I know it is just a game but I feel sick...

Gotta get someone in here quick and at least keep the 3 recruits we have signed if nothing else. We could be in a world of hurt if the new coach is working with 6 scholarships...

I did not see that coming...I figured if a Valley coach was going to UT, it would have been Marshall.

Well, MSU fans, who do you want to replace Cuonzo?

You could be the 3rd valley team to go after Sutton?

Bradley better get cooking, if Marshall leaves my shox it's going to be 3 valley teams battling for coaches at once.

Good for Martin, didn't even take one of his teams to the NCAA's and yet still get's a BCS job, albeit, one which will likely get infractions the first few years...

A lot of fans want Jon Harris, a current assistant. I would be ok with that as he was an assistant at Marquette before he came here. If we could somehow keep Harris, Woodberry, and Williams, it wouldn't be the end of the world...

Good for him. Huge pay increase, and obviously Tennessee had him as their #1 guy the whole time. He's the kind of personality that Tennessee needs after Bruce Pearl. I'm not sure he's really ready for that sort of level of coaching yet (see: InSU, Miami), but go get that money.

And now comes the defining moment in Moats' AD career. Either he makes a good hire here, or he's got to go. And it HAS to be in about the next 72 hours in order to start saving recruiting. If we lose recruits or make a stupid hire here, we start searching for a new AD as well. I'm concerned that they're talking about a search committee. We don't have time for agenda and points of order. You have your list--hire someone. My suggestion: Paul Lusk, asst coach, Purdue. He's ready, especially if Painter bolts for the Cheating Kittens.
