I mean, mid-season? Yeah, I am a little surprised.
Haven't both Dan & Bobby come out publicly saying they will never coach against each other in the same conference?Bobby Hurley is on the short list per Trilly.

Especially since Louisville hasn't canned Payne.
Oh, dude was clearly getting the axe. I just don't know what it gets you to do that during the college basketball season rather than during the NFL season.Watching them get absolutely crushed by a Hopkins-less Providence at home in front of dozens of people, I thought to myself, this guy is dead man walking. At a certain point you can't keep a guy. Saw that with the Chargers after the Raiders blew them out.
Louisville has a higher pain tolerance, I guess.
I agree with both you and tzzandrew. I am not surprised at all that he got fired, I just thought it would be at the end of the season. Doing it in the middle of the season is surprising. I know he is probably financially doing well, but I feel bad for him. However, he wasn't getting it done there.
Who knows for sure why it happened mid season? Maybe some internal strife that we the public don't know?Oh, dude was clearly getting the axe. I just don't know what it gets you to do that during the college basketball season rather than during the NFL season.
But, I mean, it was going to (and needed to) happen, so no time like the present...
I almost feel an AHC position at UConn is better than the Depaul job.I highly doubt that either would turn down a high-paying job regardless of where their sibling is coaching.
That being said, I doubt Bobby wants anything to do with the dumpster fire that is Depaul basketball.
That is the death knell so to speak. When people stop showing up that is a sign of apathy-people don't care about your program or see it as worth their time.Watching them get absolutely crushed by a Hopkins-less Providence at home in front of dozens of people, I thought to myself, this guy is dead man walking.

I am sure you are reading the official attendance correctly, but whoever gave that attendance to become officially recorded is cooking the books, at least that is what I am betting on. I saw that Providence-DePaul game and I could hear Stubblefield and Kim English loud and clear shouting instructions from their bench.Official attendance was 2,889. I'd be surprised if half that many people were there in the 2nd half.
DePaul should be Chicago's premier college team. The potential is there. Why nobody has tapped into it since Joey Meyer got fired is beyond me.

I'd actually to be totally open to that.Give Will Wade the job. Make DePaul a scummy program and get them to national relevance so I can visit for an away game and be entertained.
