Didn't the Panty just do a big story about Porter and everybody's plans for next year?
Did they also not see any hint of this coming?

i don't know what's so laughable about that.
The team returns everyone of significance but Dilligard. I don't see them challenging for a league title per se, but it's not entirely laughable. the right coach might get more out of the roster than people expect. You never know.

He was very interested in the job when Tom Richardson was hired. That was a long time ago for sure, but the athletic department is in much better hands now than it was then.
I would think he would have interest given his ties to the University, the facilities in place, the commitment to winning, the strength of the Valley and the returning roster. He might be tired of being an indian and would rather be Chief.
I think Zenger would be making a mistake if he doesn't look into the possibility. personally, he's my #1 choice followed by Jankovich.
FoxSports is the first legitimate organization to mention Wayne McClain being considered for the Illinois State job--
http://msn.foxsports.com/cbk/story/6533744
Scroll down to the section titled-- "Coaching scuttlebutt"
I recall that this writer has not had a great record of accuracy in his predictions, though.
For the record, I will give my prediction- Wayne McClain might get an interview, but I predict ISU goes with a younger, dynamic personality, one with local/regional ties.
Interesting to note one of the other names mentioned --
Binghamton's Al Walker was fired with one season left on his contract. Look for Vanderbilt assistant and former North Carolina player King Rice to have a shot. Rice was a former high school star in Binghamton
King Rice is a former assistant at Illinois State. He is infamous for a heated exchange he had with an Illinois State fan behind the ISU bench at a home game back in January, 1997. He was suspended for a game for charging into the stands and threatening the fan.

Pantagraph stories on possible replacements for Moser.

Chris Collins gets the most ink, and they are sure his presence alone will fill 1,000 more seats!
But the writer is pretty sure it won't be Collins.

If by "they" you mean Randy Kindred is sure 1,000 more seats would be sold, then yes "they" do. I didn't read anywhere in there that Illinois State thought 1,000 more seats would be sold.
Regardless, Kindred is right. It's not likely that Chris wants the job.

From what i understand, the job is WIDE open. Zenger refused to comment when pressed on the issue as to what he is looking for specifically because he didn't want to possibly turn off a potential candidate. I believe he will target a few guys, but also look closely at submitted resumes.
I would suspect some of the names on the list will be contacted as well as a couple others that aren't on it. Zenger will keep things close to the vest for sure and I imagine it will be at least a couple weeks before it gets narrowed down to 5-6 people.
This may be a case similar to the NFL in that if he is targetting a guy that is in the NCAA's he will obviously have to wait until said team/candidate is eliminated.
The search and speculation will be interesting.

Yet another example of the stupidy and hypocrisy that drips from that terrible board and 90% of its fanbase. All last year and this year they termed Osiris a "nice mid-major player", "not good enough for Illinois and the Big 10", "we don't need to compete with ISU for players", "This kid won't do anything" blah, blah, blah blah
That board has the biggest crop of jack-a**es I've ever seen on any MB in my life.
That said, I'm sure St. Bruce of Chambana will be making a couple calls as soon as his season is over. I'm sure he'd love to have him.

Illinois has the Rivals message boards, and the scout message boards, BUT this was in a discussion on Brumbaugh's independent "Illinihoopsboard"
http://forums.illiniboard.com/boards/?hoops
In the thread titled
"Any chance McClain goes to ISU?"
It starts out talking about whether Wayne McClain woud want the ISU job, then the topic generally migrates a bit until a guy posts:
"if ISU gets McClain, we can take this guy:
http://redbirdfan.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6613&sid=4d1c2b810a0807dfe2f5111357d5b20c
I like McClain, but I think we need some new blood in our assistant coaching staff, i would rather this happens through one of our assistants getting a FT job."
and the link goes to a discussion about Osiris transferring elsewhere.
Then someone else suggests a trade...their assistant coach Price for Osiris.... :lol:
I am sure it's all in jest/tongue in cheek, and I doubt the Illini people really want to get into grabbing someone else's players....but....
I guess in a way it is complimantary towards OE as he is the only player on ISU that they seem to indicate an interest in.
