Scuds,

Majerus is a man of some interest in the Minneapolis area. With the University of Minnesota firing Dan Monson, he's been one of the rumored names to replace him. It's highly unlikely for a few reasons-
1) The health concerns of Majerus
2) The U. of MN athletic Dept. is $$$ strapped, and it would cost some big $$$ (and a big tenured hotel bill...room service included) to pay him.
3) Since he's not currently coaching, the U. could've and maybe should've already gone after him if they had any interest.
4) If they're gonna spend $$$ to get a big name, they're gonna hope that Flip Saunders chokes in the NBA playoffs, so they can go after him (a U. alum, former T-Wolves coach, local ties).
5) Can Majerus repeat what he did in Utah? Big Ten is more tough than the Mountain West, he's been out of coaching for about 5 years now... I dunno...
