Gene to interview for Gophers job

[THEsocalledfan]

Goetz didn't have any real experience. She also approved Pitino's extension and hired Claeys without seriously considering anybody else.

For the first time in a long time the Gophers did the right thing. That's no guarantee of success of course but it's a good start.

Couldn't have said it better. That Claeys situation was such a tough deal. With that said, the right thing to do would have been when USD did in a similar situation for BBall.....you hire Claeys as interim for the year with no guarantees, then do a solid search with him as a candidate. Yes, you risk recruiting/assistant coaches leaving, but a bad hire can set your program back 5-10 years. All I can conclude it someone really, really liked him.

Will Gene come up for the Syracuse job, or another job that may open, just like coaching there is a trail to follow...
Sounds to me like the Gopher's have alot of things to work on...

It'd be nice to see them get moving in the right direction.

How old is Barta? I'd think he would likely slide into the Iowa AD job at some point.

Barta is younger than Gene.
