It's Official at least by ESPN

He has been talking to Louisville for a while and the players knew it which is not cool. This I’m sure had a lot to do with complete meltdowns at Pu and FL State. His true colors came out on this deal. My condolences to MM I know this is tough.

One thing I do NOT want to hear is a departing X coach talk about how X is such a special place. Apparently not special enough. Only thing worse than that is hearing what a special place the school is going to is. I wonder what that might be for UL?

or how "this was the hardest decision I ever had to make ... blah, blah, blah."

then don't read his twitter goodbye.

Well he had a good record against UC, but I'm going to focus on his record against Nova and poor performance in the tournament this year and 2 years ago to help me through this difficult time and keep an open mind for our next coach.

Thanks for the warning! Next man up!

What evidence do you have for the above comment please....

I appreciate what chris Mack did for Xavier helping guide them through the big east transition and push recruiting to new heights. He also got us another elite 8 and our first big east regular season title.

At the same time good riddance, you're the enemy now. Would love to do a home and home vs Louisville in a couple years. Good luck showing your face in your home town again.

Good lord... "Good luck showing your face in your home town again'.... really...????

What was Xavier's counteroffer? If he took the job at UL for 4 million a year and all the illegal violations they were accused of. That seems a shot at Xavier's program as a whole.

Coaches come and go more often than not at Xavier, but the one constant through all the basketball success is we the fans and season ticket holders! We are what makes Xavier great and what makes the Cintas such a tremendous home court advantage.

I wish nothing but the best for Mack, but from the ashes we will build another day!

All for One!

I have plenty of sources and I many others reported this a month ago.

[X-lucidity]

Hops, your 'sources' have always seemed fairly tried & true. Is it too early or any word on status of assistants? I read ESPN article and no mention. Very possible that these details are indeed still not officially released...
