Cbs alert Chris mullin to accept job

Nobody knows his complete staff because its not filled except for one spot...yes he has offers out and LOTS of interest and yes the names are VERY exciting but as of now nothing but verbal interactions

I think it's all filled, but for 1 spot. Let's see

Won't be the only alum on bench either. 

Terrance? Werdann? Wennington?

Eddie Kennedy?

Could Matt & Slice both be on the staff or would it be just one of them? Might be a stupid question.

PJ would be interesting as X and O guy. Coached him in Barcelona and GS. 

Good thought

Why a stupid question? Thinking we may need more of a coach ?

A butthurt Rutgerts guy wouldn't expect anything less.

Don't need to read past this sentence to know what an idiot this guy is:

Chris Mullin, the three-time Big East Player of the Year and all-time leading scorer for the Redmen before most sensible people decided that Redmen was an offensive nickname for a college team.

He also tried to compare Eddie Jordan to Chris Mullin. Chris Mullin played on the Dream Team, every kid knows of the Dream Team even if they don't know about how good Mullin actually was as a player at St. John's

What's crazy about this writer is that the other day he wrote t Seton Hall and Rutgers are screwed if St. John's hires Danny Hurley, so it's not like he's some unabashed St. John's hater, he just for some reason sees this as Eddie Jordan redux where I think with the right staff it will either be its own result or ideally more like Hoiberg

Seton Hall and Rutgers are screwed because they are in New Jersey, and because they are Seton Hall and Rutgers. Still, we don't know if he's right in saying that this is a bad hire. He doesn't know. There's no history except someone else's to point to.

And I had never even heard of Eddie Jordan before Rutgers hired him.

Words cannot properly express how much i hate this whole argument:

Here's the problem: That current 16-year-old power forward? The high school star who is looking at the one-and-done machine at Kentucky as his easy path to NBA riches? He doesn't care about what happened in 1985 in Queens. He wasn't alive in 1985. Chances are, his parents didn't know or care what was happening in 1985.

Anyone in NYC knows who Mullin is. When I wasn't even a St. John's or a basketball fan I knew who Mullin was. I didn't even know Eddie Jordan played basketball.

lol I was born in the 90s and know about Mullin.

The Redmen crack was uncalled for...Most articles have stated that Mullin is a risk, but the risk is worth it.

The biggest issues with

also doesn't even look like Danny Hurley was available, he was just using this opening as leverage to get a nice extension at URI, which I can't blame him for

Politi has no idea with regards to assistants or what this means to NYC or SJU.  His perspective is strictly from the angle that SJU could have hired Hurley.  No Hurley means no success.  He has no clue outside of that perspective.  He wouldn't know a SJU target or an SJU fan or Carnesecca arena if you drew him a map.  Remember he just wrote an article about SHU and RU crying because they may lose Hurley to SJU.  Now that is not going to happen thus his article today...

Absolutely right.

He's infatuated with the Hurleys, which is fine.  But just recognize that's his only perspective.

He doesn't have a clue, and neither does anyone. Sometimes it works, like with Bird, and other times it's a disaster, like with Clyde Drexler. How Mullin handles recruiting will be pretty clear this Spring, but this debate is an empty argument on either side until he's coaching an actual game - something he's never done before.

Hope this staff pans out as rumored.   Would be huge.
