And then what the hell's the point? As much credit as Popovich gets, he does have THE BEST POWER FORWARD EVER TO PLAY THE GAME. Maybe if Joel Embiid goes to the Lakers and D'antoni is fired, but frankly the Lakers don't go for guys who aren't proven (even though it would be a brilliant move).

2. If Self does leave, I honestly don't think he'd go without Manning being ready to take over.

3. If Self leaves, and Manning takes over, he would die on the job. First coach we would have had in a long ass time that actually played for KU.

#2 is absolutely irrelevant
