Gilbert to Coach Murray
Well... The rumors have been swirling during the past month about who will become hot-shot Andy Murray's new coach and now it's looking like Brad Gilbert, former coach of Andre Agassi and Andy Roddick and current ESPN commentator, is a key contender. The LTA has reportedly offered Gilbert 500,000 pounds (about $900,000) to coach Murray, as well as be involved with other top British prospects. Gilbert has said he is focused on his duties for ESPN during The Championships and will speak with Murray after the tournament. "It's very nice to be wanted," Gilbert said Tuesday. "I get offered a lot of jobs, none that have piqued my interest. This is maybe the first that has piqued my interest. It's just one of those things that kind of came up out of the blue a couple weeks ago." Gilbert also said he needs to discuss the decision with his family. "I haven't discussed this 100 percent with my wife. [ESPN] is a nice traveling situation and that would be a big lifestyle change. So these are the things that have to be discussed. If [I'm] going to coach, it's going to be full-time and that means a lot of weeks away from your family."
