Seems like the making of a big time hire.

if he has an above .500 season he's going to demand a new 10 year extension or move back up to a better job, but that is what it is for depaul

That "is what it is" for just about every team. Hell, Kansas had Roy Williams walk out on it. That being said, I agree with your premise, DePaul does suck.

This is a Big Time move and shows that DePaul wants to play for real. I wonder what his assistants are going to look like. I wonder if a guy like Kleinschmidt would want one of those jobs. If he does that would be a great hire. Obvious Chicago/DePaul ties and has connections to all of the big time programs in the city plus AAU through the Illinois Wolves program.

OSU taking off once this guy was fired isn't a great look. But its Depaul, maybe they wont suck for the first time in 20 years.

meh, that happens with pretty much every team in all of sports when they make a mid season coaching change.

Doesn't matter how good a coach this guy is, all that matters is what the NIL budget will be.

I think he was also the defensive coach at Loyola, which was the generator of their success without stars or height.

Depaul blew a big lead to Creighton and now are in double overtime.

Looking for the first time to win two games in the tournament. 20 seasons

They had a good end to the season, relatively speaking. They are definitely a different looking team with Holtman. I like the direction he has them in

They guard. That's about it. The PG looked to not have the freedom to blow by the grindy Wojo-like floor slapper who was in his face 35 ft from the hoop.

I don't think they could put together several years combined where they won the 14 they won this year. That's a good year 1 and that guy in the glasses is only a sophomore.
