A lot is riding on this hire. Nationally, MU's reputation as a basketball power is on the line. And personally, my support for the program is also on the line.

I swear....bring in a Plan D (or E) coach and I'm done. I'm two time zones away from Milwaukee...I'll find it pretty easy to escape all things MU. You know, the PAC-12 plays decent hoops and their football is quite entertaining.

I will always be a Marquette fan, but I hear you. I found myself tuning out much of this past season. There are more important things to be annoyed at other than mu basketball

That's what I talking about. As this crappy season dragged on, I found myself becoming more and more disengaged. At first, it was hard to kick my MU addiction, but after a while, it was pretty easy. Even found myself forgetting MU had a game that night until I saw the result the next day.

I certainly don't want to bail on my school and team. But they're really forcing my hand.

I hope that is plan G.  I've posted this a few times, but with the volume of posts, I'm sure a lot haven't seen.  I know people who know Shaka Smart. They all say that he is without question, one of the most introspective guys alive. He is anal beyond belief. He asks hundreds of questions and runs through scenario after scenario and thinks long-term, short-term and everything in between. Unlike Buzz, who played the "aw shucks" but still thought he was the smartest guy in the room, Smart is the smartest guy in the room. He could have gone to any Ivy and is known for his intellect. It isn't in his DNA to make a quick, rash decision no matter what is on the table. We have not heard a "no" -- that is a good sign. I have no inside knowledge of the negotiations, but it is definitely coming to a close.

My thought is that if it is Smart, we will hear of on twitter before the announcement. Nothing has been leaked by Smart and that is a good thing. But he seems like the type of guy who will talk to his players, then announce his plans (if he does intend to leave). He will tell his players not to say anything until he announces, but that never happens. On the flip side, if we don't hear anything for a while, that would lead me to believe that a guy that has no current players, like say Howland, will be announced in short order.

Those are the two guys I would like to see. The idea of Wardle just makes me cringe. And that some here think he would be a good choice baffles me. What about Brian Barone?

He can coach.  Recruiting is the question mark, nothing that can't be solved by an ace recruiter or two on staff.  I'm good with him.    Could coach circles around C. Martin, Wardle, many of the names.  And a much more likeable guy than Howland without the baggage from UCLA.

The moped would be the better hire of the two.  It would have much more success landing top 100 recruits due to its smooth ride.  Imagine ripping into the Bradley Center on that thing while U2 plays and the Team runs out.

Did you guys know Bruce if from Milwaukee, and is on record as being a custard enthusiast?  It's true.  I bet he basically camps out at Kopps once he moves up there.  My only fear is that he is a high risk for distracted driving accidents, while rubbernecking the Kopps flavor of the day sign on 43 in the mornings.   :o

K-State fans have sort of embraced Bruce even though he is an excruciatingly painful dork.  I mean, he's OUR excruciatingly painful dork, ya know?

One adorable thing about Bruce is that he complains about officiating in a really passive aggressive way, and typically waits until after the game to do so.  He is universally loved by the Refs....he never yells at them, and they never feel pressured to give him calls.  They love him!

Also, his voice sounds like a screeching 5 year old child because of surgery he had on his vocal cords when he was young.  It's not his fault his voice makes you want to die, he can't help it.  It gets easier the more you listen to it.  However, my wife still convulses if she hears it, so I have go out and listen to the Coaches Show on the radio in the car.   She'll come around eventually.

http://www.jsonline.com/sports/goldeneagles/bill-cords-will-remain-marquettes-athletic-director-another-year-b99234755z1-252834361.html

QuoteOther candidates are believed to include former UCLA coach Ben Howland, Syracuse assistant Mike Hopkins, Wichita State coach Gregg Marshall, Kansas State coach Bruce Weber, UW-Green Bay coach Brian Wardle and possibly Tulsa coach Danny Manning.

Quote"You have to be careful in this process. You have to be sensitive to the people involved in the process," said Cords, who was asked to remain for an additional year before Williams' departure. "Timing is important. You really have to do your due diligence to make sure this is absolutely the best person.  We aren't just looking for a great coach, we are looking for someone with significant major conference head coaching experience and local ties. We don't believe Marquette is a stepping stone job."

Sounds like this Cords guy is basically describing Bruce Weber, right?   Major coaching experience, ties to the area....who else could it be? ?-(

The up and coming young coach method has it's downside as we have all seen.

MU has done everything it could, thrown a crap ton of money at coaches.  Crean went to a blueblood, Buzz crapped on MU's porch.  

Why not Weber?  He can sure as hell coach.  Hire top notch recruiters.

So, the VCU guys are saying that Dick Strong is still calling the shots.  Is that right?

QuoteMarquette actually spends more on basketball per player than most programs in the country. There is a donor up there, Dick Strong, who basically pays the coaches salary. He is even granted an interview with potential coaching candidates. Things work a little differently at the private schools.
