Self has an out for Arkansas and UCLA. Those are his dream jobs it is true. Rick and Rainwater also said as much. He coached at Oral Roberts and Tulsa, so I am guessing the this is his favorite part of the country. Also, don't forget we are the 8th greatest bball school in the history of bball.

You aren't near as good at starting rumors and getting them rolling as the congregation of KSUFans.com

Neither Gillespie nor Self would leave their current programs that are currently on top to go save a program that is falling in the SEC.

People like challenges.

[michigancat]

Why would he leave and give up the opportunity to chance Cole Aldrich and Tyrel Reed?

Holy crap!! I'm in the News!

Chuck Barrett has a statewide sports radio talkshow in Arkansas.  Tonight he claimed that he had sources in the Arkansas Athletic Dept. that said Bill Self was open to discussing the coaching position at Arkansas.

Barrett said he "would love to see Bill Self come to Arkansas, if for no other reason than to shut up the Kansas fans who say he would never leave their storied program for a place like Arkansas."

uh-oh

the shocker link goes to some UA (or whatever they are) link and this GEM is there, by the original author who mentioned Self as a candidate:

I do like Bill Self.... But what about Bruce Weber? Could we not get hm from the Illini? I think that he would be great for the job.......

No offense, but Bruce Webber is a pipedream, IMO. Would you leave Illinois and the Chicago, St. Louis, KC recruiting base for NWA [northwest ark]? I wouldn't.

wow.

when mangino makes more than you, when fan expectations are national championship or bust, and you have a history of job-jumping, it might not be completely out of the question. 

self would be dumb to do it, but, hey, no one accused him of being the smartest dude ever.

A good coach with that talent would destroy the Big XII. I hope Self stays.

That doesn't even make sense RkChlk

Wait a minute.  If there really is a Shocker board- and I have a hard time believing you didn't just make this all up- what was The Shocker doing over on our board all season?

(and where is he now?)

[BoWinkle]

WTF?  Who has the boner?

Huge fan.

[RckChlkHawks]

That doesn't even make sense RkChlk

sorry I forgot to dumb it down for you.....means having a coach like Thuggins around will ensure we keep pounding on you year in and out

[waks]

So by his logic, we have talent and just a crappy coach. Ok.

The heading for the men's basketball board: How will the Shocks follow up their Sweet 16 from last season?

I don't read KSUFans.com anymore. Are the Shockers still around? Amazing that they followed that up with a losing season in the conference and Kyle Wilson as their leading scorer.

As a slap in the face, I don't post on their mens basketball board anymore.  They are too irrelevant in the grand scheme of things to be worried about.

• Forget it, Arkansas: ku coach Self on Tuesday scoffed at reports he might be interested in the Arkansas job amid published reports he’d be a leading candidate if coach Stan Heath is fired.

Harry King of the Arkansas News Bureau wrote “that those who are convinced that Self would be willing to listen cite his desire to be closer to Edmond, Okla. (hometown), and his reported disgust with criticism every time Kansas loses early in the NCAA Tournament.”

“I would say obviously he (King) doesn’t know my situation very well,” Self said, not wanting to further debunk rumors considering Arkansas has a coach in Stan Heath.

Suffice it to say Self has no interest in the Arkansas job.

Other coaches mentioned as possible Arkansas coaches in media reports: Doc Sadler (Nebraska), Billy Gillispie (Texas A&M), Mike Anderson (Missouri) and Mark Turgeon (Wichita State).

man am i relieved.

Mark Turgeon a candidate for Arkansas? Not after this year!! I think the Turg  will remain at WSU. After this year he is a candidate to move no where.
