Porter Moser is expected to be a candidate for coaching positions at multiple schools this offseason. While there are already rumors linking him to one specific opportunity (DePaul), potential contract complications might arise in that scenario. The speculation surrounding Moser and DePaul suggests he might be serious about leaving this time around, although it remains uncertain if he's the right fit for the DePaul coaching position. Many of you are likely thinking, “Would Moser really leave Oklahoma for DePaul?” Well, Moser loves the city of Chicago and adheres to a Catholic faith. DePaul is the nation’s largest Catholic school, and of course, it’s located in Chicago. The Blue Demons have also increased their financial commitment recently.
The coaching carousel is anticipated to create numerous openings, and Moser will be an attractive candidate for a number of programs. Ohio State and Saint Louis are two schools located closer to the area in which Moser and his family enjoy, and those two programs could very well have vacancies at season’s end. Sources have indicated that the struggling Billikens would have high interest in Moser — and could also make significant financial accommodations. The carousel could also lead to a vacancy at Creighton, which is Moser’s alma mater. Obviously, Creighton would be a no-brainer for many reasons, and there are credible rumblings that Greg McDermott could be on the move.
According to various sources, it's more than just speculation; there is a substantial possibility that Moser will indeed accept a new coaching position this offseason. Sources have also indicated something feeling "off" recently within the OU basketball program. The major hurdle for any school will be his buyout, as he is under contract at Oklahoma through 2028.
