Amari Davis is returning
And damn, I didn't realize Soderberg was making that much. Think he's decidedly outta the question after being linked to the job a lot...for some reason? lol

My buddy, a long-ago Green Bay fan, said that he'll come back if they hire Grzesk. Their attendance last year was its lowest since the mid-80s. He said that he and many others will follow the Phoenix if they get this hire right and for as long as they remain D-1. Let's see what happens.

How is Gary Grzesk not the obvious choice?

How is Gary Grzesk not the obvious choice? Fair or not, because he's a D3 Coach. He's been out of the D1 game for what 15 years? Division 1 and Division 3 basketball are practically different sports. So personally I can understand people having reservations about hiring him.

I think it's safe to assume that Soderberg can be dropped from consideration.

Per Scott Venci’s Twitter:
Former UWGB men's coach Linc Darner will be paid by the school at least $720,000 until April 2023 under the agreement signed by Darner and GB. He received $120,000 on May 21, will receive $120,000 on Jan. 1, monthly payments of $20,000 per month from May 1, 2021-April 1, 2022 and monthly payments of $20,000 from May 1, 2022 to April 1, 2023. If Darner does not get a head coaching or assistant job before then, he gets another one year of payments that equals $240,000.
Darner also will receive health insurance through December 31, 2021, unless he lands a job that offers insurance.
Quick take: Congratulation to Linc Darner.
UWGB, which is currently furloughing employees, has figured out a way to pay two head men's basketball coaches over the next three years with a likely combined salary of at least $440,000.

Jessica Kress and Mike McCarthy must have written a BIG check. Otherwise, this doesn't make one whit of sense.
