The Chicago Tribune has an article stating that Steve Lavin and Rick Majerus are showing interest in the DePaul job. A quote from Lavin (a perfect example of Lavin-speak):

My focus for the past two years has been to improve as a broadcaster because I owe my best effort to the people who employ me. But anyone who's been involved with basketball has to appreciate the tradition and history of a school like DePaul. It's a great school in a great city with a great recruiting base, and going to the Big East will enhance the program.

A lot of words to say that he has a job but DePaul is a good, er, "great" school. Also check out this line from the article:

Former Notre Dame coach and ESPN analyst Digger Phelps, 63, wants to be considered for the job [at DePaul] but is unlikely to be a serious candidate.

Unlikely to be a serious candidate? Ya think? A major program won't consider a guy who's been spending how many years sitting in the studio wearing green ties and spitting out "analysis" with Dick Vitale? i'm not sure even Digger believes he could go back and successfully run a major basketball operation at this point - I'm guessing he just wants his name out there to increase his profile (probably the same strategy that Lavin is using), just angling to get a raise from the folks in Bristol.
