Tubby to Maryland? Another round of rumors

That didn't take long.

Another round of rumors. The Maryland job has opened up and multiple outlets have mentioned Tubby Smith as a possible target.

Dick Vitale, via Twitter, said Smith should be a candidate for the job vacated when Gary Williams announced his retirement Thursday.

We'll see what happens. It's still early in the process.

But I haven't seen anything definitive that links Smith to the opening, although a source close to the program said that he thinks Smith would listen if Maryland called.
