I'm starting to get the feeling our salary budget is decidedly subpar.
Who Should OSU Hire as Next Basketball Head Coach?

I’m pretty sure the university is not gonna use single engine airplanes for university business. I’m not real sure they’ll even approve anything that isn’t a jet.
Personally, if a Cessna 400 rolled up to the FBO to pick me up for an interview for head coach of basketball position, I’d go back to the parking lot and drive home.

That would make sense given his background in WA/MT. I have no clue as to $ and/or terms being thrown around as well as comparison.
Interesting tidbit and may not matter in the end but UW AD is headed to Nebraska per announcement last week. I guess that could cut both ways for Sprinkle if he goes to UW. Also, you have to factor in UW will be headed to B10 (good luck with that) so that bball job will only get harder to stay relevant.
And the Houston/A&M game was just crazy.

Unless the train has gone completely off the tracks, I would hope we hear an announcement today or tomorrow.
Give ADCW time to work.
Correct.

We are a value oriented University. Fly there in a 400 and rent a Bombardier Global for a couple of hours on the runway to conduct the interview on.
I believe the mess comment was over stated. Are there challenges yes, but using the word mess gets clicks. I wonder how McCollum will be received though if he is the selection since likely others were the first choice.

Don’t know why anyone would be panicking at this point. A couple of solid candidates just finished up their seasons yesterday. Stargazer said the hire won’t be made until after April 15 
. If we get to that date without a coach, yes, there should be panic and it’s “a mess”.
Coaches are always going to look for long term security. Unsurprisingly based on past experience, Chad is going to be hesitant to grant much of that. I’d imagine that to be a bigger issue in discussions than annual salary or NIL.

This is why I'm not worried. Lots of good candidates. Sprinkle, Medved, Kelsey, Lutz, McCullom. I read a little about Medved and he's moved up my list. If we end up with McCullom, I'll be a little worried about the first few years, but he's a winner. I know I and others really wanted DeVries, but objectively, none are a definite home run and all come with some risks.
Based on the most recent grid posted above by Poke2010, it seems fair to assume that two of the four listed in this post are going to either stay or move to a school in their geographic area, Sprinkle and Kelsey. That leaves Medved and McCollum. Medved doesn't impress me. McCollum does. Hope ADCW offers McCollum.
I wouldn't hate McCullom, but be prepared for the hate train from the general fans, and its a lot of risk for Weiberg's first major hire.

Why does there seem to be no mention of Bryce Drew? Is it because of his Vandy stint? His time at GCU has been very impressive and his team competed very well against Alabama in the second round.

I would be happy to get him. Not sure why he hasn't moved up before now but, that track reacord is impressive.
