I'll give CDC his props for getting this done without having us have to pay a buyout. I know he isn't perfect, but this is basically his year of hires that will determine his rep here and how long he's in Austin.

Genius move on Shaka's part.  Y'all want him gone, and he'll do fine at Marquette.

I kind of hate it for us, because our new coach is a Milwaukee guy and recruits there heavily.  Marquette sucking is good for us.

I'm sure Shaka will recruit well, but Marquette is going to be meh to mediocre for as long as he's there.

Wow, didn't realize Kruger had been there 10 years already.  68 years old.  Always thought he looked like an older Will Forte and because Will makes me laugh so damn much, I felt Kruger was the least shitty person at Oklahoma.  But still shitty.  

Kruger is class guy.   I recall his days as the Coach down at Pan American (aka UTRGV).  He made them winners and he even took his teams  he later coached  down there to play his former employer when he didn't have too.    I wouldn't mind see him in Austin, even for a five or so year gig just to get this program on solid footing and he can mentor someone to take over.

Usually coaches don't announce their retirement and then take a 5 year gig somewhere else.  He could have stayed at OU as long as he wanted.

Lon just built a house in Vegas and that’s where he and his wife are going to retire so they can be with their grandkids.  If anything, he’ll “consult” UNLV.  He’s done.

Unless you're this guy:

Sorry, had to throw that in.

Yea...  But there is always that chance they change their mind.   Seen it before, but usually after a year or two away from the game.

Perfect situation - gets to be around the grandkids and can just pop into his son's new program at UNLV anytime he wants. 

Good for him!
