The Story is Going National
The Williams v. AD case is getting some major national press, and it's starting to scare me.
The issue was discussed on Around the Horn (for the record, three of the four said Gary was still the right guy). It's on the ESPN ticker. There's an article on YahooSports. There's two ESPN articles on it!
Look, I'm a blogger. Of course, part of me loves this. It's interesting, my topics are already done for me, and people will read about it. The other part of me, the Maryland fan, hates it. If the rumors of an impending buyout (hopefully at the end of the year) are true, I'm not sure if the department truly believes they'll get a top-flight candidate with the way things are right now.
I'm not going to say Gary even deserves to be the coach right now, because he doesn't. But the opportunities to get someone else of even the same caliber are dwindling quickly. No coach will look at this lightly, and they shouldn't. One can only hope the two sides come to their senses and settle this privately.

Bail him out and get him a clipboard! But seriously though, let’s assume that a buyout were to happen. Who are candidates to take over for Gary?
If you believe the innanets
Anthony Grant. Jay Wright or Rick Barnes are popular candidates, but there’s no way in hell they come here now. Mike Brey is a name that comes up a lot, but he’s a terrible coach. Jeff Capel’s name comes up a lot. Scott Drew would be an incredible get – he’s dominating at Baylor, which isn’t exactly a situation coaches dominate in. Sean Miller is another popular guy – he’s doing very, very well at Xavier.
Unfortunately, I can’t actually see any of these. More than likely, we’ll end up with Sid Lowe, Maryland version.
