No can do. The admins have said that they would likely gun for a big name, a coach that has national recognition and has had a track record of success. The AD was quoted as saying they want to go for a "Tubby Smith type of hire". Tubby as you know has turned around our basketball program immediately and has the bball team ready to make some serious noise in the Big 10 and the NCAA Tourney. With fan support dwindling each day the program needs a big name that will give it a shot in the arm, much like Tubby did when he was hired.
A lot of folks in Mpls seem to think that former Oregon coach and AD Mike Bellotti is a front runner. I don't have a problem with him but his age (60) is a concern in the long scheme of things.
