Only if you believe the rumors, which probably have no validity.Nova AD must be having some type of mental breakdown.
He got a job at a blue blood. He was not forced out. I don’t think Joe fought him. But he was not forced out.
If you're the football coach at Indiana and Oklahoma calls, you go.He got a job at a blue blood. He was not forced out. I don’t think Joe fought him. But he was not forced out.
Coincidentally, I wish we would call their football coach lol.If you're the football coach at Indiana and Oklahoma calls, you go.

Kelvin stayed for a dozen years and had plenty of offers. If he was one foot out the door, he wouldn’t have stayed that long.
Was he better? The results without Buddy were not better.
The other element is similar to last cycle.
Moser’s job is safe now that he’s made the tournament. And in total fairness, he’s done a really good job in the final stretch of the season.
OU doesn’t prefer to pay the buyout. Like with Venables, it’s cheaper for OU to find a couple of extra dollars lying around to support MBB. Buying Moser out is the last resort. Was much more likely if they missed, obviously.
Basically
1a. Float name out there, hope another program takes the bait, especially if said program is basketball-first
1b. Float name out there, hope it gets you more resources from your current job if/when no one will hire you
If we'd known in advance of the season we'd land a 9 seed with this roster, I think just about anybody would have applauded. No way we can fire him at this point, and we have to save up for a potential Venables buy-out next year. We will never pay a buyout on somebody who made the tourney.
I'm surprised pm's agent didn't throw out the Lakers being a possible spot for pm while they were at itHe's obviously not getting fired now, and if he beats Hurley, he might appear on a few extra radars. Still, a guy in his late 50s who has only coached four years at a high major with one NCAA tournament is only going to get so many phone calls. Like CoachTalk said, it was probably his agent who started the rumor.
He’s holding out for the 2028 Olympic team.I'm surprised pm's agent didn't throw out the Lakers being a possible spot for pm while they were at it
Lon Kruger made us better every day from the day he was hired culminating in a final four. After the final four, he should’ve retired. He also lost his top two assistants, so he basically was retired.Was he better? The results without Buddy were not better.
True. Never underestimate how influential assistants are on a staff. The impact of losing Lew Hill (RIP) and Steve Henson was huge. Just like the current staff for PM was much better than year 1.Lon Kruger made us better every day from the day he was hired culminating in a final four. After the final four, he should’ve retired. He also lost his top two assistants, so he basically was retired.
