Barring any snags on St. John's end concerning Lavin he will be our next head coach. I think the contract gets done today. Expect announcement. Also the guys mentioned for his staff is very legit. We have to send Greg Anthony a thank you card if everything works out I'll explain at a later time.

This coaching search really has made me despise the term "snag"

I think it would be a huge mistake if they did not get the deal done today.

If not Lavin, then who else?  I think the Monasch would realize this and make sure Lavin doesnt leave without a deal.

BTW, i wasnt initially on the Lavin bandwagon but the more i have read about him and the possibilities regarding the staff this is without a doubt the best option out there right now.  Get it Done Chris...

  I can't wait till this is official!  Exciting to hear that Lavin desires to be HERE.  This is a change from what we are used to hearing. Missing out on Hewitt willbe a blessing in disguise.   Can we send flowers from the Jungle to Mrs. Hewitt and his children?
   The staff would be sick.  We are back!  We are relevent again! We are...

  Its nice to hear he wants to be here, of course.  Everyone else seemed to use us for leverage.  That being said, what is he supposed to say?  I think its great!

They're probably burning up the phones to find a source to tell them what you said.

That's awesome...that would be my fear is that he wouldn't fully commit and leave after a few years.  hopefuly he wants to establish a real legacy here and can convince the admin to make a big commitment.
