Several BIG jobs are open. Boeheim and Roy williams both retired. Neither school has me anywhere on their short list.

North Carolina hires Nevada's coach. Syracuse hires Creighton's coach.


However, I do have many mid-major programs pursuing me. Misouri State is very interested. However, their 3 best players are leaving and I don't see the MVC being a huge upgrade from the MAAC.

Niagara just extended my deal for 3 more years and I decide to pass on this offer as it just doesn't offer anything that I want.

None of the other offers appeal to me either and I decide to stay put for another year even though I know this could be a rebuilding year.
