Porter Moser Interested in DePaul Opening: Report
With the DePaul Blue Demons electing to move on from head coach Tony Stubblefield on January 22nd, the team was linked to one candidate from the Big 12 Conference as Stubblefield’s successor.
Oklahoma head coach Porter Moser was linked to the job in a recent list from ESPN’s Jeff Borzello, who shared that Moser has some interest in the job opening.
“The most intriguing speculation centers around Oklahoma’s Porter Moser, a native of the Chicago suburbs who spent a decade at Loyola Chicago,” Borzello said. “Talks aren’t as advanced as social media would lead you to believe, but there’s interest, and DePaul has expressed it would be willing to pay Moser’s buyout, around $6.5 million, sources told ESPN.”
Moser was asked to comment on the connection to DePaul on February 12th, where he shot down rumors, saying, “Absolutely not even engaging into anything like that. 100%. So excited about where we are at with the team. This is everything we’ve tried to build for is being in this position. All rumor mill fodder. Nothing, nothing true.”
With the Sooners soon to move to the SEC, Moser could find himself heading on a journey of his own. Despite the ongoing rumors, Moser and the Sooners will take the court next on Wednesday, March 13th, against the TCU Horned Frogs in the second round of the Big 12 men’s basketball tournament.
