If Moser were to leave after 2 seasons he would, effectively, be like any player in the portal, with this coming from someone who is known as being a dedicated, family type man.....you've heard the story.
Man, I'm not overly high on McCasland either. Probably a better fit than PM, but still not a great fit IMO. And if you think we play slow now, NT is 63 spots slower according to Ken Pom.
Joe C. tends to go conservative after failed hires, but I'd like to see us keep chasing a high upside candidate. McCasland is not that. He is Lon Kruger without the Final 4. Definitely no on the ORU coach. That would be even worse. I'd love to take a shot on Kellen, but he has a good thing going, and his HC in waiting. I really don't see him leaving UH, and I'm not sure Joe C. wants to hire a Sampson after forcing Kelvin out the door years ago.
I don't have a great answer, but I really don't want to settle for somebody with what I'd consider a limited upside.
I have asked this question a million times and no one has ever tried answering it. How did Joe "force" Kelvin out? Did he manufacture an opening at a near-blue blood and say hey, Kelvin, I really think you should take this job? Kelvin left because an opening came up at a basketball school with a rich tradition and a passionate fan base. That is not being forced out.
I have an outside-the-box name. How about Bryce Drew?
he was not "forced out" but no one in OU administration was sad that he left .. and there was 0% chance Blake was coming to OU to play for Kelvin Sampson

Only reason I remember that name is from when a mediocre Lon team pushed his Vandy team's stuff in by like 40 pts. Could have been a bad day, yes. But maybe we should shoot higher?
This account seems to be more reliable than not on coaching dirt. I wouldn't be surprised if this is the case, especially after Jeff Goodman's leak a couple of weeks ago.

I can't post the screenshot, but the tweet reads:
"We are told Porter Moser is doing everything he can to get the Notre Dame job and that ND is equally interested.
This seems likely to occur and if so expect Grant McCasland and Paul Mills to get well earned long looks by OU.
Kellen Sampson could be very involved, too"
Wow, I'm surprised. Why would ND want him? He's failing at OU. I guess their expectations are just lower?
But, we better not get too excited here.
I have no idea as far as who could replace him. But I don't think it should be another mid major coach. I think we should shoot for the moon here. Can't have another bad hire.
Bad fit for Moser and OU. Hope something can be negotiated to let him go to ND because it’s clear something is broken in the program right now.
