Matt Stephens is the worst kind of homer. It's fine to pump up your team when you have a winning track record. It's much, much worse to continually apply the lipstick to the pig.

Matt Stephens is fake news
This hire reeks of failure and desperation. Spin aways biyatches, but the hire sucks taint. Yay us!
Medved is a very good recruiter. This is a good hire. Miles has missed him.
John Giannini was fired by LaSalle after 14 seasons.
UofA dodges a missile
I can see why he'd want to go home. This is definitely the right time.
Is UA toxic right now for a HC search? I could see them having to go with someone from Lute's coaching tree like Josh Pastner who has a very uneven record but is still very young.

Pastner has his own issues right now-If I'm them and Miller leaves, I'd go with like a Miles Simon type with assistant coaches who have been there and done that.
Illinois St assistant Penny Collins is replacing Dana Ford as Tennessee St coach.
Dan Muller must be pretty good at identifying assistants - last year he lost 3 - Luke Yaklich & Deandre Haynes to Michigan - Yaklich is credited by Beilein for elevating Michigan's defense to #5 in the country. And Dean Oliver to Wisconsin.

There's a rumor that Jon Scheyer will be the new Pitt coach.
Good job with the mutual decision to let Dixon go Pitt. My God...
Wasn't Scheyer a Duke assistant? Just asking because I'm not sure if he was or not.

Lol they must have gone really, really cheap. I'd have thought Ryan Odom would have taken that gig for $1.5 or 2m.....and he could have fired people up.
Yep.
Should we start the "We now take you to Pitt" thread now, or wait?

Let's see if we have this straight-their AD has a compliance background, and she passes on Sean Miller thinking she's going to hire somebody clean..........and winds up with Jeff Capel? Yeah, let's start that thread now
Wow. I didn't think Mack was touchable because he was an Xavier guy. But I also didn't see him getting offered $4M per, so there's that.
Mark Titus was all over this on his pod the last couple weeks.
Sounds like a good hire for Louisville.
Very.

Very good hire for them, but not a surprise. If I was them, I wouldn't have cut Padgett loose had I had any concern whatsoever about Chris Mack accepting the gig.
Pastner would be a great hire. I don't like that idea. Didn't like the way we left Memphis however.
But, stoked they hired Penny Hardaway.
Didn’t Memphis drive him out?
Not that I recall, he had become salty with some of the media. His last season was not stellar but he had a top 25 team and won a Tournament game. Then he took the promotion to the ACC. The feeling ( as fans) was he had the program on the track to sustainable success. And then Tubby Smith happened.
Edit: the fan base is just getting tired of being a stepping stool athletic program. Calipari and Pasner in BB and Fuentes and Norvell (sooner than later) in FB.

I swore that everyone was upset because he "only made the tournament" and didnt' do more, but I'll also fully admit I barely pay attention to Memphis outside of Gary Parrish mentioning them on his podcast. Thanks.
The city does hold a basketball on a pedestal, and following Cal and the Memphis State successes it's a job with high expectations locally.

Memphis fans were thrilled Pastner left. He had a huge buyout and they couldn't afford to fire him. He was a great recruiter, but that well was starting to dry. Attendance during his first year was over 16,000 a game and his last year was just about 12,000. This year it was around 6,000 and the worst attendance in 50 years. The attendance drop and lack of even attempting to recruit were big reasons Tubby was fired.
