Unless someone can lure him away with a big, big paycheck, I don't think Porter Moser is going anywhere for a while. As he said in an interview in the Omaha World Herald this week -- I'm just a Catholic kid from Chicago. He's a huge Cubs fan and he is "home". I think he wants to raise his kids there. If Loyola can find a way to get him a million bucks a year or so, I just don't see anyone pulling him out of there. Unlike football, where you pretty much have to be in a P5 if you ever want to sniff the playoffs, Bball is made for schools like Loyola. Gonzaga, WSU and now Loyola have demonstrated that you don't have to be in a P6 conference to get to the final four. And that doesn't bode well for DePaul trying to recruit against him for Chicago kids, IMO.
There is already a strong contingent of alumni that are demanding action and being vocal for change. Unfortunately, the decision to keep the current leadership and administration in place is 100% political. They are very much rooted in the school and connected to the right people in the city. There is not a single AD in the whole country that would be able to remain in place after 14 years of repeated failure, not to mention three head coaching hires that all have finished at the bottom of their respective conference. Zero. Very unfortunate.
