I've personally heard that Maryland's AD isn't phased by prior scandals if it means winning.
But I'm also hearing that Louisville might want him back too. What a mess.
@brfrad not your question, but this is interesting too. Obviously winning your conference tournament matters in these cases:

They still finished 17 - 16
13-16 (4-12) going into the tournament.
Nonconference wins were Jacksonville State, Grambling State, Elon, Delaware State, Augusta State, Wake Forest, Hawaii, Presbyterian, and Georgia Tech.
Completely agree the effort is there. I guess what I'm getting at is how is the announcement of this coach leading to winning games that the team couldn't win for 2.5 years? Why wasn't that around during any of that time? But now we're led to believe that this single action just flipped a switch?
Not arguing, just trying to understand your perspective here and it's just not clicking for me at this moment.
