Report: Missouri's AD is looking at Jim Les for head coach

[tornado]

This report comes from St. Louis Post Dispatch's Bernie Miklasz,
who writes a lot about what's going on at University of Missouri.

He talks about possible candidates for the head coaching position at Mizzou, and names names.

He talks a bit about John Beilein, Chris Lowery, and others, but
one of the names he mentions is Jim Les, note 12th paragraph:

I would hope BU has Jim locked up for a few more years with an extension.

Don't believe it
They have the money and will hire a proven coach so they will not get hit with criticism

[WaylonJ]

Come back down to reality.
Just read the PJ Star, because they are so kind to point out how bad of a team BU really is.
On one of the most upbeat days any Bradley fan has had in one or two decades, why do we have to see this cr*p in our local rag about how bad they've been most of the season?

The PJS is sudenly on BU's bandwagon.
KW seemed genuinely happy BU won, but it does rob him of a little of what he usually writes about.

I overheard one of the guys interviewing Jim Les after the game, and in addition to all the usual questions about how it feels, etc.
there was one question from one of the CBS guys about whether the team will be back in the NCAA next year.
Jim suggested we are here to stay.

[Grassman]

When he was hired, in his introductory speech, Jim said, "this is the ONLY coaching job I EVER wanted!"
I believe Jim bleeds BU Red and that it would take a lot of bucks to lure him away!
I have learned never to say never, but --------------

If true, our attitude should be that of a cop at a crime scene--"keep on movin' folks--nothin' to see here!" Of course, high-profile wins like Friday night can only serve to put a successful coach in the limelight. Turgeon, Altman, and McDermott are being courted by bigger schools. Will they bite?

I take the same approach bbrave does on this. GOOD. If players leave early (for pro's) and our coaches are getting looks from BCS schools it means we are doing things right and most likely winning.
