Yeah that was a lucky prediction, that is going to be a messy situation though with their one player, Robert Mitchell who "was arrested on Tuesday and charged with entering a house in South Orange on Monday and robbing eight people at gunpoint, Essex County prosecutors said. He was charged with robbery, kidnapping and burglary. All three offenses carry 10- to 20-year maximum prison sentences."

DePaul is looking for a coach.  Daily Herald

As she kicks her coaching search into high gear this week, Ponsetto wields approval from the Board of Trustees and President Rev. Dennis H. Holtschneider to offer a package similar to the likes of Louisville's Rick Pitino ($2.25 million per year) and West Virginia's Bob Huggins ($20 million over 10 years).

"The trustees made a commitment that DePaul should go out and get the best coach that it possibly can," Ponsetto said. "It may be that it turns out someone will be very high on the list of paid Big East coaches."

Ponsetto wants a top-notch recruiter as well as someone with the "technical acumen" to match wits with the league's high-profile coaches such as Pitino, Huggins, Connecticut's Jim Calhoun and Syracuse's Jim Boeheim.

"Several of the people that we're looking at are currently head coaches in very successful programs," Ponsetto said. "While everybody understands and appreciates and recognizes our tradition, somebody would have to leave something really good if we get any of our top several choices."

Ponsetto indicated most, if not all, of those top choices have their teams in the upcoming NCAA Tournament.

Whether or not they look at Donahue, I would imagine a 10x increase in salary is hard for anyone to turn down

DePaul and Oregon will be looking to reel in bigger names than Donahue for the amount of money they're willing to spend...Seton Hall or St John's are more up his alley.  He'll be sitting in the college coaching poor house with only $500K annual salary.

I dont even think Seton Hall or St Johns will consider him which are probably better jobs. I think the only job he might get consideration for his Fordham and I dont think he takes it so I think he will be here next year.

Really glad nobody was that clever in 1995. :-O

Norm Roberts fired today as St. Johns' coach.

You don't think he's gunning for the Temple job?

You don't think he's gunning for the Temple job?

Ha! I think Dunphy is as safe at Temple as Donahue is at Cornell.

Ha! I think Dunphy is as safe at Temple as Donahue is at Cornell.

Dunphy has lost in the first round of the NCAA's for three years in a row. He's not going anywhere.

Donahue has done better than that, and is still not done this year. Let's keep our fingers crossed. Right now I'm most worried about the Seton Hall job. ::uhoh::

[Jeff Hopkins '82]

Dunphy has maintained Chaney's winning ways, and has a great reputation in Philly and the Big Five.  And he's a "Philly guy."  He's staying.
