"Not shocking. Here it comes, and he should interview.
I think GMU is the only school I'd worry about..."

"So if either of those teams offer him 500k UA is screwed"

We have hope!

From my sources:

"@AdamZagoria: Albany coach Will Brown is a candidate at George Mason & Fordham, per sources. Expected to interview at both. Has been to 5 NCAAs."

He has an interesting record --no better than .500 for his career, finished first in the regular season only twice, yet all of his 5 NCAA trips have been since 2005-6.

Murray State AD Allen Ward says no one from Alabama or George Mason have asked permission to talk with Steve Prohm.

Sorry if someone posted something similar to this already.

 

[p8triotfan4liferightnow]

So Prohm interviewed but hasn't been contacted yet?

 

[A.-Siegfried]

In fairness...it IS possible no one from Mason contacted him. But perhaps someone from Parker Executive Search did.....

 

[gmutom]

I think Lamar Butler reached out to Prohm.

Is that a joke?

You don't contact the other school for permission unless you're really far down the road....You can have extensive contact with the agent without actually talking directly to the coach....A ton can get done without actually talking to the coach directly. This happens at the BCS schools ALL of the time.

Permission from the school is almost always the final step before a contract is signed.

Basically a legal technicality.

 

[GSII]

Yes.

Haaa. Ok bc I started to think he should be admitted.

 

[Walter]

I disagree with some of what is being said. Unless a coach is familiar with a school and he already knows he would accept the job for the right price, a coach is going to have to tour the facilities and meet with the AD and president. It is part of the decision process. Mason is not anyone's dream job. Sometimes it just comes down to does it feel right. Plenty of coaches have turned down jobs because once they made it to campus they didn't get the right vibe from the AD, the president, the students, or the community. At this stage, BBB is trying to convince Prohm or similar coach to give us a test drive. Then he will say, "what do I have to do to put you in that car today." We are not even close to that. None of the current coaches would accept the Mason job sight unseen and without allowing their current school the opportunity to counter. Now an assistant coach would likely take the job quickly after being offered.

http://www.al.com/sports/index.ssf/2015/03/gregg_marshalls_agent_to_begin.html:

"Gregg Marshall is busy preparing Wichita State for the Sweet 16 and a matchup with No. 3 Notre Dame.

Behind the scenes, Marshall's agent, Myles Solomon, will begin researching Alabama, which CBS Sports reported Monday is planning to make a "big run" at Marshall once Wichita State's season is over.

The Tide fired coach Anthony Grant March 15.

'Now that I've read those reports, I'll certainly just kind of look into the situation,' Solomon told AL.com. 'Then we'll see. A lot of times reports come out and they have no [accuracy] behind them whatsoever. So we'll what happens.'

Solomon declined to say whether Alabama has already made contact to express interest in the 52-year old Marshall, whose teams at Wichita State are a combined 122-20 during the last four seasons and have made four straight NCAA tournament appearances."

 

[gmutom]

That would be great if Alabama went after Marshall, because then it would greaten our chances of getting Prohm.

Wouldnt Prohm be target 1 for WSU? Or should I say WSU would be everyones target based on pay offered. > Mason

Good question. I wasn't even thinking about Marshall's job becoming available if he bolts for Alabama. The only thing in our favor is that Prohm is an East Coast guy.

 

[dr. gunnie]

Obviously Prohm is the target and would be a great hire if we could grab him, but after watching way too many videos of Levelle Moton and reading all the articles I could find last night, I love this guy... like man crush love that is normally reserved for the likes of Jollay.

All of this flirting with Prohm is fine, but I hope we don't miss out of Moton if Prohm goes somewhere else.

The Albany coach doesn't give me the same warm and fuzzy feeling. Toole might.

 

[GSII]

Moton with only 8 MEAC conf losses in 4 season. Thats impressive. But it is the MEAC. But I love his personality.

WSU might hire his lead assistant to take over for him and maintain continuity.
