OP shoudk just relable the other "Coaching search and other random topics" thread.
As far as actual coaching news, Biddy on 247 yesterday actually had some interesting stuff (if you believe him).
Beard
Said he has it confirmed by 2 people that Beard is actually willing to listen. Also said he wants to be at a place where he can long term win and has a higher basketball ceiling (don't know how much higher the ceiling is than the final 4).
But he also said that the whole thing could be one giant leverage pull for a giant payday either Tech, Arkansas, wherever.
Marshall
Wanted a 7 year deal and UA feelers wouldn't agree to that. May still be in play, but who knows. Said he heard the offer was 5 yrs $25 million.
Musselman
Supposedly balked at UAs offer.
He makes $1M a year at Nevada.
Sampson
Apparently the coach in waiting thing was a last minute addition by Houston. Apparently Sampson really didn't want to leave and start over at that age. He left good situation before and burned him.
Possible Back Up Plans
Richard Pitino and Fran McCaffrey (Iowa)
Pitino the most name he's heard more of.
...
I will shite a fricking Fiat if we hire fricking Richard fricking Pitino or Fran McCaffrey after all this bullshite holding out for Beard and it all falls through.
HY is playing a very zero sum game here. If he shoots for beard and he misses, then the Musselman and Marshall types have all the leverage and can just say "frick you, pay me."

he thinks he's worth more than Arkansas offered or the decision was blocked by the BOT for another myriad of possible reasons, including they think they have a chance with Chris Beard.
