That is all.
Worst kept secret this season.
I'd love to somehow get Murrell and hubbard
The timing is interesting. Makes me think they really going after wade or beard. Lock em up early
Come on home Hubbard
I don't think it's Beard. Dusty May makes too much sense. He has no baggage, he's an up and coming young coach, and Keith Carter's best friend is Mike White. Mike White's brother is Danny White who is the AD at FAU AND May was on White's staff at Florida.Quote:

I hope you're right. I don't want beard at OM. I think beard is perhaps the best coach in MBK now that wright is gone.Quote:

I didn't think about pew; he's probably the best imo considering he's not a P5 coach. Drew and Sampson can't claim 70+ winning % in regular season and tourney play like self and beard. If you talking career, calipari is certainly better, but not right now.
My top 6:
1. Pew
2. Self
3. Beard
4. Sampson
5. Drew
6. Bennett
Danny White is AD at Tennessee. FAU's AD is Brian White, but I don't think he's related to them.Quote:

But what Drew has done at Baylor, and especially the fact that he actually won a title, to me puts him clearly ahead of those 2.
And Few doesn't have a title, which makes it hard to put him at #1, but I'm ok with it because of the sustained excellence there. He didn't have to fully build them the way Drew did at Baylor (and obviously Self didn't at Kansas, either), so I'd be ok with someone having Self or Drew at #1 as well.
You're right Brian White is the FAU AD. He is related to them all though. He, Danny, and Mike are all brothers.Quote:

I think winning a title in basketball has a lot of luck involved, so I just look for consistent success in the tourney even if they don't win it all.
Or, realistically, any other small college town that rotates around the school including but not limited to Tuscaloosa.Quote:

Gone are the day where an average basketball coach like Stansbury can win in the SEC. Too many good coaches and too much talent coming to the conference now. Paul Mills is probably who I would hire that would be realistic for Ole Miss and has a good track record, although I hope they don’t get someone that good
Thread on NAFOOM with upset Webels that in addition to million$ owed to Kermit, may be clause in contract that Kermit serves as an ambassador for OM at $900K per for a couple of years. If true, Keith Carter a real winner at AD, especially after extending Kermit recently.
That sucks.
Kermit was perfect for the bears.
I told you guys ole miss were using the grove collective on coaches alsoQuote:

Wade is their top target. Has been for weeks. It's a perfect match. He's egotistical scum who will lie, steal, and cheat to get what he wants. They are identical in every way.Quote:
