I was thinking to myself about these two and Mizzou.  I wish that we could get one of these two as a head coach, preferably Brad Stevens.  He just has proven a lot more to me.. But I don't think he'll leave Butler to coach anywhere.  I'm not sure but I believe I heard him talking about how he's not going anywhere.  A lot of teams want him as a head coach, but I'm pretty sure Brad is not leaving Butler.  Now that he's taken Butler deep into the tournament shows me that he's pretty confident in staying at Butler.  But I believe tonight we'll find out a lot more about these two teams.  If Butler loses, I could see a possibility in him having any kind of thought about leaving if offered a job.  Shaka Smart is a possibility, but I've been reading on here about him being a coast guy.  So I believe if we were to get Shaka, he should be the temporary guy because of who we've recruited recently.  But I'd rather not get a guy who's just gonna use us for some cash and just add us as a team on his resume.  I'd rather have a coach who has a decent resume already and see if he'd fit right in.  So I hope we can get him, or hell I just wish we'd get a good coach.  I know everyone's so judgmental of Bruce Pearl, but I still think he'd be a good hire for recruiting regardless of if he cheated or not.  It's fine though, he knows as any leader knows, that if within your organization someone cheats, guess who gets the blame for it? The president, coaches, and leaders of any kind typically get the boot.  So I think he'd be fine if we picked him up.  But I personally think one of these three coaches would be good fits for Missouri.  This is my personal opinion.
