Apparently Stallings was the best Pitt could do. A week or so ago, their local radio would have had you believe Sean Miller, Archie Miller, Chris Mack and Gregg Marshall were going to flip coins to determine who could take the prestigious Pitt job.
Dunleavy to Tulane is official.

I believe UNLV made a great hire if true. To me he's a much better pick than Cronin and likely cheaper.
Vandy is the last P5 job open.
Will be interesting to see what St. Louis does.

Ga Tech is still open no? Or are they not P5?
Nope, you're right. I totally forgot about them.

Hoopdirt is reporting that Columbia head coach will take over at San Fransisco.
Also said South Dakota State's Scott Nagy is interested in Wright State. That seems like a shocker to me.

Rumor mill around here in Dayton is that Wright State would like to make a run at Ron Hunter. He grew up in the area and attended Miami (OH) just down the road. Not sure if the interest is mutual though.

What in the hell does the Wright State job pay?
Not as much as Georgia State. I think he was probably making something around 300-350k as a base. Not sure what his incentives were.
If this is accurate, his base pay is $479K.

Higher than I thought. I know his first deal was a five year deal and it was for around 250k a year, and that Brownell made about 400k before he left and Donlan took over.
If they can pay 500k a year they could be competitive with Georgia State.

Could someone please explain what it is that bad coaches do that earns them these unbelievable amounts of money. Been going to Hulman Center since it opened and the only ISU coach that deserved the money he got was Bob King. He said the day he was introduced as coach "we are in the entertainment business". And he added that after three years,if we weren't.winning our share against the competition we should be playing, we needed to get a new coach. No he did not have LB at that time.

Best coach I have ever been around, remember it well
St Louis hires former Oklahoma State coach Travis Ford, their fans are NOT happy at all
Seems like a very solid hire to me.
I would not be happy with Travis Ford either. I don't blame St.L fans for that feeling. Guy underachieved at OSU. Had several all big 12 players, had a POY candidate with Smart and still never seemed to do much of anything. Got them to the NCAA but they never did anything, never even made it to the sweet 16 if memory serves me. Never was a consistent top five Big 12 (10) program, and they usually finished closer to the bottom of the league each year than the top.
