I am usually wrong -- so hang in there.

not a chance... 500K max

I guess there is no love for CM Newton. He is only the guy that is given credit for returning KY Basketball to its greatness.

I think its going to be pelphrey or gillien... I think marhsall is going to turn it down. sad.

Rueb, do you have anything to offer this board?

I don't believe 800K. Not a chacne its that type of money. No way. Now how. I bet its something like 500K - with a whole bunch of incentives and a decent shoe deal and radio/tv deal. no chance that it is a base salary of 800K..

Former Kentucky AD is consulting for woolard on the b-ball job search. Not a bad second opinion considering he is the guy that hired petino.. --------- Winthrop assistant athletic director Jack Frost said former Kentucky athletic director C.M. Newton, who is assisting Woolard as a consultant on USF's search, asked and received permission Tuesday for Woolard to speak with Marshall. ----- University of Kentucky In 1989, Newton's alma mater, the University of Kentucky, came calling. Needing someone to replace athletic director Cliff Hagan and navigate the stormy waters of an NCAA probation, the university hired Newton.[8] Newton's first move as AD was to hire then-Providence College coach Rick Pitino.[9] The move paid off in a big way, as the Wildcats bounced back from their probation with a core of mostly Kentucky-born players known affectionately to fans as "The Unforgettables". The group - consisting of Sean Woods, Deron Feldhaus, Richie Farmer, and John Pelphrey - lost in overtime in the East Regional final of the NCAA tournament to the Duke Blue Devils in a game many consider the greatest college basketball game ever played.[10]

Yeah -- i actually believe Brad is on to something here. Not really sold on this guy. Gillien has been the only candidate thus far that I have liked. I guess we are in a bit of a pickle -- not a good enough program to get a top guy -- but we need some charisma or star power to revive the program. I still like Gillien thus far -- although it doesn't look like he is going to get the job.

not very impressive from vs top programs. who knows.

I havent seen anything such about a done deal... the guy hasn't even visited the campus.

just a repeat of the article in the paper.

CJL is going to be making about 2.5 million with sponsors and such -- when he takes that team to a BCS Championship game. Money is the least of his worries. He runs the entire Athletic Department. He isn't worried about some basektball program that hasn't won in 2 decades. CJL is trying to get in the national title hunt. Our basketball program is trying to make the big east tourny. night and day.

There is Rezz.. I missed you good buddy. Where is S-Bien. Its been a while and I need to read one of those 7 paragraph answers on why USF Basketball needs this or that.... Long time no see. The board has been dead without ya.

lexis nexis my friend. it holds the key to everyones life.

Thanks dad

I laughed at that. no chance.

just changed my vote.

Doug Woolard is in Greg Marshalls living room and you want this board to simmer?

get em boy -- get em!!!! sign um up.

http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/news/story?id=2806490 I could live with this guy. All he does is win.

By the end of next week we should have a coach.

Seems like the best candidate we have.

Doug Woolard will find the best candidate available. Not matter who he hires in Doug I trust. He knows USF athletics better then anybody. Lets just step aside and let Mr. Woolard do his job. In Doug I trust.

A ticket to a USF basketball game is not 15 dollars. Doug Woolar knows what he is doing. He will pick the best guy available. He is the man. In Doug I trust.

Woolard knows best.  Whoever he hires will be the best fit for USF. In Doug I trust.
