If he's not interested in the OSU job he'll use it to extract a larger contract out of KU, which is fine with me. There may be a dozen coaches out there that can do just as good a job and they may come to Stillwater at a much lower cost. Self will be sky high. I doubt Holder will spend a lot of time with Self if he really isn't interested. Our speculation on the subject is fun but ultimately not very important. The decisions will be made regardless of where we went to school or what we think.

Not in miles, but in Bill Self's mind. I think maybe Lawrence is closer. Anyway, I hope the Aggies spend a lot of time on trying to get Bill Self. Thst way, some of the coaches that will actually be interested will already have new jobs, and they will be getting down their list. Thinking that Bill Self is coming to Stillwater is like OU fans thinking Darrill Royal is going to leave Texas and come to OU when Gary Gibbs was fired.

Maybe money really isn't a concern for Holder and then again maybe it is, you know better than me. If it is he will quickly get down to the section of his list with affordable coaches and then he can choose based on coaching skills and recruiting. I am one of those thinking Self may be more interested in returning than your typical KU or OU fan would believe. He has always jumped to the better job, whether it was from ORU and Tulsa to Illinois or from there to Kansas. The better job is based on Self's view not ours and it could be that being close to his families trumps "tradition" or "prestige" or "money" or even "working conditions."
