I don’t blame him. These past 24 hours have been an embarrassment for the Marquette community, and quite a bit of that embarrassment has come from members on this message board. If you are over 25 and are calling for another person to lose his job while hiding behind a moniker you are part of the problem.

What if I am 25, but like 25 and 3 months...does that make me over 25, or am I just 25? Wondering if I can continue to safely talk stuff behind my monitor/moniker. You are the stuff-talking gatekeeper so I suppose you can help clarify.

Not condoning this behavior whatsoever, it's totally wrong. That being said, if he deleted it because he doesn't want to hear criticism(not hatred), then maybe he should win games in the tourney. Especially as a higher seed.

Sure, I’ll clarify. A moniker is another word for an alias. When people call for someone to be fired and don’t use their real name and instead a username, also an alias, also a moniker, they embarrass themselves and the Marquette community at large.  If you need more help with the word moniker Webster’s has an awesome online dictionary you can check out.

All criticism of Wojo without official signature and stamp “embarrasses the Marquette community.” So let it be written.

All that being said, there is a significant difference between the coach of a college basketball program (which arguably spends more on its program that 95% of the other programs) and Jim in accounts payable. 

Jim is not making $2 million a year in a high profile job.  Criticism of the head coach goes with the territory.

I’m not saying he can’t be criticized, and I’m not saying you can’t ask for him to be replaced. What I am saying is that if you are going to publicly call for another person to be fired from their job have the courage to attach your name to it.

Nope.  When they were younger I said if you want access to these apps, I have to approve them and that includes "friending" me (or whatever the term is) on those apps, and in exchange I'll pay for your phone service. I also, as a parent, have the right to kill the app, stop the phone service, etc.

Well you see Chicos, people apply..and then they get chosen from that group that do apply. It's called a hiring process..You keep asking people who should replace Wojo...until/unless you know who would apply for the job, NO ONE can answer that. But, if you want some sort of answer...here's mine...ANYONE that wants to return Marquette to it's glory. A Coach that KNOWS he can do that, a Coach that sees a program that has performed well below where a Marquette program should perform, and won't let that happen again. A Coach that will win big given the resources he is given at MU. That's your answer.

You're right, it's not worth it. But interesting names. Oats I agree with, I think he's the real deal but he just signed an extension with Buffalo, doesn't mean he won't go elsewhere but maybe not this year. Young I'm leery of. Lots of experience but I'm skeptical of a guy who needs 17 years to look attractive to high major programs. Smith had a helluva debut for Utah State but that's putting a lot of weight on one season. High risk, high reward pick. Yaklich is an interesting name. Supposedly he's the mastermind behind Michigan's defense, and KenPom seems to support that theory. Very inexperienced, he was coaching high school 6 years ago and has never been a head coach. Very high risk potentially very high reward.

I can only infer from your posts that if Wojo gets hit by a bus tomorrow that MU will have no other choice than to move to Division III. No coach in his right mind would take the MU job?

Hate to tell you but Marquette is bigger and better than Wojo or any head coach. We hope he does great next year and for more years too come. If not. MU will move on. MU will have great options.

Lol.  Nope, and nowhere ever did I say MU is done if Wojo goes.  Nor that it isn’t bigger than any coach. 

If Wojo can’t do it, fine...make a change.  I’m not convinced that is the case yet.  And what is the plan?  Every time we go through this we have the most absurd suggestions from the experts on this board, which of course don’t happen and never will in a million years.  You make a change, you better have a damn good plan.  99.99999% people here don’t, instead they are just upset and venting with no structured reality to their thoughts other than fire him.

I should go through and make a list of the coaches this board has suggested over the years just to show how unhinged most are.

Wojo also had some interesting Twitter likes the past few weeks. Rumors and just random things that I was surprised by. I assumed he accidentally liked them, but a few popped up. There was a decent amount of ref tweets after Seton Hall that Lovell and other AD staff liked as well.

After reading the link Cheeks posted, I didn’t see anything that was really beyond the pale, just some justifiably upset MU fans calling Wojo out after a blowout loss.  Certainly nothing like what was done to Herro per the Bleacher Report article.  If people were actually threatening him or his family, I understand why he’d delete it.  But if he just can’t handle criticism, deleting the account the day after a Tournament loss is pretty weak, and, as Gary Busey would say, makes Wojo look like a gut maggot with no guts.

This isn’t the first time Wojo has shown his thin skin, unfortunately.  I don’t think any of us have forgotten when he went off on the student reporter last year.  And if he is going to be sensitive to fans and media, he could at least give us all a memorable quote once in a while.  Unfortunately, the man makes Robocop look like Robin Williams.

Saw that one earlier. Lovell liked a few Cracked Sidewalks and fan tweets about the Theo/Sacar. Just was a bit odd seeing leaders like tweets that were venting.

ETA: wrong tweet the first time.

Over the past couple of years, I've seen Wojo's account like some very odd tweets, including some inflammatory tweets about other college coaches from unverified/fan accounts.  They would show up in my feed as "liked by steve wojo" and I would click through to his account,  but they weren't in his feed.  They were things a public leader never would say or publicly acknowledge.  I almost sent an email to the AD with screenshots saying his account was hacked.  But, now both his and Lovell's are doing it?  Odd.

It could also be the game that many coaches play as a salary negotiating tactic...see other schools want me, so pony up to keep me, otherwise you'll need to start the rebuild again.

If Wojo is playing the money game he has the wrong agent. He should be hoping none of his pay is asking to be refunded, not leveraging up at this moment.

If the UNLV rumors are true is there any chance he’s being “encouraged” to explore his options from within the MU admin? Maybe to help both parties save some face?

I've generally been pro-Wojo and frankly think this sounds like much ado about nothing (if he is out there it's probably recruiting), but if he were to go, now would be the time. We return a strong foundation that would help a new coach get established quickly. Better than bailing in a year when we would lose 4 seniors & have another potential grad transfer.

I read this morning that you said he isn't linked to any other schools and that was a bad thing.  Now that he is linked to other schools, it is also a bad thing?  Kind of having it both ways, are you not?

You seemed to care last night when you mentioned it, but I misunderstood your intent.  My thoughts are that internet rumors are not credible.  There are a few different camps here it seems.  Those that want Wojo out, those that think we are trending right and good things on the horizon.  Overlap that with those that saw greatness in the past (my era) in a different time and those that saw greatness with the Final Four or Buzz's mini run, but balancing against negatives off the court. 

Marquette is a special place with people that love the university and basketball program.  Sometimes that love can be too much, if you know what I mean.  Smothering. The desire to return so strong, we smother our coaches and the players.  Let them breathe.

I would definitely wonder what is the rest of the story.  And while I don't think Wojo should be fired, I wouldn't be distraught if he left. 

Coaches come and go.  Each coaching change presents a combination of challenges and new opportunities.   I'd still prefer Wojo stays though, because next year should be Wojo's best year yet.

Some have bigger set of rabbit ears than other guys. No doubt, a tough racket having idiots like me commenting on performance. As you know, that comes with a big paycheck. In the case of Wojo, I think any criticism on here, aside from couple of guys, is hardly harsh criticism.
