Guy Lowman was contacted a week ago about the MSU job, but said he had no interest.

Weiser offered Jim Leavitt, but he didn't want to follow Snyder and said NO. His plan is to watch Prince fail and *then* take the job once expectations have been lowered.
It doesn't look like Prince will fail.

I wouldn't go too far out on that particular limb until we see how his recruiting develops over the next few years.

It isn't much of a limb. He is already bowl eligible. It just depends on whether or not we will pull an NU and fire Prince even if he gets us nine wins..
