For those of you worried about losing a HC to SMU... I get that, but it's not that clear. Muss isn't in a position right now to receive a huge raise/extension. If he didn't just have a losing season, that extension would've already been announced and this SMU thing would not be a story. It's not that he's necessarily being pushed out, but I don't think we're getting baited into a bidding war for Muss at this point.


May want to check your notes again

But your point still stands. I think he just wants to go closer to home and his mother, and is probably feeling pretty shellshocked seeing how the fanbase completely turned on him throughout this season - after taking us to elite 8s and a sweet 16 previously.

I wouldn't feel very warm and fuzzy about sticking around, if I were in his shoes. He took us to heights we hadn't been to in 30 years and then one .500 season happens and everyone wants his head, wants him to leave, is spreading bullshite about how he doesn't want to be here and they don't want him here either, etc.

That has to weigh heavily on a coach, I don't care who you are.

So Muss to USC is official?

ETA-Oh, I see where he's interviewing there tomorrow. Yep. Sounds like a done deal. HY basically told him to hit the bricks.

Just reposting that from the SMU cycle. The point still stands that we could probably keep him away from USC if we wanted (although it's less certain than SMU was) but we aren't about to get in a bidding war for him
