That's really interesting.... Googled college basketball coaches hot seat and they had him at the top. I trust Vegas more though.... Thanks for info!

Vegas has given Danny the fifth-best odds to be the first coach fires this year. Odds of being first fired are at +750.

“Ahead” of Danny are: Richard Pitino (+250), Mark Turgeon (+300), Dave Leitao (+400), and Pat Chambers (+500). Manning is tied with Chris Mullin and Ernie Kent.

It took a while but he is finally raked.
 
Not sure I put Turgeon that high. Not because he is a good coach, but because of the mess in football at MD and the athletic department. They need to hire a football coach.

The AD is also on somewhat shaky ground. Does Loh fire him in the spring as a parting shot? I think he could.
 
Any inside sources on whether doofus Manning is listening to Nestor. Based on Manning's stubbornness, I doubt it.

Based on Manning being extremely vocal on the sidelines, albeit small sample size, I'd say Nestor has already had an impact. I saw him coaching our guys up on the bench multiple times as well. Time will tell.

They probably don't have the money to fire Turgeon.

I see an opportunity here. Let’s put $10 million on Manning and then give Wellman $8 million for the immediate firing. Or Wellman could place the bet to fund the buyout and the new coach. Let’s see if Stevens turns down $100 million!
 
Seems like this would be an easy way for a big donor with influence to make some cash.
