This is pretty much my point. Would Johnson even have been in the running at program like Loyola, Drake etc if they hypothetically became open? I doubt it. If he's making more than 1.5/yr he's being vastly overpaid.

That's a shitty reason to hire someone.
I thought I saw where they wanted someone with a natty under their belt?
Especially when the trend is to overpay incoming coaches and then betting on the come.

i'm convinced that Thad Matta is done coaching
you guys can say that "well, he's reasonable young", but man, he looks awful. Matta has serious health issues and a guy that can't give it 100% on the recruiting trail shouldn't be the head coach at a high major.
Matta showed a bit of interest in Wake last year, but he didn't get past the initial interview. while Wes Miller and Pat Kelsey did. Matta is done.

Heard the Hoosiers had a deal in place, but he couldn’t pass a physical.
Sucks. He’s a helluva coach.
"Splain me this Lucy". Indiana wants a guy to coach their storied hoops program that wasn't good enough/healthy enough to remain at Ohio State?
I think they were hoping that time away to rest was helpful for him. He is/was a great coach, but like hitman was talking about, his health sunk him
Damn! Him and Urban both. You guys are hard on a coach's health!

Minnesota, more than most imo, is obsessed with local recruits, Johnson is well respected with local basketball community
Coyle is banking on that. We'll see how it goes

Coaching hires can be a crap shoot. Sometimes those "questionable" hires turn out to be great coaches.
That would narrow it down to a few active coaches; Jim Boeheim, Jay Wright, Tom Izzo, Coach K, Roy Williams, Tony Bennett, Calipari, Tubby Smith, Jim Calhoun, and Bill Self. That ain't happening.

Jim Calhoun is still alive?
Hell he was still coaching some D3 school last year. He may have finally retired but I didn't want to look it up.
