Believe it or not, that's the rumor....
Also......rumors that the first schools who are likely to fire their present head coaches as soon as the season ends....
Detroit (they are already talking with...believe it or not....Kelvin Sampson
Rice
TCU
Penn State
Georgia - losing streak puts Dennis Felton's job at risk
High Point
Elon
Providence
Stetson
Western Illinois (this rumor comes up every year)
Mercer
Jacksonville State
South Dakota State
Seattle
James Madison
San Houston State (their head coach Bob Marlin will get offers elsewhere, they are 22-6 this year with wins at Texas Tech & St. Louis, and Central Florida)
Oregon (Ernie Kent has not won over the big money people)
Florida State (rumors starting there)
Cal (same thing)
UW-Green Bay (they are already talking to ex- Indiana assistant Rob Senderoff)
Oklahoma after Jeff Capel takes the open spot in the SEC at South Carolina
and Memphis if they win the NCAA Title, because John Calipari will be offered $2 milion+ by a couple NBA teams.
Look for Porter Moser and Jim Molinari to get their names in on some of these spots.......
By the way....here are the D-I openings as they are confirmed so far...
Arizona - Lute Olson stepped down - Kevin O'Neill is interim coach...at least for now.....
Arkansas State - Dickey Nutt fired
Detroit - Perry Watson steps down
Indiana - Kelvin Sampson is out - Dan Dakich is interim coach

New Jersey Institute of Technology - Jim Casciano resigns - Wendell Alexis serving interim coach
Oregon State - Jay John was fired - Kevin Mouton is interim coach
Pepperdine - Vince Wahlberg resigned - Eric Bridgeland is interim coach, Tom Asbury will take over next season
San Francisco - Jessie Evans steps down - Eddie Sutton takes over but doesn't want to coach beyond the end of the season
South Carolina - Dave Odom retiring after the end of the season
