A few hundred on Bill Self would be good bet.
Alford didn't make Vegas' list and is part of "the field" at +150. For reference:
Richard Pitino (Minnesota) +250
Mark Turgeon (Maryland) +300
Dave Leitao (DePaul) +400
Pat Chambers (Penn State) +500
Danny Manning (Wake Forest) +750
Chris Mullin (St. John's) +750
Ernie Kent (Washington State) +750
Jim Christian (Boston College) +1000
Tim Miles (Nebraska) +1000
Sean Miller (Arizona) +1500
Bruce Pearl (Auburn) +1500
Dana Altman (Oregon) +2000
Bill Self (Kansas) +3000
Greg McDermott (Creighton) +3000
Field (Any other head coach) +150

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.
Any inside sources on whether doofus Manning is listening to Nestor. Based on Manning's stubbornness, I doubt it.
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.
It would be a real feather in his cap to make the first four!

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!
