UL fans

My man, you gotta have a plan B. UL has the resources to help make a lot of coaches successful. Every coach at UL since '71 has won a title.

I’ve never read anything about it being Mack’s dream job, but I do believe he’s really interested. A very reliable insider has mentioned that Alford wants the job badly, I’m guessing to be closer to home.

might also be because of the lack of fan support at UCLA
he would not have that problem at UL

This time of year--and with a job opening at a school that has demonstrated they will pay top dollar for a quality coach--you can expect coaches to have their names leaked whether it's a realistic pursuit or not. Perhaps the Memphians can chime in on this, but Calipari used to get a raise virtually every season with a rumored interest in IU (2 times if I remember correctly) and NC State minimally that I can recall.

In my opinion Alford and Louisville is Exhibit A of such a leak. I can't see him as a good cultural fit for Louisville and cultural fit is important here; there are unique dynamics to coaching in a town that is the Jerusalem of the sport.
