Goodman reporting that DePaul and holtmann are close.
That is a homerun for DePaul.
Is it? Holtmann failed spectacularly (and surprisingly) at Ohio State.
I would agree that at least from a PR standpoint that getting a “name” like Holtman is big for DP. How it will turn out from a competitive standpoint only time will tell. Perhaps he will be able to get them back to respectability, perhaps not. But he certainly can’t do any worse than the last few coaches have.
I am not sure anyone can resurrect DePaul tbh. Who would want to play there? If I want to play in Chicago, Loyola or Northwestern are situated better as universities and environment.
And it's another well respected coach in the conference.
He's not going to lead them to any titles, but vying for periodic tournament bids is good for the conference.
Stackhouse is out at Vandy too.
As far as Holtman goes, I kinda like DePaul as the Big East punching bag. Every conference need 1-2 of those. As long as it’s not us.
