Maybe you need to try a different AD before hiring 20 more coaches....just a thought.Originally posted by USCgamecockboy View PostComment

If GM wasn't interested in USC or any other coaching position for that matter, why hasn't he come out and said I'm staying here and pulling his name out of all consideration? So are we all in agreement that he is in fact exploring his options and seeing what is the biggest contract he can get? Silence in this case is not golden in my opinion. If GM was in fact not interested in moving on, why would he prolong the speculation? I need answers dammit!Comment

Not saying he isn't looking at other positions but even if he isn't interested it would be bad business to come out and say that.Originally posted by KC Shox View PostComment

I don't have any idea if he is or is not exploring his options. But at the very least he is keeping his options open.
Perhaps a fact of life we will have to regularly live with as long as Coach Marshall is here I suppose.Comment

It's called Business 101. If he comes out and says he is not interested, period, this early in the game, with all of these jobs open, he's basically lost all renegotiating power here. He could parlay this into a raise, more incentives, and a real sweet long term deal. Don't blame him a bit either, even if you do need answers.Originally posted by KC Shox View PostComment

Why would he need to declare anything unless he has an offer to accept or decline?Comment

I was REALLY hoping Smart would take the job. Illinois kind of concerns me. At least a little. Sounds like they were throwing big money at Smart. If he turns it down I could see Marshall being on their list. Much better job than SC and he has a staff that has built some ties in Illinois. Could be interesting.

Definitely a LOT of chatter about Martin to USC being a strong possibility. Have to think there could be some truth to this"He called me around noon and was thrilled," Brandt said. "He said he was going to be a Shocker forever." -- RIP Guy, you WILL indeed be a Shocker forever!Comment

He did the same thing with NC State. He likes to flirt. He has a huge ego and gets his jollies (I don't blame him) off being courted.Originally posted by KC Shox View Post

If Bruce Weber was making 1.3 after making the Championship game, you have no reason to be concerned. I can't believe they will double the basketball salary for 3G, even if he would be interested (and I don't think he will).Originally posted by shockerfan View PostComment

oh wow. I never paid attention to Weber's salary. Just assumed it was alot higher. That does make me feel better about that one then.Originally posted by WuDrWu View Post"He called me around noon and was thrilled," Brandt said.

As someone who recently finished grad work at the University of Illinois, I can tell you that I heard plenty about the state's financial difficulties and they extend heavily into the state university system. Obviously, athletic program budgets and school budgets are somewhat separate, but I don't think there is as much free money sitting around as you would expect at a school the size of Illinois. Plus, I got the impression that the school was tapping its donors pretty hard to cover educational expenses. There may not be much more blood to squeeze from that stone.Originally posted by WuDrWu View Post"Cotton scared me - I left him alone." - B4MSU (Bear Nation poster) in reference to heckling playersComment

Watched a cubs game a few years ago and sat in the outfield with a bunch of illini grads who were passing around a fat one. Maybe illinois could squeeze some blood from the stoners.Originally posted by The Mad Hatter View PostComment

Renegotiating here.Originally posted by KC Shox View Post
The possibility of an amazing job popping up with a crazy salary. I don't think there's much argument that could be made if UNC came courting him with a $3M contract. Obviously not going to happen, but there are jobs and salaries he could certainly leave for. Just not a lot. WSU's a good job ... it's not the BEST job, though. Illinois might be a possibility if HCGM was their first choice and they were willing to pay enough. I just don't see it happening for what they'd likely pay and the fact that Smart is their first choice.
That, and I agree that he probably likes to be courted.Originally posted by BleacherReportComment
