I'd be ecstatic

There's an sps thread on eric musselman. Some posters there like him. What you guys think?
My guess is nearly all of what is "out there" is total bs.
I'd be great with Underwood. Alot of experience in the southeast and a short, but sparking resume as a HC...
I wanted NI's Jacobson the first time we where searching... Fingers crossed.
On Underwood...

It isn't quite the uphill battle it was 3 years ago. Rick Ray did clean the program of the stench Stansbury left that kept other coaches from even considering the job.
Does Scott go after Steve Prohm again after he turned the job down twice? I know that Prohm left $1.8 million on the table to stay at Murray State. IMO, he's the guy to go get.
No idea if he gets an offer, but if you read their fan sites he is way down on their list. Rollbamaroll even went as far to say that hiring him would be a "big mistake" in the fact that his credentials aren't even as good as Anthony Grant's were when he was hired, and they know how that turned out. Make no mistake though, he would crawl to Tuscaloosa if offered. I actually think a big reason he turned us down the first time is that he figured Grant's seat was getting warmer so he could wait out for the Bama job. If Stricklin and the powers that be decide he's the guy, they'll most likely at least have to wait for Bama to fill their post before he accepts.
If Keenum is going around telling people he forced Scott to make the move., he needs his ass kicked. I'm sure that Scott discussed it with his boss before doing so, but Keenum I don't believe would force Scott to make the move , not at least without checking with his wife first.
Liverpool....before turning this thread into a "gotcha Coach34" debacle. Try refreshing your ****ing memory on what has been said regarding the subject. KEENUM made the call, not STRICKLIN! Stricklin has previously told all concerned bball boosters that Ray would get another year, hence Ray's comment in the paper and such as having the "confidence" of the administration backing him. Some of those same concerned bball boosters sit on the President's Council or Board, and they have also been working Keenum, thus Keenum TOLD Stricklin that Ray is a fart in the wind.
By the way dumbasses, Keenum is not going around pounding his chest about the situation. Some of the boosters have leaked it. Keenum and Stricklin have a good relationship, but an executive decision always trumps the AD. Nothing personal, just business.
Pivey, if you don't like what you read here. Take your 9 post ,salad tossing ass over to 6 Pack with the rest of the OM crowd and post there!
Wichita also lets Marshall and his family use the school's private jet whenever they want. I don't think he leaves there for anything other than a blue blood job.
The horror.
On a related note, to anyone who thinks this is going to be an easy hire, you need to take a big step back and take a long hard look at the state of our program. Ray left it in shambles, and no highly successful egotistical coach is going to simply say, "hey, **** it, let's try something new over in Starkville." And before you say, "we have the money"....well we really ****ing don't. Basketball is a third sport here, and no big name guy who requires big name money is gonna jump on that.
The assclown has to be a BearShark troll.

Pivey is actually an SECRant troll
And you wonder why some of you paint such a bad picture for the solids posters on here. What I stated is the reality of our situation. It's completely unbiased, 100% true, and needs 0 sources to back it up. But rest assured, cause you must know that I'm just some OM alter coming here from some bullshit "Network". Give it a rest spy kids.
yes, I'm a troll who attends the university he's trolling. Makes perfect sense.
Well actually Piv, it looks like we about to hire a guy with a few Final Fours on his resume- so the job seems to be viewed a lot better now that the Stands Stench is gone
Says the guy who's done nothing but be a total asshole or said nothing but negative things about State in all 12 of his posts. Yeah, no way you aren't a troll.***** At the very least.....

Ray didn't leave the program in shambles. That was Rick Stansbury that left the program in shambles. Rick Ray has made the program presentable once again. Three years ago, no credible coach would have touched this job with a 10 foot pole. Rick Ray was hired to be the fall guy that cleans the program up for the next coach. Rick Ray has made this a program that can now possibly lure a coach the caliber of Ben Howland. Three years ago, Ben Howland would not have given a second thought at this job.
Why has the troll not been banned yet?
Is he providing entertainment for some of you?
That's not even remotely true. I don't know where some of you people get info but it's wrong 90% of the time, look at KB21's bullshit posts here lately, just complete nonsense. And anyone that believe's c34's stuff is a special kind of stupid. He has never been right about anything, he is literally making shit up to make it seem like he knows something but when he's wrong every time people should start realizing that he is never right. Come on people use your brains.
Trolls comin out of the woodwork today...
