Yep. HoopDirt just posted the same. Said it could be announced today.

He's has success as an asst to Mooney at two different places. Not a flashy hire, but I'm good with it. Should be familiar with recruiting in the region and competing at the mid-major level.
Not sure how to think. I certainly liked the previous rumors more personally. I guess we'll just have to see.

The last four years Richmond has been a very completive team in the Atlantic Ten. From what I have heard on the board we want a guy who is good with the X and O's. One the things I have heard about Coach McGeehan is that he is a great teacher of the game. That being said its totally different being the head coach.

RE: So where do we go from here?
I do know that McGeehan takes over a program in MUCH better shape then the last time CU had a vacancy. Now we just have to wait and see what happens on the floor.
I am a bit surprised that Campbell didn't go with a more award winning/press conference winning hire, BUT it does show that they dug around a little bit before pulling the trigger. I'd be interested to know (and we never will) how much the salaries for coaching staff have increased. I know Mooney (HC at Richmond is over $400 k/year) so McGeehan had to be near or over $100 k.
