With the recent resignation of Leitao, who is going to UVA, DePaul needs a quick hire given the late nature of the opening and their upcoming move to Big East. This should be great job and location for the right guy.

Names being mentioned include:

- Rick Majerus (ex-Utah)
- Steve Levin (ex-UCLA)
- Digger Phelps (ex-Notre Dame)
- Dan Dakich, (Bowling Green)
- Steve Hawkins (Western Michigan) MAC Tournament Winner & NCAA Bid
- Tim O'Shea (Ohio U.) - MAC Champs and NCAA Bid

Strong MAC candidates emerging.

Nominations :?:

I thought the SIU coach had been mentioned. DePaul is a strange program. Ray Meyer cast his shadow on that thing for a long time. I'm not sure how, but DePaul has always maintained nice support in Chicago despite being a little SMU-like in some ways. I think the City kids continue to identify with DePaul to some extent.
