    Well, I think Hill is facing an interesting situation, with guys like bennett and johnson allegedly reporting no interest, he's got to decide if he wants to take the guy likely to not turn him down (Gotfried) or wait until some of the other names on the list become available (Rose, Taylor, R. Bennett etc...)

    Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.

      Thank you for coming to a Ute thread and telling us that. We appreciate your support.

        Hill is in a really tough situation, when Dave Rose would be completely unacceptable to his fanbase (reference SU). I think that's what SMR is pointing out.
        At least the Big Ten went after a big-time addition in Nebraska; the Pac-10 wanted a game so badly, it added Utah

          SU is the Utah fanbase?

            Don't be coy, LAU! You yourself have said that Dave Rose isn't the right fit at Utah.
            Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

              I have said several times that I'd be happy if he becomes our coach, but I just don't see him making that move. And yes, heads would explode all over Cougardom. I wouldn't enjoy that (except in a few cases) but it would happen.

              • More competition for Utah's coaching vacancy. Sidney Lowe fired at NC State.

                  Sweet the more trash on the street the better chances the Utes step in it.

                  I love how they are so excited about landing guys on the hot seat at their current jobs. Jobs that are better and much easier to win at then Utah yet these guys continue to fail. For some reason they think they will come to Utah and immediately win games.

                    I guess Sidney Lowe is another one of these "big name" coaches that are allegedly considering Utah? Along with the current list of big names, I mean.

                    Are any of these big names coaching in the tournament? I honestly don't know. I assume no but you never know.

                      You really think it is easier to win at Virginia than at Utah?

                      History says you are dead wrong. Other than the Ralph Sampson era, Virginia basketball has not been good.

                      So Tony Bennett and Trent Johnson are bad hires and won't win at Utah, but Rice I'm sure will win and win big.

                        I'm not real worried about the NC State vacancy. They are likely to be looking for coaches with east coast ties while we are looking for coaches with west coast ties.

                        Also, NC State is an overrated job. They will always be at best 3rd in the state behind Duke and UNC and arguably 4th behind Wake Forest. NC State is a really tough job to win at. Utah has its disadvantages and it will be a tough gig, but not nearly as tough as NC State.

                          It's a non-factor. I'm more worried about Oklahoma; Arkansas to a lesser degree.

                          • Fresno state just opened up. More competition for the utes....

                            Yes I am aware Utah is a better job.
