Sucks but I never thought it was going to happen.

I find it interesting that Andy Kennedy, Buzz Williams and Ben Howland have all been linked to the USF job. Pretty sure people thought at least 2 of those 3 would have no interest in a lowly school like BC. Of note... USF's AD (Harlan) came from UCLA and likely favors Howland.

Yeah, we got it, everyone agrees on this point.

I always wanted Ben Howland anyway <sniff>

BC would never hire Andy Kennedy. Too much baggage and not the right fit. Williams' Marqutte ties help, but I don't think USF or BC would be willing to buy him out of his relatively good deal now.

BC wouldn't sniff Kennedy. This is the same guy who beat up a cabbie while screaming racial slurs (like calling him Big Laden). I think they would love Williams, but they would never, EVER match the $2.5mm a year he currently gets at Marquette (even if he didn't have any buyout provision).

I do not for a moment believe BC is going to make any sort of big splash. Howland was as big of a splash as I would have anticipated... and even that would have been more circumstantial (best job open in a lean year and Howland needing to rehab his career).

That was the difference between he and Herm that I noted - I believe Herm is a Catholic.

Well... at least Bama liked my idea.

Howland is a great coach and a northeast guy, but I've ran into him a couple times the last few years and he doesn't look 57, more like 97.

Define "into him a couple of times".

I guess Pitt may not be NE, but from way over here it's deep in the NE.

Not sure who he knows at College of Idaho, but that's where.
