The Utah job opening up today. This is the absolute perfect landing spot for Wojo . Pac -12 and most importantly his bride is from Park City , Utah and loves the mountains. Wojo has the built in excuse he is doing the move for family reason. His whole persona would go over well out there. The story could be he is following in the footsteps of MU legend Rick Majerus. It all works.
Get the whiteboard out Wojo and start selling!!!

Utah pays $7m+ to send Coach K packing to hire Wojo away from MU. Makes perfect sense
I honestly heard Wojo bought a home in St George UT. Not joking. Don't know the validity of it and if it was a joke I didn't get it at the time. This was about a month ago...

If Craig Smith leaves Utah State for Utah or Minnesota; sure Wojo can go live full time in Utah coaching from Utah State

St. George is not commuting distance from the University of Utah, almost 4 hours away. It's closer to Las Vegas than it is to Provo.

If that's the case, he wouldn't have to go all the way to Vegas. He can simply hit Mesquite, just over the border into Nevada and a half hour from St. George.
Maybe he's taking the job at Dixie State.

Yes; I guess I was thinking of BYU. But it's about the same distance from St. George.
Laughing my ass off at all the schools pulling the trigger on underperforming coaches and paying the big payouts while Wojo slurpers make excuses on why MU cannot do same.

I like this board ( way better than the

But, question - are the black helicopters
Included ... or do we have pay
Extra for those ??
I can neither confirm nor deny the presence of black helicopters in MUScoop's fleet.

Always enjoyed your perspective when we were both " over there." You never felt the need to spout the company line, if you know what I mean.

The most interesting part of the article to me is the first paragraph, where it says Utah tried to reach an agreement with Krystowiak to step down in an amicable fashion. Does this just mean they tried to get him to accept a lower buyout, and in turn the story would be spun that school and coach mutually parted ways? Might it be possible for MU to do something like that with Wojo?

If Wojo and MU were to announce that they mutually agreed to part ways, unless he ended up at another P6 job within a week, is there ANYONE who would actually think that the decision was really mutual? Wojo knows that. If I were Wojo, I would not take a penny less that what was contractually agreed upon to get fired. We may not like the results, but its not like he was mailing it in. I think he was/is doing his level best.

I'm guessing MU is at the point where if Wojo came to them with another job offer, they'd easily waive the buyout. And hire movers. And ship his golf clubs. And transfer his cable / internet. And forward his mail. And pay his outstanding tab at NSCC. And fly him there. And return his Bergstrom SUVs and pay for the excess mileage.

I'd like to think Woj would take less to pursue a more user friendly job. It can't be much fun knowin' 98% of Scoopdom wants to hang you out a 20 story window by your nutsack, aina?

If one is hanging by one's nutsack, does the height above the ground really matter? Is dangling 200 feet off the ground really any worse than dangling 10 feet off the ground in this scenario?

There is a lot to be said for being content somewhere there is less pressure. Ask guys like Mark Few, Bob McKillop and Porter Moser.
However, I don't know anything about the pressure to win at Utah. Maybe it's as much or more than at Marquette. They've been to a Final Four. They're in a P5 conference. Maybe UteScoop is even dopier than we are.

Yes. If I was dangling by my nutsack, I'd wanna be up high enough to knock me unconscious the moment I hit the ground. Not sure 10 feet would necessarily do the trick....

This message board is no "dopier" than any other major conference school's. Let's say Wojo somehow took a deal where he mutually parted ways with MU and went back to Duke as the coach-in-waiting. The Duke fan base would be apoplectic and their Athletic Department would be flooded with calls from angry boosters and season ticket holders. Right now, Wojo is Liz Taylor in the 60s—certified box office poison.

Where is the pressure to win at Marquette with current admin? If there was pressure he would be gone by now. It is apparent Wojo is back because he would have been released by now.
Pressure at most private / no football schools is about 10% the pressure of a big state school.

Ask the DA in LA Confidential when Russel Crowe had him hanging out his office window, pretty close to his nutsack. Or ask Johnny Stompanato when Crowe did have him by the nutsack for the correct info he wanted.

I was responding to this:

It can't be much fun knowin' 98% of Scoopdom wants to hang you out a 20 story window by your nutsack, aina?So I guess Doc Dribble thinks Marquette is not "user-friendly" because 98% of this site wants to ... um ... see him go.
All I commented on was Utah's version of Scoop, not either school's administration.
Although you might be right about lack of pressure on Wojo from the MU administration, Krystkowiak apparently faced even less at Utah.
In his first 9 seasons there, Krystkowiak had zero conference titles and 2 NCAA tourney appearances (and, unlike MU, Utah wasn't gonna go last year). He went 33-29 in the 2018-19 and 2019-20 seasons combined ... and yet he was brought back for 2020-21 -- his 10th season.
That's a pretty chill administration.
