I just hope we hire someone that embodies what he was talking about in his interview. I had a dream last night that we hired Skerry. When I woke up I was pretty pissed about it. I hope this hire doesn’t turn into getting “my guy” but getting the “right guy”.
Fired Ohio State coach Chris Holtman takes the Depaul job:
Also, Louisville just fired their coach.

Kowalczyk has done just about everything but reach the NCAA Tournament -- but that's a concern, and those conference tournament losses should be a red flag. Also appears that he'd be a bit pricey -- earns more than $500K in base salary and marketing compensation. He was a strong candidate at UNC Charlotte last year; not clear if he turned it down or wasn't offered the job.
With all these firings in the last 2 days. With more to come! Maybe we can think about are any of these ex HC’s a fit for our program?
@kiwiball Doubtful. Kenny Payne was making over 3 mil, Stackhouse was making like 1.5 mil
I found out today that Travis Ford was making $2.3 million at SLU?
Hard to find he leases it now....In 28 pages of comments, I can't believe that no one has asked the question....
Where is Greg Cook's plane?
Why not Princeton's Mitch Henderson? (born right across the Wabash in Indiana.)
Clogate's Matt Langel?
These first 2 have done well at Accademia-focused universities.
or Louisville coach Chris Mack?
Very good article and most likely someone on that list will be the next coach at SIU 😎
