Chris Mack to USF

Good catch, seems to be an underachieving step for him. Maybe he is just a smaller college great coach, and a larger college bad to good coach?

He has the record going for him. I would have thought if he had waited on the chairs to quit spinning his name may have come up for something better, but hey he gets the South Florida recruiting base.

He may want to stay outta the S. Florida sun with that dome though.

Bill Self says “not so fast” on retirement rumor.
"He commented more than once that, 'You know, Hitler did some good things, too,'" Kelly recalled to The Times. Kelly said he would usually quash the conversation by saying "nothing (Hitler) did, you could argue, was good," but that Trump would occasionally bring up the topic again.

He Gone, he just wants it on his own terms imo. Internet mumbo jumbo, doesn't befit his 23 year career there.

Well Izzo is obviously not going anywhere, interesting although I don't care for his whiny ass, he is a hell of a coach and this article is probably the most geniune he has ever seemed in public to me at least.

Is that a better job than Akron?

No with the exception of Belmont, who I hope we get a couple of players from this year....no other team to speak of

Charleston has to be like a million times better place to live.

  The point I think was about the job....basketball, I agree Charleston is a ton better, Akron is a shithole, lived very close for almost 5 years...not again. But basketball wise, not sure Charleston is even a lateral move over Akron?

At that level, who cares? If the pay is similar, I’ll take the far better place to live.

chris mack was at 1.1 Groce at 800,000, your right if he can get the same $$$. If nothing else he gets out of that area.
