It was reported that he was their top pick, not sure of a done deal or not yet. Huge upgrade over Neptune obviously. I’m not completely sold on the guy at the high major level, but maybe he’s learned a lot at New Mexico. I’m kinda of the opinion that if you take away his last name and just look at his resume, he wouldn’t be getting any looks yet

According to Trilly, X had interviews with Pitino and Valentine today.
That’s not to say either were serious. I’d assume X would interview a handful of guys regardless.

I am about to go Google it, but I have no idea who Valentine is. Unfortunately, I DO know who Pitino is.

He had miller taking OSU last year I think. But yeah he isn’t 100% but usually has decent sources. Sometimes these type of interviews are favors. It’s going to be Mack.

The second his dad leaves the Johnnie’s in 2 years max, guess who they are come get from X with minimal success. No way on Pitino, he will be here shorter than Sean imo. Mack w/ a huge buyout and a handshake to spend at least 5-7 years here. This is home.

I like Mack for the hire. Huss would be a good get, I think Valentine is going to be a good coach at Loyola. Gerlufsen at SFU is a good get that nobody is really talking about. Guy has SFU playing good defense and overachieves with the resources.
