I think he needs a bit of a break first. He looked well and truly broken in recent games. He can afford to never work again, so take your time and find the job you want.

Sounds like it’s a done deal. The Demons were abysmal this year (3-29) so they may not have much financial leverage in the structuring.

Is that enough time for him to build the culture there. I mean not like he had 7 years to do it here….asking for a bunch of whiny coaches

DePaul has been a pretty dreadful program for awhile, their best Big East finish in the last 15 years was 7th back in 2014-2015

Agreed. It's a horrible job but he will get paid more than he would in a mid-major. He'll likely be fired in 3-4 years after he also goes 4-25.

If I were him, I would have sought a position that would allow me to take three or four days off a week and gain wide exposure to emerging trends in college basketball. Perhaps this means a media position? He could easily afford to work without a salary and would get exposure, while he heals from the stress and develops a plan for his next program.

This. I have no ill-will towards him. Gene Smith kept him on too long and he just want the fit for us.
He knows the Big East landscape well and should succeed there, especially with midwest recruiting connections now.

Agreed. I met Holtmann after a game in which one of my former AAU players played for the other team (High Point) and he couldn’t have been nicer or more gracious to the opposing team after the game. I wish him the best.

He’s easily the worst BB or football coach in the last 20 years.
Glad he’s gone and nobody will remember his forgettable tenure at tOSU. He made Buckeye basketball boring and irrelevant on national scene. So long

20 years is arbitrary. Since Thad was hired in 2004. And football had Tressel, Fickell, Meyer, and Day. So he was worse than Fickell's interim year as well?

Fickell was never a real hire. He was interim.
You could go back further. Did Randy Ayers get lucky with JJ? He stunk after that. But he still went to Elite 8 with JJ
There has been zero excitement over OSU post-Covid. Crappy recruiting, crappy results, non-existent tourney runs. Losing to Ned Flanders alma mater as a 2 seed? Pathetic. Won’t miss him at all. Fitting he is going to a dead-end job like DePaul
