That would be a major coup for the league. The MAC needs to bring in some name coaches as the young up and coming types do not seem to be panning out for the majority of the programs. He might be priced out of the MAC market though: $734,072.43 base and $1,157,482.73 in "other earnings" at Minnesota.

I really want Buffalo to make a splash with the hiring. If they want to allocate more resources into building hoops over football that would be fine by me as we already have plenty of good football programs and the league really needs a basketball powerhouse.

Yeah, probably. I'm stunned that MN let him go. Maybe he'd settle for a little less stress w/ a MAC team. And it's not like the weather in Buff is any worse.

If he wants to coach, and he may want to retire, he could land a higher-than-MAC salary as a top assistant at a big school or even in the NBA. If he only wants to be a head coach, MVC or A-10 jobs pay a lot better than any MAC openings currently.

Tubby could pull a Solich. Worked out pretty well for Frank.

Living in Minnesota all I usually saw of Tubby Smith was the new asking why the gophers were underachieving or how some of their players were having issues off the court.

Tubby is a lot more high profile than Frank. I have to believe that he could get a much better job than a MAC gig. It would be huge if he did go to the Bulls but I just don't see it.

Agree.

I'm just amazed that MN let him go.

Anyway, going after Smith makes more sense than trying to push college baseball onto the Buffalo community.

Obviously, this next coach was known, before Reggie was fired.

Yes, which means that it's someone that the athletic director has previous ties to.

My guess is that it is a pretty good hire.
