Re: Looks Like Keno Is Gone From Drake

After failing to win big at a mediocre program in a power conference you can always take your millions and go lay on the beach I guess.

Or you can go back right back to an MVC-type school.

"Keno's deal is 7 years, 1 million per. "


Something is really wrong with college hoops when keno davis gets one million a year.

I don't blame him for taking it. I blame the university (all of them) for offering this kind of money. It is totally out of whack.

There's a market for this sort of thing. I think it takes care of it pretty well.

I'm not shocked at all.

i think keno would have stayed if the money wasnt so ridiculous. providence has been spurned by other coaches and they were feeling the heat.

Plenty of Rich Italians in Providence who are able to fork over the dough

Re: Looks Like Keno Is Gone From Drake

Yes, but in both cases they stepped into bad programs which pay a lot more money, but likely will keep them from ever getting to a big time program or achieving success on a national level.

Funny that you like to argue about coaches moving up saying that it shouldn't be about the money, but question why guys will play the game for so little.

Providence is not a bad program.

There is one former MVC coach that got mentioned that I can't believe no one has brought up yet.

In any career, if the right opportunity knocks, one has to take it. Good for Keno. It will be interesting to see how Drake's program is impacted with the change.

Re: Looks Like Keno Is Gone From Drake

Interesting to witness the reaction from Drake fans on their messageboard and on the radio. Yes, people are angry and questioning Keno's loyalty, but a lot of the die hards are laying into school President Maxwell and Drake's lack of effort to keep Keno around.

Re: Looks Like Keno Is Gone From Drake

To be fair, Keno had 1 great season and jumped right away. Mac stuck around for 3 good seasons and probably had many other offers during that time. Mac was able to stay in a familiar place while Keno is stepping into a different world and getting a lot more money.

Didn't Dr. Tom coach at BC for quite awhile? I'll bet that the Davis family considers themselves as much New Englanders as Iowans. Keno probably spent a good portion of his upbringing in the Boston area, might have gone to high school there, etc.

If you combine that with family recruiting connections which I'll bet are still there, plus the fact that Providence has tradition, and that they only lose one senior...it seems like a pretty good decision to me.

My fear in all this is that Drake will revert to their normal ways and not hire the best coach they can find. Here's hoping for Drake's sake, and the sake of the MVC, that they don't go cheap.

To roughly quote Colin Cowherd, "Fans shouldn't be upset when a coach leaves you when he leaves you in better shape than he found you."
