusty Baker just retired from managing the Astros ;)

I think you mean the current Florida Atlantic coach Dusty May.

Just the standard rumors but we the public don't know for sure. Greg McDermott, Creighton's head coach was rumored as well, but he just signed an extension with Creighton.

My guess is he hasn't liked his time down in Norman. It's a football school where he has to beg the fans to show up, he didn't sign up for the SEC, and he misses home.

DePaul is a disaster but if he can turn it around he's a hero in Chicago and it will become a hard ticket to get. Obviously it's a much bigger hill to climb but think Shaka leaving Texas for Marquette.

Oklahoma has a solid basketball tradition. They’ve been to a number of Final Fours, most recently in 2016. Been the the championship game too a while back around 1990. OU is different than Texas and some of those other B12 schools. Football is #1 but Basketball is a pretty big deal. Actually it is in Oklahoma generally. They and Ok State have long and pretty successful traditions. Basketball is a much bigger deal there than Texas. And they definitely don’t beg people to go to games, at least when they are good. I was there for a game against Kansas a few years back and the place was packed and rocking. They know the game.

What I suspect is Moser is a good coach at the MVC level who is a bit over his head/comfort zone at OU. He has struggled to win the the B12. That was a pretty huge jump. I don’t get why moving to the SEC would be an issue. Arguably not as tough as the B12.
 
Moser must really not trust his AD if he is doing this. It is possible that DePaul flirted with Bobby Hurley to get Moser to move. If so, well played by DePaul.

This would be a nice hire both for DePaul and Moser for a few reasons. Good coaches mentioned above with a few of them having long term contracts so there’s that stability and commitment. Moser has nowhere to go but up so if he improves their record to 8-12 in conference that’s improvement. He’s familiar with the city and can most likely recruit the local kids to play there. I also have to wonder if the return and success of UConn to the big east raises all boats.

How much do you have to hate living in Oklahoma to take the job at DePaul?

Have you ever been to Oklahoma? Awful place.

I'll never forget a recruit who visited there, can't remember who it was but I think he was from Texas. He came back home and one of the recruiting services asked him about the visit. The first thing he said was, "It smelled really weird." That's the way to win kids over! Lol

I really can't think of a better coach that DePaul could have gotten within the realm of availability and possibility.
 
Well I think this puts the rumors in the grave. Can't imagine he would go out of his way to post this and then end up leaving.

He never even had to respond to or acknowledge the rumors like this. The fact that he went out of his way to do so tells me he's staying. Also, this whole thing makes no sense. Only reason for this to happen would be his Chicago ties. OU is a much better job than DePaul.

Their season isn't over yet.

It may well be merely conjecture on someone's part that ran wild but regardless of what really is going on, the tweet had to say what it did.

Please come back to this and tell me I was right when this absolutely bizzare move from a rising program to one of the worst D1 basketball programs for decades doesn't happen. Literally potential career suicide in the making if he takes the DePaul job.

Not that I'm comparing them or even saying Moser will definitely be at DePaul, but I just think it's a pretty meaningless tweet. Calipari gave this interview 2 weeks before he went to Kentucky

Big difference between being asked a question by the media and being forced to acknowledge the rumors vs. specifically going out of your way to address them on your own accord through a social media post. The OU fanbase will literally want the guy dead if he leaves now after making that post lol. He must have the worst optics in the world if he made this post and is still going to leave.
