Excerpt:


But Capel, who is still only 41 years old, has ultimately decided to be extremely patient with his career -- the way Shaka Smart was at VCU, the way Brad Stevens was at Butler, the way Archie Miller is right now at Dayton -- and wait for an absolutely perfect opportunity before committing to becoming a head coach again, mostly because he's currently in a great spot as the associate head coach for, and right-hand man to, Hall of Famer Mike Krzyzewski. Beyond all that, Capel will be an obvious candidate to take over at Duke whenever Krzyzewski eventually retires. So although Capel is anxious to again run his own program, it will, at this point, take something really special to get him to leave his alma mater, sources told CBS Sports.

If true about the "really special" criteria, I don't think Jeff's leaving for any of the openings right now.

Also, as linked yesterday, the GaTech Rivals site is reporting that Bryce Drew is going to be their guy anyway.

Hard to see him leaving at all then until K retires. The very top tier of jobs are not going to be open soon except maybe for UCLA. Of the top tier of jobs, obviously he'd have the best chance to get the Duke job.

Capel is hanging around til K goes. He has the best assistant coach job in all of sports. He's likely to be the successor if he stays at this point and if he does succeed K, he has the best college job in all of America.
