Something I've been thinking about for a couple of weeks. Know it's going to happen but really hoping he stays put.
ADDVANTAGE: He is from this area and is close to family. Have heard that his wife
said that they love it here. Also he is very well liked and respected by everyone in the community. Can become a WKU icon if he stays and be a bb legend here. Has a chance to possibly rebuild our legacy of years past.
DISADDVANTAGES: Smaller market than he may be used to. Ncaa making it harder and harder to be invited to the dance. Finally, MONEY. We obviously can't compete here (wish Bill Gates was WKU alum). Even though he not a "poor" man financially does he feel like he needs more.
Hopefully he is not one of those that feels that money is the be all end all. I really hope that at his age that he is content here enough to want to settle down here and build his own legacy that will be remembered the way Ed Diddle's name has become synonymous with WKU. I personally feel that he could do it if he were to stay and keep coaching here. WKU has been looking for decades to find a good coach who will stay and carry us to the next level for years to come.
GO TOPPERS!!!!
