March 28, 200719 yr http://chron.com/disp/story.mpl/sports/4668232.html Texas A&M basketball coach Billy Gillispie will remain head coach of the basketball program he has turned into a national power, three high-ranking officials close to and within the A&M system have confirmed. Gillispie apparently has not officially confirmed to athletic director Bill Byrne or the regents that he will accept a new contract that will pay him in the neighborhood of $2 million a year, including guarantees added to the deal that runs through 2012. But regents and athletic department officials feel confident the new deal, and construction on the new A&M basketball facility scheduled to begin Monday, are the guarantees Gillispie was pursuing.
March 28, 200719 yr Author That's a nice offer but it's clear he's still keeping his options open... :thumb: Definitely why I put "expected"... When I first clicked the link, the title "Gillispie will remain head coach at A&M" made it seem like a sure thing.

March 28, 200719 yr So let's see... Rick Pitino - NO John Calipari - NO Bruce Pearl - NO Billy Gillespie - NO There are 2-3 left...things are getting interesting.
March 29, 200719 yr So let's see... Rick Pitino - NO John Calipari - NO Bruce Pearl - NO Billy Gillespie - NO There are 2-3 left...things are getting interesting. Gillispie (its an I, not an E) has not denied interest. Gillispie apparently has not officially confirmed to athletic director Bill Byrne or the regents that he will accept a new contract The administration has said he's coming back, but HE hasn't. So he is FAR from a NO. Pearl was never an option, and Pitino was barely one. So that leaves 1 coach ruled out. Stop being a hater.

You're really becoming obnoxious.
