I saw this the other day when looking for jobs. That is one of the sites I visit frequently to check. The question is why were you?

Cubsfan, you know basketball, you're a DePaul alum- you should apply!

LOL! It used to be easy to get that job so I might have had a chance. Now they seem to be actually going after big names and people with experience who may be good for the program! So I don't think now I would have a chance.

Plus, I am a basketball fan, but I don't know enough of coaching basketball with schemes and stuff. I could be a baseball manager, but not basketball coach!

You guys understand just how sad this is? This is a D1 program that has produced numerous NBA players. They should have coaching candidates begging them for the job, not posting a help wanted ad on their school website. It's like the Illini posting an ad on uiuc begging for a coach once Zook gets canned

It's kind of weird but I dont think it's as bad as I think you think it is

I defiantly understand how bad this is. Being a basketball fan and going to DePaul I obviously follow the Blue Demons closely. I went to two blowout games last year and got sick of it and then stopped going! In the past they have begged coaches to come to them. This year I have heard some good coaches being rumored for the job. It is weird that they advertise this type of thing online. I have never heard of that.

I was talking to a friend and I think DePaul does this for every position as a formality. That even the coaches they target will have to apply at that positing with the proper information, but they obviously won't look at anyone they don't ask to apply.
