On Sunday afternoon, the Ohio State men’s basketball team pulled off a big-time upset of Purdue, the first game since the dismissal of head coach [autotag]Chris Holtmann[/autotag].
Although he was held in high regard by his coaching peers, it was evident that his tenure in Columbus had to come to an end. Less than a week later, rumors have begun about where Holtmann would land.
In a report by The Silver Bulletin, it looks like he may stay in the Midwest, as Holtmann and DePaul have had preliminary conversations about their open head coaching vacancy. He is familiar with the Big East, as he previously coached at Butler before taking the Ohio State job.

It should come as no surprise that Holtmann would land back on his feet at another school as its head coach. He does have a solid resume as his career record of 251-170 shows that he’s a solid coach.
