I guess give LaSalle credit for trying someone who ISN'T 70+ years old??

And before anyone bangs on me, I have nothing but respect for the amazing career of Fran Dunphy AND I'm glad a guy his age is motivated to "stay in the game". Philly Legend for sure....but his hire was a "safe" hire and, in almost no way, helped propel the LaSalle program forward.

I listened to an interview with Fran a couple weeks back and his hire was always intended to be 2 or 3 years max while Lasalle did a couple of other things. They didn’t hire him to move the needle but to keep the ship afloat. Also found it cool that not only is he the coach but he is also a professor there with a real class he teaches

That's a fair point....Didn't know about the teacher thing. Did they say what class it was? that's cool...thanks for that

Yeah, Fran was always intended to be a stopgap hire to provide a bit of stability while La Salle looked for a longer term solution. They might not have had a great record this season but they were more competitive than they've been in a while, so I'd say they succeeded.

He didn’t. Here is the transcript of a little excerpt

“So does this mean you're also retiring from teaching? Or are you going to continue?

I hope not. I want to, I love getting in the classroom. And I will tell you that I do it with a woman by the name of Angelis Stuhl.

She does absolutely all the work. And I pontificate a couple of times a class, act like I know what I'm talking about. But it's just fun being in the classroom.

We had a class at the presser the other day. Somebody asked me about it. Actually, our president, Dan Allen, had gotten a call from one of the deans.

And I guess I had reached out to one of the deans to say, I have this young man in my class. And I haven't seen him for two classes now, and I'm worried about him. And I was, and I don't like to see kids miss class.”
