Craig Robinson wants out of OSU

[SlyPokerDog]

The First Brother-in-Law has raised his hand for the DePaul University basketball coaching job.

A representative of Craig Robinson, above, head basketball coach at Oregon State University and Michelle Obama’s brother, has approached DePaul about the opening created by the firing of Jerry Wainright last month, according to a high-level person in DePaul’s athletic department not authorized to talk on the record.

Robinson, 47, who starred at Mount Carmel High School in Chicago and spent six years on Bill Carmody’s staff at Northwestern, has the local ties that Jean Lenti Ponsetto, the DePaul athletic director, has said she favors.

After leading Brown University to a school-record 19-victory season, he moved in 2008 to Oregon State, which was 10-12 going into Thursday’s game. DePaul is 8-15 and has lost 29 of its last 30 Big East games.

misleading threat title. It doesn't say he wants out of OSU.

More importantly, how can we pin this on KP?

Contacting other schools about their vacate coaching positions sure doesn't sound like he wants to stay to me.

Kind of a dumb move on his part, IMO. DePaul is a top tier job. You don't go to them, they come to you. His resume is not worthy of DePaul.

The guy's from the South Side. DePaul under Ray Meyer was a nationally recognized program. I imagine it would be the dream of a guy from Chicago to bring the program back to promenence.

DePaul hasn't been a top tier job since the 80's.

I bet Bob De Carolis will have a big impact on making sure Craig Robinson stays with Oregon State. I bet CR will be resigned. This program has made good strides and I bet Carolis will make sure CR won't leave because of all the alumni giving input.

I give Robinson one more year tops at OS.
