1) He has not done enough yet at the level he is at to get a job like Marquette.
2) Based on #1 with his current status, would he even be anywhere near the list if he was not an Alum? I dont think so.
3) MU is at a higher level as a program right now and doesnt need to take this kind of a risk.
4) MU can sign him whenever they want. IE in a few years from now if the current "new guy" leaves for a blue blood. MU can snap up Wardle at that time when he has a little more seasoning.
You can include many of the assistants to this line of thinking as well.

Can I at least get an Amen then? :)
Brian is an up and coming candidate. If he can prove himself in the next couple of years he will be a head coach somewhere else soon. If he can, hopefully he is still around the next time we need a coach. Just because you went to school somewhere does not mean you want to coach there someday.
Lets not burn bridges with Mr. Wardle. He isn't the choice for the job now, but there should be nothing bad said about the guy here.

Where did somebody say anything bad about him?

No one. Yet. Cutting it off before it happens.

Not sure I would even call him up and coming quite yet. This past season was his first of only four seasons with over 20 wins. Not saying he won't be a candidate some day, but right now he shouldn't be considered by MU. The only thing that keeps him in the conversation is that he played at MU.
Definitely a compelling candidate, and has done nice things in GB, but even with their excellent year this year it's not totally clear whether the program is ascendent or had the stars align. It would be great to see the program continue to improve to top-tier mid-major and maybe make a tournament or two before making a bet on him.

I knew him while students at MU, and never really liked him. He always seems conceited.
I'm sure he's very hurt.
If MU were to hire Howland, and Wardle's career were to continue an ascent, he could be the guy in 5-7 years. He is not the guy today.

He has gotten UWGB to a respectable level in the Horizon... should have probably made the tourney this year.
I hesitate to criticize anyone I don't know, as he probably is a decent guy and in time will do great at what he does. For now though, he's not the guy.
He has not recruited at a high D-1 level, Period. The difference between Marquette and UW-GB is the ability to recruit and he isn't there yet.

Agree, but only one year.

But this year. And with his guys.

Well we know the pg Wardle recruited is a heck of a lot better than the one Buzz recruited.

I knew him a little bit and had the exact opposite opinion. I guess people's mileage varies.

Hasn't done stink. This is supposed to be a big time program, aina?

And who is the guy today? Don't think they are knocking down the doors to get in.
Wardle has more HC experience and wins than the last two HC's combined when hired.
LOL at all the experts out there. Smart: a con man. Howland: issues at UCLA, and likely already pissed off at MU.
I do not want another assistant coach to be hired.

Then where are the big time candidates?
Tough to get when you're a ship without a rutter, hey?
Lack of AD leadership is not helping the cause. Cord stating he is here for one year is not what any incoming coach wants to hear.

Yep, tabling the search for an AD doesn't convince anyone that there is stability...just tells them that they have to put up with gramps calling pointless press conferences for a year. Even if the AD isn't in place, I'd rather see the short list now than have a quick fix and have to plan for uncertainty later.

Ideally, who would you suggest marquette go after then? You do a whole helluva lot of complaining around here with no solutions or insight for a gameplan. If you have, I haven't seen it.

Have had solutions--you should try reading. I have said repeatedly we were getting played by Smart. That could have been resolved last week already. I have also said forget asst. coaches. People here are claiming that MU is a big time job and there are big time players interested. OK go after those, since they are beating the door down. Howland was interested-hire him. I do not have the names of all the big time interested parties, but I am doubtful there are that many.
BTW, instead of shooting you mouth off, try reading my posts, instead of slamming them. What are your useful insights?
Wardle's peeps respect him but that do they know? http://www.greenbayphoenix.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=22500&ATCLID=209447165

I see Mike Heideman won the award for UWGB in 1996. Have we contacted him?

All you do is slam posts as well and was just wondering who you think we should go after and why. You said Howland and I agree. But don't just say big time players and then have no concrete suggestions. Wasn't shooting off my mouth. I think we were closer to Shaka than some think. Also think we need grab Howland and nix assistants which is along the same lines as your thinking. You just weren't saying specific candidates in majority of your posts as to who you think we should go after so I was bringing that up. I take it you have a pretty short temper outside of a message board too? Or is that just an internet thing?
