How Many New Coaches Will We have in the MVC Next Year?

[Dean Wormer]

No kidding, I really don't see UAB ever having a much better 5 year span than that.

Weber expected to interview at Illinois:

Former Illinois coach Bruce Weber is expected to interview for Southern Illinois' vacancy and is one of the school's top targets, according to a source familiar with the situation.

I guess I'm not sure who else SIU is looking at but I would have to think that if Weber wants the job, its his. I'm thinking that SIU is just running through the formalities and Bruce will be wearing a "Saluki Basketball" polo within the next few weeks. Hopefully this will greatly increase the number of Saluki fans on our boards since they normally are pretty fun to chat with.

Word on the street is the Jank is one of the final few names at Tulsa. Interesting to me because I consider ISUred to be a pretty equal job to Tulsa in a similar league.

I guess they're going to bump his pay a bit. Nothing is final, but he's in the mix.

He won't go to Tulsa but he could end up at KSU. If he loses out on KSU he stays. He won't bolt for Tulsa, especially with what he has coming back next season. There will be better offers.

I don't disagree with the perception of the Tulsa job. In fact, I think ISU red, in many ways, is superior. Just relaying what I heard for the group.

Could be a leverage play from Jank.

KSU is a long shot - but I don't have a good feel for their search yet.
