Holy Cow, people!!!! Where are we getting all of this from? The question was raised if Anne Kordes might go home to Louisville to be the coach in waiting. When asked where Yelin was going someone mentioned Miami, and then we started attaching him to every job in south florida, and the assistant position at UF. Now bkedane has Yelin not getting his contract renewed. In 4 pages there is almost nothing of substance reported and we are all in a tizzy. CHILL. Breath. Enjoy grandma's fruitcake. What do we actually know? Louisville is one of the leading programs in the Big East and made it to the second round of the tournament this year. Their head coach, Leonid Yelin is an Uzbekistani native who worked in Miami for 5 seasons, and he's spent the last 15 seasons at the U of L. He is now 61 years old, with two former players as a assistants who graduated in 2005 and 2006. People assume Yelin is going somewhere. If he stays 1 more year, as suggested, Yelin will be going on 62 when he leaves. He's closer to the end of his career than the beginning. If the Miami suggestion was true, can't the man just retire to the beach? 15 years into a public pension program could be pretty good. Now, if he wants to coach again, fine, I'm sure a national title and 4 sweet 16's would help him get a job somewhere, but we are just throwing darts at this point. As for U of L. Neither assistant has been a head coach, and aside from Hoffman's 1 month at Fordham, neither has coached anywhere but U of L, so they don't have an obvious successor to Yelin. At the same time, most of the talent on this Cardinals team is freshman (S, L, OH) and sophomores (OH), so the team will be pretty good if they can find a qualified coach to lead them, whoever that might be. Thats about all we can know here, unless somebody has spoken to someone. The speculation and rumor mongering here is going far beyond even our usual level. This is what we do on this board. Where have you been?

Is Steinbeck at Villanova leaving or in conversations elsewhere? Or is that another 'Nova we are talking about losing a head coach?

You are correct, he is still under contract, but never hide his desire to move back to Florida. He is not moving until some really GOOD job will be open. Well there's no way that Kordes took the AHC position with an open-ended stay for Yelin. There had to have been some kind of definite timeline. BINGO

Villanova ins't "where it's warm". That would be Nova Southeastern This is an example of what I'm talking about. The possibility of Kordes leaving SLU had us not renewing Yelin's contract, and now its got Steinbach leaving for another great job that I'm sure someone will put a name to if we wait a day. I get that this thread trades in rumor and inuendo, but the Kordes discussion has jumped the tracks entirely.

And I don't think anyone said that the contract issue was because of Kordes. The predictions about Yelin not outlasting his current contract have been around for a long time.

I get that this thread trades in rumor and inuendo, but the Kordes discussion has jumped the tracks entirely. Why would Louisville let Yelin go? Yelin will leave when Yelin wants to. He has more than proven successful at Louisville... Why are you so sure that the rumors that many heard at the convention are incorrect?

I wonder if Deja McClendon ever seriously considered staying at home and playing for Yelin.
