Yes, Schertz is one, the other who withdrew is Jerrod Calhoun (Utah State).

- Thread starter JP4CY
- Start date
And they both want Cincy. It'll be interesting to see who gets picked. I'd take Schertz.
Schertz is signing a long term deal to stay at Saint Louis. Wow.
They are going to absolutely run that league.

I think that's good for basketball but I wonder what the buyout is.
Smart move. He can have a long run there and make the tourney a lot and doesn't have to play hardcore $$ game with recruits. A lot better than being pretty good at a P4 and getting fired because you make the tourney every other year.
I'll bet they got him close to $2.5M and SLU has the biggest NIL budget in that league by a ways. It's a great job.
Was going to cost them $15 million to fire him.
Almost as wild as the decision to sign him to a three year extension 2 summers ago. Dude is NOT a good coach and his resume almost exclusively rides on two solid years at OU with Blake Griffin on the team. He's made exactly one tournament in 11 seasons as a head coach without having the #1 pick on his team lol
I guess I'm just not quite on the Schertz bandwagon just yet. All of his good D1 seasons have included Robbie Avila who's a very good mid major player. It reminds me a lot of the Stirtz and Ben McCollum run which was fine as mid major but we've all seen how that one has played out moving up. It's not that I don't think Schertz is a good/great coach, I'd just be hesitant to put all my chips in at this point if I were making a hire. I guess it mostly would depend on who else is available at the time too.
VCU and Dayton committ quite a bit to basketball too. Be interesting to see if Grant retires and who they hire if he does.
He interviewed at K-State but I haven't heard of any other interest anywhere.
We'll see what ends up opening but I'd be pretty surprised if he doesn't retire in Cedar Falls.
