Off the train
« on: March 03, 2020, 09:44:52 PM »
Was never a huge fan but defended the numbers and recruiting. I am a Marquette fan 1st and foremost so I truly hope we make a run but I do not believe in Wojo. Between the Ellenson year L against Depaul keeping us out of at least the NIT then the Rowsey year L at Depaul keeping us out of the NCAA now this (not to mention Butler and PC game 1) I'm done.

And before we have the conversation... No, do not install any member of this staff as the next HC.

As a relatively strong backer of Wojo myself, this was finally the game that made me realize we need a change. I really, really wanted him to succeed and I like him and his energy and passion for the university, but he doesn’t have what it takes to win here I don’t think.

I dont see how there is any way MU fans, even the casual fan, can still stomach this. The casual fan has to at least see all the Ls and see something is amiss. Watching the game was plain embarassing. Not a MU team I remember. They look scared. Its just mind boggling to see how far off the rails the team has come. Early in the season losses were bearable and they got some nice wins, but those all seem like they were won by a team not even close to what was on the court the last 5 games. Its just getting so mind-numbing how irrelevant MU is, despite the $$$ funneled through the program. 7 years is a long time.

How does one define failure?

How about signing a McD AA and potentially not even getting him to campus cause you imploded a team with an AA and historic scorer for the second year in a row. That says it all

Energy and Passion!??????? Hes plain vanilla and might as well be coaching from the locker room.

Harsh. But sadly, potentially true.

I’m officially off the train too. Wait. I jumped off 8 games into Wojo’s first year.

Its funny how fast this meltdown happened on this forum.   The apologists were feeling well full here with that top 25 ranking.   

Now the mood on this forum is
“Bring out yer dead.........bring out yer dead”

Finally the era of wojo apology might come to an end.   

Our best chance to rid the program of this mediocrity magnet is he notices the winds changing and bails for a desperate power 5 program.   Not even sure anybody would be interested at this point though.

Imagine being a projo and touting a top 25 ranking during a couple weeks of the season.. 

How big of a loser does one have to be..

Well, he is getting a good chunk of his contract from Cleveland bought out. Could subsidize $500K-$1MM of it

It should be obvious by now that Wojo is not the answer (really, he hasn't been the answer for a while)

To be fair when we first got ranked things were looking pretty good. Why would anyone not be optimistic

Because history, that’s why.

But I guess I can try to see why some would remain optimistic.  I don’t recall our crap ty fans ever having to bring up mid season rankings while Buzz or others were here

Unfortunately, It's time.  It may suck going forward with someone new but we all know now that it's going to continue to suck with the current guy if he stays/or we keep him!
