I think the odds are about as good as winning the lottery, but I wouldn’t be upset if it happened. Would like to see others like Lonergan considered, and he would be affordable, perhaps cheap. I agree that we are no longer a top destination for basketball coaches, many of the good ones would have to be “sold” on the job, and would likely require significant money.

I wouldn't be upset in the slightest if JMU hired Pitino. Not going to happen, though.
Lonergan... maybe. I still think there's too much drama for JMU's admin even if the drama isn't real.

Lonergan has baggage but he's only 53 and I'm sure he's got something to prove.

I like Randolph Macon's Merkel who's 41 but might want a bigger job than ours.

My choice would be Lonergan.....
