The buzz around Louisville’s coaching search seems to be focused on Xavier head coach Chris Mack.
Eric Crawford of WDRB stated earlier tonight that he expects Mack to be named head coach of the Cardinals soon.
Here’s an excerpt:
4). WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? This is prediction time. It’s an educated prediction, but nonetheless just one man’s prediction. I won’t waste a lot of time. I can give it to you in four sentences.
I expect Vince Tyra to be named the school’s permanent athletic director, possibly by the end of this week or early next week.
I expect women’s basketball coach Jeff Walz to be signed to a long-term extension soon.
I expect Chris Mack of Xavier to be named the next men’s basketball coach at the University of Louisville, sooner rather than later.
The season is over, but the next week or so should be interesting for Louisville.
Here are some other thoughts from social media:
Hearing that @CoachChrisMack to Louisville is a done deal. Say it isn’t so Coach. Fair skinned bald men don’t look good in red and black. You are a blue and white guy.

Curious to see how quickly Louisville’s Interim AD Vince Tyra makes his move for Xavier's Chris Mack. To say he's the favorite would be an understatement.
