And what I’ve been told is the remaining five - (in alphabetical order) Travis Ford, Pete Gillen, Bobby Lutz, Sean Miller and John Pelphrey - remain in play.While former Villanova coach Steve Lappas tossed his hat in the ring to be considered for the USF job, a couple of other former coaches are also pursuing the position - Mike Jarvis and Cliff Ellis. Read More...So the list is ... at the very least...Travis FordPete GillenBoby LutzSean MillerJohn PelphyreySteve LappasMike JarvisCliff EllisShould be interesting to see if any other names jump in...

They aren't giving up their cushy studio job to come coach at USF unless the salary is worth it, meaning $1M +Lavin wanted $1.2 from NC State last year, Majerus signed for over$1M at USC in 2004 before backing out of the job.USF unfortunately does not need to sign a coach for that much and then not have any money to make much needed improvements to basketball facilities, etc.I can personally guarentee 100% without a doubt that Sean Miller of Xavier will not be coming here. My choice on that list is Travis Ford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony Grant can kiss my ass. I don't want another f*cken Gator coaching at USF! Let's keep our program pure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would we want to use that same route again?? No offense to Grant, but coaching in the BIG EAST may be out of his league right now. Ditto for maybe Lutz too. We need a BIG EAST coach like Mike Jarvis or at least former UConn assistant Karl Hobbs to coach at USF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
