That takes a pretty attractive job off the table for Tier 1-a to Tier 2 candidates, aka Porter Moster.

Also, add another top-notch HC getting out of college athletics since the start of and primarily due to NIL when they still have years left and gas in the tank. Bennett, Jay Wright, Saban, Jim Larranga... and that's not counting the ones who have retired a little earlier, or moved to assistant roles.

It's why a GM is no longer a luxury position- need it to not only competitively manage a roster in this era but to also prevent coaches from burning out.

I'm not sure that pm even sniffed tier-3 or lower jobs lol. No one was ever interested in him but his agent got his name out there a lot

In 2 years, as the inside scoop said, when McDermott decides to retire. If PM makes the tourney both years, maybe grabs a tournament win, he would be the type of candidate that would be attractive for it. A coach who improves a program in the SEC would definitely be a low Tier 1/Tier 2 coach for a successful Big East program.

I agree that his agent and Lusk promoted him more than people contacted him, and I'm not saying he would be the choice today. But he could be in a year or two.

Well see.. given his history of making the tourney 3 times out of 21 years.. it would require a significant upward turn to make it even 1 more time out of 2 years

I still laugh every time I read that thread title that says "PM to Villanova?"

"hoopsaustin for president 2028?" Same vibe
