Mack will almost surely double, maybe even triple, his income at Florida. Hard to fault him for taking the job if offered, even if it does mean leaving your home town.

Does XU have the ability to break open the checkbook to keep him? Or do they just say thanks for your time and don't even counter offer?

I'm not convinced Mack is an elite coach. He's really good, but I don't think he's on the same level as Miller or Mata were before they left.

Does Anthony Grant stay if someone else comes in as head coach?

 

He's a great defensive mind.

If I'm them I let him go and look to make my own hire. Xavier might have the money to do it, but that doesn't mean they have to spend the money.

I thought I heard/read somewhere that Grant was going to Oklahoma City with Donovan. Anybody else hear that?

Bigger question goes XU want to?

While I somewhat agree, have to remember that the academic standards for XU are not the same as many other schools, that plays a part.

If Mack leaves for Florida, I'd be somewhat surprised if Travis Steele didn't end up replacing him.

Mack wanted the Tennessee job when it opened and was rumored to Texas.

 

Leaving his hometown isn't an issue.

Read that one of his assistants was going to coach the D League, but it didn't say which one, Grant or Pelfrey.

He would have to want to stay for that to matter, and from what I've heard he wants out.

Being reported that Louisiana Tech's Michael White has emerged as the leading candidate for the job.

 

Shocked. Does this mean Miller, Mack, and Pitino all said no?

Makes you wander how much those coaches buy outs are?

A good choice IMO!
