Andy Katz: DePaul to Name Dave Leitao Head Coach

[Bill Marsh]

Sometimes the grass isn't greener.

Let's see what happens at St. John's.

I'm sure I'll be able to view this rationally in a few days, but right now It's like having the bases loaded and nobody out and hitting into a triple play followed by the stadium catching on fire and the franchise announcing that they're ceasing operations.

I'm sure our inevitable move the Horizon League is right around the corner.

Relax, it's not that bad. Hopefully, he brings back Jerry Wainwright as an assistant.

I actually don't see it as an awful hire. Like I posted last night, his teams at DePaul did things that the Purnell DePaul teams were not good at. Rebounded the ball. Not put the other team on the line.

And Jean Lenti Ponsetto strikes again. She probably saw the contract demands made by Drew and Hurley, and then realized she didn't want her men's basketball head coach to be making more than Doug Bruno.

There will be a day where DePaul is competitive again. That day won't be tomorrow or next year, but it will be when a full house cleaning takes full effect.

Chicago High School coaches are less than enthused.

WTF.

Oliver Purnell made $2.2 million/year.

Next.

DePaul gonna DePaul.

Depaul really went out and Depauled this coaching search. Its sad that i thought they would actually make a decent hire.

This has to be a joke. DePaul needs a young aggressive coach.

Sadly no. This is just DePaul doing DePaul things.
It's just laughable at this point.
