A formal offer of employment.
Maybe U of L's lawyers needed time to draw up the paperwork based upon the discussions with the agent.But why wait 3 days for it?
I don't think this is it. I think if things get to the point of a formal meeting confirmed by both sides, it's fait accompli.I think he’s just giving X time to get an offer or chase a replacement while enjoying being pursued a bit.

Very difficult to get a true number on some of these salaries, because it requires costing out of cars, club memberships, and all sorts of perks.
And may/may not include monies from shoe companies, etc.
So, OSU's contract looks like $3 million for Holtmann, but Sports Illustrated puts it at $7 million.

If Holtmann is worth $7 million, I could easily see the people at basketball crazy Louisville coming up with $6 million....he went up late, and I was already up there.

I'd feel a lot better about him leaving if he was leaving after our second straight e8 (or first FF). The bracket sure broke our way too. Ugh.
Truly an end of an era, but I'll always be a fan and if he does leave, I'll root for him to succeed down there too. Who knows, maybe down the road he comes back to finish out his career. If we can't keep an alum who grew up in town, then we're gonna keep going through this every 6-7 years probably.
The big advantage we have now, I guess, is there are a lot fewer jobs that are better than Big East Xavier, so it won't be like it was in the A-10, but it's still gonna happen. And let's hope it does, because that means the coach has been killing it. We've been pretty lucky in our last three hires, so let's hope that trend continues and the next guy also leaves for greener pastures.Last edited by markchal; 03-23-2018 at 11:02 AM.

If he leaves, which I hope he does not, I suggest we go balls out for Brad Stevens.

I'd be shocked if Xavier hasn't already told Mack what they're willing to do -- but it doesn't matter.
If Xavier offers $3M per year, Louisville will offer $4M. If Xavier offers $4M per year, Louisville can offer $5M. Given the gross disparity in revenue between the two programs, there's nothing Xavier can do to beat Louisville in terms of financial compensation.
There's no need to "meet" to learn that.
