SMU hasn’t had a winning season since 2003. And the Mustangs have the dubious distinction of being the first Division I win for USC Upstate!

BTW, that blog says there were 46 official candidates for the Mo State job and that $100,000 of the $300,000 base salary came from private donations by 15 individuals.

There is some irony in the fact that New Mexico’s Steve Alford gets a 3-year extension following the Lobos’ first round exit in the NIT versus the Cal Bears. Alford loses – get an extension. Braun wins – gets the ax. (Of course, when looking at the bigger picture, I understand those 2 events. Still, the irony…)
[QUOTE=HP49er;303834]Derek Thomas resigned at Western Illinois after going 40-104 in five seasons.[/QUOTE]
And WIU is playing “hardball” with one of Thomas’ recruits who could end up at Saint Louis if he can get out of his NLI…

Idaho fired George Pfeifer after two seasons (12-48) and hires Utah State assistant Don Verlin.
Sacramento State releases Jerome Jenkins after 8 years, 80-147. 102 applications have been filed for the job but before you apply consider this… Jenkins’ base salary of $88,584 was the lowest among the eight Division I basketball schools in the California State University system; the Hornets Nest capacity of 1,200 is tied for the fifth-smallest of the 341 schools playing Division I basketball; Sac State has not had a winning season since joining Division I in 1991, the Hornets’ 15-15 finish in the 2005-06 season is the high-water mark; the Hornets rank 335th in RPI.
In possibly the swiftest move in athletic director history, Alconrn State AD Darren Hamilton begins work on April 1 and fires coach Samuel West later that day. West was 44-103 in five seasons.

Speaking of coaches named Ford, LSU is denying that Travis Ford of UMass will be named the new coach of the Tigers. In fact, LSU is also in the process of hiring a new AD and that will be done prior to naming a new HC for the men’s hoops team. BTW, Duke’s AD Joe Alleva is a finalist for the same job in Baton Rouge.
Of course, Travis Ford could still end up at LSU, just not going to happen today as some guy at ESPN who also happens to be a Ford(e) reported… :rolleyes:
BTW, on denials involving A-10 coaches, Rick Majerus has told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch he’s not a candidate to take the job at Marquette (or in RM’s case, return for a 2nd stint at MU).
