Apparently, the Fordham board says that academics aren't the impediment they once were. Francesa says they don't lower their standards for basketball players but the posters there say that they definitely have since they joined the A-10. They say Francesa doesn't know what he is talking about, or he is just saying that because of his relationship with Pecora. Evidently, they take partial qualifiers. Partial qualifiers!!! That's a long way to fall from Fordham's general admissions standards. Francesa used to be the best guy for College hoops. Now he is one of the worst.

Francessa knows zip about much any more, once he got kids it changed, which is funny because he used ask Russo how he didn't watch stuff, but Russo still watched more than Francessa now

Toole turned them down. They're going to either hire an assistant, or throw big money at a guy like Cluess, as their options narrow!

It's either going to be an assistant from a big time winning program, or someone who has won more than Baggett on the Mid-Major level.

Fordham's program has such a toxic reputation that their best bet is probably an older established coach looking for a payday pathway to retirement (maybe Baron) or a guy in need of redemption and out of other options (Welsh or Rice possibly). Hard to see someone with a real future stepping into that circus.

I can't see Fordham taking an assistant, but the Fordham board is talking up former player, Jerry Hobbie, who is now an assistant at a BCS school. Though I forget which one. And I'm not saying that Baggett would be a bad hire, but I think it will be hard for the diehards to get excited about him, considering they were talking up Ben Howland and Bobby Hurley. It might be a mistake to make a quick hire and then have someone better come on the market. I remember five years ago when Tom Pecora was the 'hot' candidate. Pecora wanted the SJU job, but rumor had it going to a guy (I forget his name), who turned down the job at the last moment. By then Pecora had signed and SJU had to settle for Lavin.

Does anyone think that former FF coach, Tim O'Toole, has a shot at the job? I have no idea if he's even interested, but he's now an assistant to Johnny Dawkins at Stanford. And I'm not saying it because the name rhymes with Andy Toole.

I think they have a real crisis there. When the Toole thing was leaked on twitter about 1000 people tweeted that Toole was nuts. Who would feel good about going there right now? Someone with absolutely no options. Its almost like people would think its a good job for a guy who is basically a loser and shouldn't expect to do any better. Wow. Firing Pecora got them a lot of bad publicity and started the "no one can win there chorus" up. Toole may have just driven the last nail in the coffin. If I'm Baggett, I'm asking for at least $1 million per.

Surprised to hear Baggett is in the mix. Would imagine they'd have been better off keeping Pecora another year if their best option is Baggett.

Why would an assistant from a big time winning program or a successful mid-major coach take that job? Opportunity for an assistant. There still are plenty of individuals out there who think they're head coaching material, and cocky enough to think they can win at Fordham. Compensation for a mid-major. If Fordhamm came to a guy like Cluess and said; we'll handle the buyout, and pay you 850,000 base per year for 5 years, he'd be a fool not to take it. Whether he thinks he could win or not!
