Someone asked why Ben Howland wasn't coaching, and where he might go. A poster mentioned Duquesne (obviously tongue in cheek). The responses were spot on.

LOL!!! I needed a good morning laugh. I couldn't imagine them coming up with the bucks they would need to land a coach like that (2 million a year). Would likely end their four decades of futility though. As they sometimes say, you have to spend money to make money. They'd have to eat about 2 million that they're wasting on Jim Ferry though. What a disaster! They pulled a Pitt/Wanny by firing Everhart, but it's blown up in their face way worse than firing Wanny did for Pitt. I was reading their board, and they hate their AD at about the same level as folks here hated Pedey. I hope the folks who are always crying about Jamie are paying attention. Yeah, Pitt's not Duquesne, but don't think that firing Jamie couldn't blow up in Pitt's face almost as badly.[/quote888]
They have been fooling their fans the same way Pitt fball has been fooling us over the years by bringing in a charade of coaches and firing them after a couple years. They're no more committed to basketball then we were to football. (Thank God for Chancellor Galagher and PN, that is now in the past). Duquesne gets all excited when they get to host the NCAA tourney. They haven't learned that you are supposed to take your team to the tourney, not bring the tourney to you.
