USF turns coaching search to Louisiana-Lafayette's Evans
April 12, 2004
By Gregg Doyel
SportsLine.com Senior Writer
A week after being spurned by Purdue's Gene Keady, San Francisco's search has turned to a head coach whose team actually reached the 2004 NCAA Tournament -- Jessie Evans of Louisiana-Lafayette.
According to multiple sources, Evans has become a candidate in one of the more entertaining coaching searches of this offseason, a process that has included Keady, former USF star Bill Cartwright and Connecticut assistant Clyde Vaughan.
Now that Vaughan has withdrawn from consideration, Evans' top competition for the USF job could be the man who replaced him on Lute Olson's staff at Arizona -- Rodney Tention, a USF alum.
Evans is 132-81 in seven seasons at Louisiana-Lafayette, with three consecutive 20-win seasons and two overall appearances in the NCAA Tournament. Before that he was Olson's assistant for nine seasons. That position at Arizona went to Tention when Evans left for Louisiana-Lafayette after the Wildcats' 1997 national championship.

I can't see Evans leaving either, but he hasn't signed the extension that we offered him. I know sometimes it just details that keep people from signing contracts, but if he hasn't signed yet then who knows what he's thinking.
