I have heard from a very reliable source that should Bruce Pearl leave within the near future (Within 5 years) that Rick Majerus will be the new UWM coach. He has recently moved to Milwaukee and wants to coach in the area. This source is a good friend of Ricks and said Rick would love to take over the UWM job should it become available..
I am not one to start rumors flying, but I have all the confidence in the world in this guy and he has no reason to exaggerate about this...
This would be a good fit for several reasons. One....Rick has already been to big programs and accomplished A TON in his career. So you can take the BIGGER OFFER from a bigger program out of the way....He wont leave for htat bigger program and could stick around here for several years to come should his health hold up. He lives in the area and loves MIlwaukee. He is another awesome PR guy just like Bruce is. He obviously knows basketball and lets the players play their game. Since it is inevidable (sp?) that Bruce will go sometime soon, I would love nothing more to have a great coach with such tradition like Rick come in and take this program to the next level...Things are looking up for UWM thats for sure

That sounds great, but I'd still rather have Pearl.

Personally, I couldn't care less about this rumor. Pearl is our coach until he leaves. Until then, I'm not going to speculate when he's going and where ... and who's replacing him.

i agree with hack. that is looking way to far into our future. I am living in the BP era and i am loving every minute of it! I always think that Bruce really likes milwaukee, and may stay here a long time! im keepin my fingers crossed, I persona;;y dont want any other coach for our team. I like his style, he plays a very uptempo press game taht is very exciting to watch, and obviously effective! all im sayin is lets live in the now and enjoy what we have!
