Wow they must be tossing him some serious money because he's got a nice thing going at Loyola and a great incoming Frosh class. However he's losing his 2 key guards. If he goes to SJs - can any of his commits backout or get releases? Who takes over for Porter at Loyola? Yaklich?

 

[Adunk33]

Rumor is St. Johns offered Porter the job. If he takes, early names to replace him at Loyola are Yaklich or Bryce Drew.

personally, i'd be surprised if he leaves.

Me too. At Loyola he can do whatever he wants for years with no pressure on him. He has already taken them to the mountain. At St. John's he will be under attack from the jump. If he doesn't get it done in 2-3 years he will bounced out and another guy will fill the vacancy. I suppose St. John's can pay him a boatload more than Loyola, but stranger things have happened.

I would take it in a heartbeat if I was Porter. Even if he fails after 3 years he will have a pile of cash to sit on and will certainly get another chance at a mid-major.

I cannot see Moser leaving Wilmette for NYC area. I also cannot see a Creighton alum wanting to take the reins of another BigEast team....to defeat his alma mater. I think he would be stupid to go.

Mullin was making $2 million per.

If St. John’s offers anything remotely close to that it’s a massive pay raise from what PM is making now.

Take the money and run.

If Porter goes to the Big East, he might have a chance to make it to the final four some day........Oh wait never mind.

I doubt he takes it. I mean, is St. John's really an upgrade over Loyola? Yes, you are essentially the go-to school for New York players that want to stay home, but that is kind of a trash market for basketball. We talk about the cupboard being bare, they really really are there now. He would have AT LEAST two years of sub .500 seasons before his players could get their legs. By then, people might already be calling for his head.

I can see him staying at Loyola until that icebox they have in the paint graduates, then taking off. I can honestly see Northwestern throwing a similar offer at him in the next two years.That way he triples his pay, moves to a major conference and never has to move his family.

Versus when when he took the ISU job and Creighton was in the MVC. I don't think Creighton being in the BIG East will factor much into his decision.

I think his comfort with Loyola and what they built coupled with being raised in the Chicago area versus coaching in a more prominent league will be what he weighs into his decision. I think the money will be second since he already has access to family funds.

The Big East is a YUGE upgrade from the valley. They are a power conference and the valley has been relegated to a one bid, 15th seed dumpster fire of a conference. I agree with you about his first two years being trying and that might lead to his departure after three years. Silly, who would fire an underachieving coach after just three years? They should get 9-10 years. Sarcasm.

Northwestern has their man and he will be there for a long time. Porter and Loyola had a historic run which might never be duplicated for a LONG time by a valley school. He has to look at the additional compensation along with all the additional heat he will be facing from day one. In Chicago, the media loves him. In New York, he will be slaughtered if they can't win. Does he want to put him and his family though that for a few more $$$$?

?? ? What question about the buyout? St. John’s has made an offer so the buyout must not be an obstacle.

This has to be a facetious post. I am not certain but so much is far from reality...esp NY being a trash market
