Rick Majerus Has Not Quit... Yet

If Rick Majerus can last until his press conference announcing him as the new basketball coach at St. Louis on Monday, then his tenure will be more successful than his stint at USC. So congratulations on that St. Louis, I guess.

So St. Louis, huh? Let's get this straight, Majerus had a chance to coach at either Long Beach State or Iowa and he instead chose St. Louis? Wow, he must have never been to St. Louis before. Because it is hard to imagine anybody in their right mind actually choosing to live there. (Unless, you are an allegedly murdering showgirl looking to move a football team.)

Majerus lives in Milwaukee to be closer to his mother, and that probably ended his dealing with Long Beach State, but why would he chose St. Louis over Iowa? That makes little sense. Not that it matters. Odds are that this marriage won't last. Having Majerus for two seasons would be quite an accomplishment. Hell, it wouldn't be a surprise if Majerus gets cold feet before Midnight Madness. This guy has flirted with many, many schools in the past and the comfy television gig (and free buffets) seem to be more to his liking anyway. This just can't end well, and St. Louis will likely fall way short of its goal of being a Top 50 program. At least proprietors of the city's BBQ segment should get a big boost. (Yeah, cheap joke, but had to be done.)
