Apparently Willard missed the Sweet 16 team dinner...he gone
Fans Outraged as Maryland HC Kevin Willard Skips Team Dinner Amid Villanova Rumors
Maryland HC Kevin Willard’s absence during a team dinner before their Sweet 16 has stirred rumors. Could he already be thinking about a job at Villanova?collegefootballnetwork.com
At this point, if he shows up to the game, how can you let him be there and coach your team?
I would let the AHC take the reins and use it to motivate the team to show him YOU are the team, not Willard. YOU made it this far, not him. Tell him to kick sand.

in the old days sure ... but of the top 6 guys .. 1 is a 4 year Maryland guy
1 is the star freshman (going to the NBA)
and 4 are portal transfers in (only 1 has been at maryland for more then this season) and 2 of those very well might go to Nova with the coach ..

And letting Willard coach the game will probably have no impact if any of them stay at Maryland or not.
Gotta take a stance.

If they let him coach it will be wild, unless they have a legit excuse for why he couldn't make the dinner

Maryland has an interim AD at this time, as well.
I'm reminded of Bo Schembechler and Bill Frieder. When Frieder took the Arizona State job before the tournament in 1989, Schembechler let him go and Steve Fisher took over. Bo's famous line: "I don't want an Arizona State man coaching the Michigan team. I want a Michigan man to coach the Michigan team!" Michigan happened to go on a run and win the national championship.
A Villanova man is coaching Maryland tonight.

Crazy to think there is a very real possibility that Moser could go to Maryland and we would be stuck...searching...with no GM...

Are you hearing this or just speculating? Just curious for the fact he would leave OU due to lack of support to go to Maryland where the coach left due to lack of support doesn't seem to add up in my head.

While it would put us in a bad position, my personal opinion is that whatever it takes to separate OU and Moser is a good thing.
Again, IMO.
Moser is pretty desperate to get out or Norman.Are you hearing this or just speculating? Just curious for the fact he would leave OU due to lack of support to go to Maryland where the coach left due to lack of support doesn't seem to add up in my head.
says who?

Why would you assume this? Pm hasn't been a real candidate at any decent job yet..

I don't think he's going to Maryland. There are a couple of coaches in the area that will get calls: Tony Skinn (George Mason) and Duane Simpkins (American, also Maryland alum).
Maryland has the same issues: funding of the basketball program. But it would get Porter a new start.
Just remembered: Joe C. is a Maryland grad. Whether that means he'd do them any favors on a buyout is another story.

Yeah idk if I'd define it as desperate.. I prolly would if pm didn't have a massive buyout protecting him. I'd prolly say "really wants" to get out

Very much true. A “divorce” would be best for both at this point.
not likely.
pm is in a pretty good position at the moment.
he's getting paid very well. he has 3 years left on his contract. he has a built in excuse for lack of results.
no one is going to pay his buyout so while he may not be happy about his current situation wrt program support....i doubt he's desperate.

Trilly's discord, lists Moser as a few coaches who should be up for the MD.
I think his name being thrown in means someone is fighting for his job (agent or him, whatever)
Doesn't mean he would take it, but he seems to be fighting for leverage every. single. year.
