I have heard from a usually reliable source that Oklahoma is strongly pursuing Porter Moser as their next head coach to replace Lon Kruger, who retired.
Kruger's salary was $3.4 million per year, plus incentives. If they offer that kind of money, it might be hard for Moser to say no.

Yeah, but then he'd have to give up all the traffic and high tax benefits he gets in Chicago.

The fact that Porter Moser is "weighing" this 6-year offer from Oklahoma may not be good for Loyola.

Sounds like its official for Moser to Oklahoma
