It will be interesting to see how the search turns out this time. Last time, they couldn't find anybody interested in the job after they fired Perry, so they wind up promoting his assistant. I would assume Spears knows of at least one outside candidate who'd actually take the job this time.
The Idaho women's coach will be the next one to get it -- he won 4 games this year, and their leading scorer is leaving the team. They lost their outstanding PG Mitchell, the MWAC player of the year, to Utah a couple of years ago.
