While Shaka is the sexier hire, Howland gives us just as good of a chance at a FF, IMO. I just hope he didn't get turned off by all this.

Trying to mentally prepare myself for a Wardle/Kolczyk (sp? Toledo coach) hire.

Is jim Boylan on there to? That'd be quite the impressive duo when it comes to judging coaching talent.

No, but potential candidates are dropping off the list. Smart is staying at VCU...Howland supposedly removed his name from consideration...Miller is staying at Dayton...and Masiello is moving to USF. Also, we hear that MU has no interest in Gregg Marshall.

I hope I'm wrong. But I can see MU serving up Wardle as a member of the family...a coach who won't be leaving at the first opportunity. I'm sure this is a big point with many on the BoT.

Howland removed his name? When?

I don't see it....Cords wouldn't do it. Not a chance....I'm going to twitter and say NO WAY IN HELL DONE.

Honestly, I like him, he was there when I worked there, but we need to act like a big boy.

Not his time.

If MU has no interest in Marshall, who just won the Coach of the Year Award, and do hire Wardle, then something is very, very wrong. What would be worse than Hiroshima?

You would think so. It will probably turn out to be someone totally out of left field, like Scott Skiles.

i'm more than willing to put a wager to a charity of choice that wardle is not the next MU coach. i have more faith in doc.

Jesus christ you all need to step off the ledge. Attention whores all of you.

You guys nailed it.

Wardle's a candidate, but he's down the list.

I assume Cords is working on this, but does he have real power? Or do some on the BoT see him as a temp who's keeping the seat warm until a permanent hire is made?

Earlier today, Jeff Goodman was asked about the MU coaching situation. His thoughts: Smart ain't coming. The three names he mentioned are Howland, Hopkins from Syracuse, and...wait for it...Wardle.

He has a large part of the power.

While I would like a big name coach, maybe a coach with a chip on his shoulder and something to prove is really what Marquette needs.

Yes go get him and get this over with...Get Wardle and lets go. Keep Chew.

MUsoxfan · « **Reply #41 on:** March 25, 2014, 05:31:48 PM »

Since MU has never hired a head coach with previous head coaching experience in anything but a low-major, you can pretty much bank on Wardle being hired

FYI - Chew is already gone...and no...you don't go get Wardle to get it over with...he'll be waiting in the wings till the end of April...because: A) He's an MU alum and would love the job. B) NO other schools are pursuing him...which leads to C) Exactly why he is not the right answer for MU at this time - we are far beyond needing to take a coach who hasn't even made an NCAA tournament...and/or doesn't have a ton of recruiting chops/prowess/connections.

Would be an impact hire. Just kidding by the way.

There has been zero out there to indicate Wardle. Now we're just making up things rather than depending on unsubstantiated reports. Awesome.

You don't always need "substantial reports" here inna forum. You need common sense and reasonable deduction.

There is nothing wrong with speculation and opinion on Brian Wardle.

That is a good choice. I don't need that to be reported to me from somewhere else to substantiate it for me. Go to Twitter for that.

Now move. Leave me alone and let me go and take down my Shaka avatar... or I could leave it up until I get 'substantial reports" that it is official that he is not coming.

Nice guy for the future. We would lose every recruit signed and most of current players. Has he had terrific recruits? I just don't see this. Not saying it won't be done but not seeing any benefit to Marquette other than saving money.
