He wouldn’t be going to take over Shea Ralph’s just vacated position, right?

No I can’t picture that happening. For one I feel like it would be awkward and two I don’t think he fit the job description that was posted.

I could be wrong. Crazier things have happened. Just my take on it

Sounds like he just didn't want to travel so much anymore. The school is going to take care of him.

I'd be shocked if Hurley's first call wasn't to Leitao.

Do you have information that suggests this? The reports thus far do not imply this whatsoever.

That this came out late on a Friday and the story is a bit vague and odd doesn't bode well. This reeks of dumping a story hoping it flies under the radar.

This wouldn't be surprising. It could be totally innocuous, but vague, late Friday news dumps are always suspicious.

Leitao seemed overly friendly and admirable towards Hurley after that last game where we blew them out. He knew he was going to be fired. I think he wants back in.

How is Leitao as a recruiter?

He brought excellent talent to DePaul. Big strong guys. Just can’t coach em. Great assistant tho. Probably Hurleys first call I’d assume. But depending on buyout terms idk he would be paid like a 3rd of his former salary.
 
The staying with the university is the weirdest part. I could see him going if he got a head coaching gig at a small school or something but leaving MBB but still staying at the university? Something's up.

Edit: See his reasoning in posts below. He wanted more time to spend with his family.

why is everyone going with this "something's up" narrative?

we already know he wasn't the best coach in the world. we had a sudden departure and it was very easy to get him in quickly. makes total sense to say "we don't think you meet the standards of what we're looking for as an assistant, but we really want you involved in the AD."

So instead of traveling around recruiting all the time, he's going to make six figures to chill out and show off his national championship ring while he hangs out with rich alumni who worship him. Yeah this move is starting to make a lot of sense.

Do we really "know" any of that? By the way, the scenario you describe is Kelis Fisher being fired as a coach, that would constitute "something being up."

Well you can read Freeman`s own comments on the move and see nothing is up
