He withdrew his name from consideration which means he didn't have an offer. if he had the offer in hand, it would be said he turned it down.

That's the only reason I was glad Eddie Jordan got hired actually. I got so sick of him being THE best choice because he knew the program.
I think it would be a good hire (and would take his results in a heartbeat), but the guy made the NCAAs once in 8 years and was above .500 in conference twice so he's not statue material (IMO). A much better hire than I would have expected though.
Four 20 win seasons would sure be nice.
I think its a local guy. Just my hunch. Don't see how it can be anyone in the Dance though IF its going to be announced this week.
I would not be happy with this selection. We need a young, energetic coach who is going to reinvigorate the fan base. After he lost the first 3 games, we'll be calling him Tim ClueLESS!
God I hope not. Of all the coaches mentioned, he is the one I want the least. I'd take Williams over him.
I see that name, and I see the Star Ledger jumping on the obvious. As soon as he hit a bump in the road, and given our talent level there will be major bumps in the 1st couple of seasons, that nickname will emerge. Not a reason to not hire him, but I would not be overwhelmed by it.
Why would bringing Billet back as an assistant be a tip off? What does Billet have to do with Dawkins?
I think Williams is the only guy I wouldn't take over him, but I'm in the same camp.. what a buzz kill.
I'm hearing it's gonna be Merrick Garland.
Just thinking both are former guards, one a former player..Just a hunch...I still think Dawkins may be the new name because he was just let go..
His source is the Subway on Easton Ave.
Bobby Knight?
I wouldn't put anything to this as the MILF's at the Hillsborough Deli aren't getting excited and moist yet.:stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

That would be great if it were Sendek, and both sides set up the public to think it wasn't going to happen, due to all the early "info" about him that was out here.
Sendek remains my number one guy
Not a bad resume

BTW, I was at the deli Saturday morning. The yoga pants are doing just fine... not on me of course.
Great basketball pedigree makes Dawkins plausible but is he known to be a hard nosed recruiter. Honestly, I don't know but that's not the impression I get from him. Dooley has a great pedigree too but I don't know how much of hard nosed recruiter he is. He seems to have more of that tenacity to be described like that though. Sendek or Lonergan who I like as well have nice pedigrees too but are they considered tough recruiters? Funny how we're all parsing words with a fine tooth comb to figure out who it could be. But that's what we do on message boards right, lol.
