McDade, Jimmy etal...have to weigh in here.
Know this may be counter-intuitive and may run danger of a Rollie Masimino scenario but hear met out. As long as Bruce is not "tired" at this point, I can relate as I am of similar age and haircut ha ha....here are some positive thoughts followed at the end with my concerns:
*He would bring instant credibility and respect to our program, *Although is is sort of Dick Bennet like in flashiness and charisma he has great proven success at D 1 highest levels and you can play that by recognizing and having some fun with it. *Milwaukee connection obviously *Would buy us some time with local media and alumni. A lot of warmth and affection which would last a few years. Nothing is guaranteed with hiring any coach so would not worry about if he decides then hang it up in a few years * It would be a way of finally establishing some real connection with state High School coaches here. What coach would not respect and be open to advising his players to consider and trust Bruce Weber. We could get a solid baseline here which hopefully would then extend past his tenure
Now the concerns: *AB *Salary *ageism- push back from those that would have a knee jerk reaction and say he is too old, need a young dynamic coach etc *How much would he want to return here from a quality of life perspective. He would not recognize where he came from and went to school. Lets just say John Marshall H S was one of the best public schools anywhere. Now it is an armed camp. A metaphor unfortunatelyfor our city right now...

Hate to burst bubbles, but it would take a heluva lot more than a 6 minute Youtube clip to convince me that would be the way to go. I'm not that easily swayed by misty eyes.
