Isn't Paul Hewitt to my other school, Georgia State, a no-brainer?

Poor attempt at taking the attention away from your questionable ice cream choices...
Of course they are. Cuz, you know, it's just COOL!The Vanderbilt student newspaper is calling for Vanderbilt to hire San Antonio Spurs assistant coach Becky Hammon to be their next men's basketball head coach
I think Vanderbilt will hire Murray State head coach Matt McMahon for their next men's head basketball coach. I think Alabama will hire Thad Matta as their next men's head basketball coach,Of course they are. Cuz, you know, it's just COOL!
This would be cool and I'm definitely for it but I fear the backlash against the first woman's Division I men's basketball coach when she realistically wins 5 total SEC games over her first 2 years. It's not getting any easier for an academic-focused, clean program like Vandy in the SEC with the strong-*** offers being dropped right now by the rest of the conference.The Vanderbilt student newspaper is calling for Vanderbilt to hire San Antonio Spurs assistant coach Becky Hammon to be their next men's basketball head coach
Of course looking at Candy's instant turnaround in recruiting, I'm confident they were also making strong-*** offers.This would be cool and I'm definitely for it but I fear the backlash against the first woman's Division I men's basketball coach when she realistically wins 5 total SEC games over her first 2 years.

Yeah,there is a saying in the SEC that goes "If you aren't cheating you aren't trying"Of course looking at Candy's instant turnaround in recruiting, I'm confident they were also making strong-*** offers.
Hey, if I had as much money as Hewitt does now (mostly from GT) I'd probably do whatever the heck I wanted as well. We blame him for a lot when we maybe should be blaming our own administrators. I have no inside info, so I have no idea if he was upfront and honest about how he planned to do things (focus on getting kids into NBA, BCA etc etc)...but if he was, then it ain't on him. In my limited contact with the man, he seemed honorable and a straight shooter. But, I'm just a fan..I know NOTHING.In all seriousness, I can't imagine any scenario where Hewitt gets a college job in next five years or longer. Went from a near national title to a total bust at George Mason and his reputation took a major hit as well. I'm not sure a mid major would even hire him at this point. As with Hunter at GSU, I think you need to handle yourself with class, don't burn bridges and, in Hewitt's case, know why you're there....to win basketball games, not to get players to the NBA or work for the BCA or get into it with Steak and Cellini on sports talk radio. Heard that things were a mess at George Mason. Sad because he had so much potential.
Amazing how we (GT) can blow two ultimate experiences, winning the National Championship in 1990 and falling to 1-10 four years later and going to the National Championship game in basketball and becoming irrelevant basically five years later for the next decade. Sad.
Isn't that what the SEC Commissioner meant when he told the schools to step up their basketball programs? No? Oh, my bad.Yeah,there is a saying in the SEC that goes "If you aren't cheating you aren't trying"

The news here is that a lot of folks said he was more likely to sign the extension with IowaSt than leaving for Bama. This confirms it.
And, I guess, a couple folks here are happy he's not going back "home" (to Bama) and thereby leaving open the possibility that he'd leave for another job at some point.
The rumor going around Alabama is that Alabama is talking to former Ohio State head coach Thad Matta about their head coaching vacancy
