Column: Porter Moser Turned Down St. John’s. Here’s Why it was the Right Move

College basketball never ceases to amaze — even in the offseason.

Loyola fans started squirming when a report came out that Porter Moser was in New York for a job interview for the St. John’s University head coaching job. They got even more uncomfortable when Moser was reportedly offered a contract that night.

Tuesday afternoon, Rambler Nation relaxed for the first time in 24 hours when Moser turned the job down and released a statement saying he was “ALL IN” on staying in Rogers Park.

All last year and through the Final Four, Moser talked about how he was a “Catholic kid from Chicago” and showed how much he genuinely cared about the fans.
