Wonder if Calamari will float his name for the Depaul job? I think probably.

With the buyout DePaul is getting from Virginia, they could afford to.
Doesn’t make it a good idea, of course.

He’s lobbied for more than a few jobs while at Memphis. He even tried to get them into the A-10. Unless he’s just given up and is sticking around for the 2.5 mil annuity they have for him if he stays there I could see his name surfacing, though I don’t know that Depaul would want him.

Lutz to Depaul? :rolleyes:
Doyel has some thoughts on the DePaul vacancy…
[b]So will DePaul, assuming the school's next hire is a slam dunk ([Bobby] Gonzalez, Brian Gregory) instead of a risk (Rick Majerus, Tim O'Shea) or an outright disaster (Digger Phelps).[/b]Sportsline.com: [url=http://www.sportsline.com/collegebasketball/story/8392300]Virginia hires right candidate after convoluted search[/url]
BTW, I’m hearing that Dayton’s Gregory is NOT interested in the DePaul job.
