Contract extension at Ole Miss for Chris Beard -- he seemed like a coach who could try to jump for an open job, though the circumstances surrounding his dismissal from Texas would have made some ADs/boosters uncomfortable.

It had to be so hard on the WVU players. A great transfer class and national championship goals. Then Huggs was Huggs. Players left and they never seemed to be able to get over it. I believe an all new staff might help them.

Sort of official now from Thamel. He qoutes West Virginia as moving on.

Moser says this is hogwash.

That is (unofficially) a wrap from the Josh Eilert era in Morgantown.

Louisville plays NC State late this afternoon - Kenny Payne's tenure is nearing an end and it could be a matter of hours before the U of L comes open.

Goodman says expect this to be official in 24-48 hours

Paid, unverified blue checks have made these kind of rumors much easier to spread.

Porter Moser has long been rumored to DePaul -- would be an interesting move if that ends up happening. Not that it matters to us as much, with OU off to the SEC.

i don’t think the reference had anything to do with
religion either. Just the nature of that particular
university, & I agree , others.
i read the fan forum of this particular team &
the moderator always takes the opportunity to
trash UC for past transgressions.
Sanctimony, Self Righteousness & Holier than
Thou-edness are their 3 main majors.

People in glass houses….

Best to let this part of the thread go I think..

I get what you're saying but I think you made a leap there. "Holier than thou" could refer to a whole bunch of schools like say, Baylor or Liberty or technically even Duke. There's quite a few Jesuit schools out there that most people don't have an issue with, like SLU. Then there's Xavier. But yeah It would be nice if we could beat them on the court.

Re: Mack, I think the things that Miller and Mack were doing at X no longer apply. NIL has killed that advantage for them. Now everyone can play that game.

[QUOTE=bearcatbret;n413213]I think that you can trace cheating at xavier back over the past 5 coaches. Every one of them got busted for cheating at their newer big state university. As for now, as stated by Lobot, NIL has leveled the playing field where past cheating just goes unchecked today. [

inquiring minds want to know, beyond Miller’s
well known plight.

CWM was livid that Demarr was not recognized on the WVU staff as being a former bearcat at his post game presser Maybe he's lobbying for that to occur

Rumors of Loeffler being in play at Loyola Maryland

DerMarr unlikely to be retained at WVU after a new head coach is hired

Could happen
