[Uncle Ruckus]

I don't keep up with basketball outside the SEC enough to know, but did his name come up in any prior to his coming here?

At his age and after only one year, I doubt it. This feels like a last stop for him.

At his age and after only one year, I doubt it. This feels like a last stop for him.

He's really not that old. He's 58. Coach K is 69. Roy Williams is 65. Boeheim is 71. Lute Olsen coached until 73. Calipari is 57.

It would be a knock against him, but it'd be pretty reasonable to expect another six seasons from him and he's probably as close to a sure thing as you can get. A pessimistic view is he comes in, he takes two years to build, then you get four good years and you're program is in a very desirable place to make a new hire. I suspect he's going to be a guy that will try to coach until he's 70 though.

ETA: Jim Calhoun is another coach that coached until 70.

At this point - and it changes from day to day - it looks like Pitino is coming back. But if he doesn't, Chris Mack is rumored to be the first pick then Miller/Marshall. My guess is Jurich would get pretty deep into his list before he called somebody like Howland.
