OT: DePaul Hiring Porter Moser?

[nelsonmuntz]

Yeah either Oklahoma caved or the very subtle "I have spoken to NO ONE about any job!!". What about his agent?

Oklahoma caved.

 

[DFW HOYA]

Smart move. Reads as...

1. He's not quitting and giving up a $6.5 million buyout.
2. He's probably got one more year and the SEC dynamic changes things.
3. He's from Chicago and thus would know to steer clear of DePaul.

Question is who leaked info and for what reason? I remember when Lynch was hired as SF GM, it came as a shock to people since there were no leaks...Lynch later said that was test of the organization to see if they could be trusted.

So, did Porter leak something to get Ok to move on things they were dragging their feet on? People get work concessions once their employer knows they have another offer. Or, did DePaul do it out of exuberance...not realizing they could screw it all up by leaking? Seems like the former is more likely to me.

Porter’s people leaked it. That’s the only scenario that makes sense.

moser hasn't been fired or forced to retire at a power conference school yet.

once he does that, he becomes a prime candidate to step down a level to a CL school (mid major).

Please help me ……trying to find the game between the 14th vs 11th place teams in big 12, not able to… can you tell me who is winning?

His Wikipedia page already has him as DePaul's HC at a salary of $3.08 million.

The last 2 years went horrendous for Holtmann. But before that I thought he was a good coach. He had 3 top 30 KenPom years at Butler in his 3 years there.

Someone can change this thread title or start a new one. Holtmann has proven he can coach in the BEast but DePaul is a tall task. They’re going to need him to develop talent, and fast. Nobody in the portal is going to want to go there.

They need to keep the interim guy. DePaul took Villanova to the wire. Their kids played hard.

 

[controlfade]

Depaul should have won that game, Villanova's coach should be sweating bullets right now

 

[Mr. French]

Trilly has Depaul hiring Chris Holtmann, as of this morning.

[husky429]

Hey man, you never answered last time so I figured I'd shoot my shot again. How does 11th in the conference feel? We wouldn't know.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

I think Holtmann is a very good coach. Bad news for Bobby Hurley.

 

[Drew]

This is a good hire for DePaul and Holtmann should have success stepping down to a less competitive/visible league. Nice hire for them.

A less competitive league.

From the other thread.

Starting from a much, much, much lower place (Butler was bad year before Holtmann got there, but it was only 1 year removed from Brad Stevens).

We'll see if he can get them to be a top 100 team in 2 years.

 

[freescooter]

This would be awesome for them, it’s definitely gonna wake up and move the needle with the “fan base”, I still think DePaul can be somewhat of a sleeping giant

Yeah I heard both fans were really pumped.

As for a sleeping giant, I suggest checking for a pulse.
