Was Wardle a serious candidate for the Marquette job? I thought he was given pretty much a courtesy interview. I think he is a fine young coach and he is on his way up, but I do not see him as being ready to take on a program at this level this early in his career. As for DePaul, I think it depends. Brian has a pretty nice situation at GB. He has what he needs to compete in the league, and last year he had the best team. He might have a shot at bigger jobs in the near future, especially if he can get his team into the tournament and win a game or two. DePaul has been the graveyard of coaches for a long time. I can see the appeal of returning to Chicago and stepping up, but I am not sure it is a good position.
