This thread and the carousel thread are redundant. We should just keep one thread open to keep things easier for everyone IMO. Not only that, they basically cover the same stuff.

Interesting perspective for me: Northern KY coach gets Cincinnati job. We are so fortunate to have/keep TC.

This really needs to get resolved by tomorrow. The 4 day dead period on the recruiting calendar begins tomorrow, followed by 6 days of a live recruiting period. IF Cluess does go to SJU, Iona will really fall way behind in recruiting if this drags on too long.

Very strange, 10 million rumors and now nothing.

That Cluess hasn't said anything, at least in my opinion, tells me they're still trying to work out a deal. I'm hoping to see a statement from Tim similar to Hurley's in the next day or two but that's just wishful thinking.I'm sure he knows that it will effect recruiting if something isn't done soon.

Agree with you, jerseygael.

Agree with the above, silence out of Iona/Cluess can only be interpreted as conversations are still going on. You could probably come up with 50 scenarios as to why the delay but the longer Cluess leaves his name in the ring, indicates his real level of interest. What is very surprising to me is his leaving his coaches and players out there so long, must have been a hard week for them. At this point he knows each day or uncertainty effects recruiting lets see how long he is onboard with that.

I wonder if Iona has offered Cluess an extension? It worked at ASU, Hurley pulled his name out of the running. Maybe they offered one but Cluess really wants the SJU job.

It’s like waiting on a jury verdict, there’s nothing we can do. We can try to read the tea leaves of the time the jury has been out but the bottom line is that no one knows the outcome until the verdict is read.
I know I hope that TC stays - hopefully, we will all know soon.
Go Gaels!!!

He’s under contract until he is 65. Another five years I think at $600k per. That’s $3 million of guaranteed money no matter how well he performs, without the scrutiny of loony SJ’s fans, half of whom don’t want a coach out of the “shitty MAAC Conference.” Don’t know why he needs an extension, but as a show of good faith maybe the school could raise his salary a bit. If I were him and I was asking for anything it would be more money for facilities, but that is just me.

I think the PAC-10 has better schools top to bottom. Hurley next job will be Duke. He has no interest ( or will ever)in another college BB job.
