I don’t see that happening. Had we made the tournament this year AND next and made some noise, maybe. But at 60 I think he is too far along in his career to get such a Power 5 job.

Sounds like Paul is just speculating. "Could be" doesn't sound like it is based on anything.

FWIW, a paragraph from Tony Paul in today’s Detroit News: “Detroit Mercy's Mike Davis, who just wrapped a third season on the job and could be seen as a hot commodity for some of the current and upcoming openings. It's unclear if Davis wants out just yet; his team was among the hottest in the Horizon League before falling at the buzzer in the quarterfinals, and everybody is expected back, including son and star point guard Antoine Davis. This is a team on the rise; an NCAA Tournament bid next season could land Davis another Power Five opportunity, his first since Indiana.” For me this is the most annoying time of the year. It is when all the idiots and s---stirers start to come out of the woodwork. It seems like this program is destined to not have prosperity. Did anyone pause to think maybe Davis likes it here in Detroit or is this an attempt to stymie his recruiting chances? He did pretty well this last off season and could do even better this time around.

Davis is to busy dismissing players from the team to think about taking another job! Just a SAD situation here at Detroit. A new roster is on the way is what I’m being told. Anyone who hires this guy after his departure from Detroit is either blind or senile!

If they can not put a negative spin on the U they disappear until they can.

I’m told coach has told Kuol, Waterman, Brandon, and point guard—what’s his name, Anthony Davies or whatever his name is—that they’ve no future and ought to look elsewhere.

What’s negative about the truth? Davis has dismissed productive players, and the program is supposed to not not mis a beat. He didn’t develop the bench, so now what. Oh I know, 5 more grad transfers to the rescue! This is not the recipe to success. This guy is past his prime! We didn’t turn things around until Montgomery joined the staff! Like mentioned in my earlier post, just a sad Situation here at Detroit. FYI, I here it’s Rose, and Frazier as well.
We deserve better!

When I head everyone was coming back next year I was surprised to hear Faser was. I really like him as a player and I think he is underrated but he has already played 5 years and has dealt with quite a few injuries and it is impossible for him to avoid the injuries with the way he plays downhill. Doesn't it seem reasonable that some of these guys will want to get on with their lives? What makes you think you deserve better?

It’s one thing for the player to not return on his own, it’s another for the coach to send them packing. We were starting to turn the corner, but to now have to reload. I totally understand if the graduate players decide to hang up the shoes, but waterman, rose and Brandon. This doesn’t make much sense! Unless they were stellar students, they won’t be any close to graduation wherever they land, and isn’t that the goal of attending college. Student athletes. That’s the other part of this that Davis doesn’t understand. Other than AD and maybe Willy if he returns. Will anyone he has brought in graduate with a UD degree? Yes, we deserve better. The UD fans!

I figured I'd continue any further Mike Davis talk in the proper thread. Again, connecting all the dots, I feel fairly sure he is leaving/wants to leave - IF he can only find another job...
From today:

I think UP may be on to something with the contract extension. MD is not going anywhere.

This is the same "Major Madness" that has Oakland moving to the MVC and building a new field house. When he or she says "LOTS of chatter out there" he or she never says where......
