Shaka Smart to Marquette

Really hope Texas fans don’t actually think Cal will leave. Dude gets a million a year for life after he retires at UK. He’s not screwing that up.

Who would you pick to replace him with?

Chris Beard, who is Calipari without the charisma. Beard wouldn't be my pick personally but that's who I would get on.
 
Shaka did well at VCU. Maybe the step down will help him.

Funny enough... ..that site already has Shaka listed as HC for Marquette. :p
 
I like Shaka's thinking.
Saved Texas some money.

Everyone has a different what a better job is.

I would consider Ole Miss a better basketball job than Indiana.
An elite coach can win at Ole Miss and they have the money and access to recruits to do so.

Matter of opinion. All people think differently

Marquette has a better history. Texas, due to pay/conference/recruiting base is a better job.

Bruce Weber to Texas.

Sure, it’s a program downgrade, but he doesn’t have to worry about recruiting. Instant coaching upgrade for Texas.
 
Funny thing is...Texas would probably succeed at a pretty high level with Weber. He’d scare off some recruits, but not enough to leave the cupboard bare.
 
Indiana not going to put someone's name on the court
Ole Miss will...

Use your head.
More than that you should at least understand not everyone thinks like you..
By the transitive property, that means that I don’t think like you. Thank the fcking lord.
 
I’m a little out of the loop on this, but wouldn’t Texas have owed him $7 million if they fired him? Why just walk away from that willingly?
