If Moser was to leave Loyola maybe Mullins could grab the Illinois Wolves recruits that are headed there this year.
That thought has Loyola fans pretty stirred up.
Porter's buyout is substantial.
Do we know Moser's buyout? Tim Cluess has a $2 million buyout and apparently that's too much for St. John's. Either they're really frugal or Moser's buyout is a ways away from $2 million.

Looks like Moser to St John's is gonna happen

Wowsers. Obviously the Big East is a prestigious conference, but not an easy job or easy decision in my book.

This should be very beneficial for us!
I'm wondering who Loyola turns to next. Their board is interested in Jon Scheyer, not sure he'd leave a comfy Duke job for Loyola even with the ties to Northern Illinois. They also seem to like Michigan assistant Luke Yaklich who I think we had interest in if Mullins fell apart (along with Michigan State's Dane Fife) and Bryce Drew.
Moser update this morning:

Hopefully Bryan is already in Welch/Kennedy/Wojcik's ears already if the Moser news is true. All 3 played for IL Wolves...

This would be quite the amount of money to turn down. And 8 years of security.
Moser is staying at Loyola:
Wow. All respect to Moser (and, more likely, his wife/family) for walking away, for (maybe) saying, "You know what? $900k/year is more than enough to live on." It could also be that Loyola upped his pay or they figured the extra wasn't enough to account for the increase in COL combined with the upheaval of a move, but I'm still impressed with the NO here; apparently some things are still worth more than cash to some people, and I applaud that.
(I rescind that sentiment if Loyola matched the figure, even if only in part, and it was a purely economic decision.)

I personally think it's a bad decision for Moser but I don't really think the cash matters to him and he loves Chicago and Loyola. He probably realizes St. John's isn't a good fit for him too based on their history of firing coaches after 5 years or less and the immense pressure that would be put on him that won't be put on him at Loyola.

Hmm. I'm not trying to be a d1ck here, "Mr. Rhetoric" or whatever, but nothing you say after your first sentence actually supports that first sentence. Why is this a bad move?
For me, of you're currently making $900k/year but are still worried about your future/retirement, there is something wrong with you in the head. Which I guess was the whole point of my original post.
