Big butt nation is now all in on Donovan, and is deluding themselves that he has been hinting he was interested. Media person points out he hasn't said "no" and "could have." Okay.
Best hire would be throw crazy money at Sampson and tell him he can coach as long as he wants as long as he retires with the program on solid footing. That guy can coach and recruit. Had he not [uck fay]ed up at Indiana he would have a few titles by now there. Age is his biggest problem right now.
