Will He Stay or Will He Go? If so then Who will Come?

Memphis fans,we could be coming to the end of the Calipari era. If rumors are "serious" then he could be the next coach at Indiana and where there is smoke there usually is fire, when it comes to coaches. Remeber when he was named the coach here? It was the same type of situation. I really like Calipari and think that he is a real asset to the program, in terms of national exposure, but if he does leave then we still have to get out of bed the next morning. The program will go on because it will have to considering that we want to have some hefty leverage for the next round of conference realignments. We can't afford to hire another up and coming coach and go through the disaster that we did with Tic Price. So who is out there that can come in and win with the players that we currently have? Well we will need a guy that will convince DWash and Shawne Williams in to staying one more year? Who is out there who believes in playing shut down defense and a up tempo offense? What coach is out there with a reputation of puting guys into the NBA? What coach has a history of winning? What coach has a reputation with the high school coaches in Memphis? What coach was once considered for the head coach job here? Well I am going to throw out an old name that some might scoff at but I say why not? How about Nolan Richardson? He is a better option than many of the coaches that would be mentioned for the job. We know what he once did and I wouldn't be concerned about his time off it certainly didn't hurt Dick Vermeal. While I am sure that many people will disagree but at least I am looking forward. So if you have a better idea then leave it in the comments section.
