Wut?

Quote from: MU82 on Today at 06:18:42 PMThere always seems to be another coaching offer for white retreads. Even those who went 14-31 over their last four seasons, including 9-25 in the conference, and were forced to leave in disgrace.

Convenient to go the last 4 years instead of a normal 5 cause that cuts out a year they went 8-1 in the B10 and Fitz won COY.

And yes his last 2 years were really bad but he won national COY in the 2020 going 7-2 (6-1).

The hazing situation, regardless of his legal absolution, is an understandable black cloud to the hiring.  But chalking him up as another "white retread" because of those last 2 years (when any other 3-4 year snapshot of his time at NW captures really good results for the job) is an absurd underselling of the coaching he did at one of the most unwinnable jobs in the country historically.

And of course MSU fans are mad.  They are delusional about their place in the B10/CFB world and have been since Saban left.  They weren't happy when Dantonio was hired either.

Quote from: Big Papi on Today at 01:29:12 PMShaka is a great guy, great character and a great ambassador for Marquette.  His in-game coaching skills are average.  I think he does a good job of player development although if we only look at this year, I could see someone saying he is not good developing players.  I don't know about recruiting.  That he is stubborn with the portal is a huge detriment to putting out the best team year after year.

Agree! Feel Shaka is an awesome Coach who has temporarily lost his way but will get it back.

Quote from: Small Orange Soda on November 29, 2025, 02:55:59 PMI agree with what you're saying about transfers. It's about talent identification.

But so much of the identity has been about no transfers, and well, the biggest success has been with transfers.

But we gotta stop looking into guys who we're in recruiting battles with prep schools for. That's bad.

I'd venture to guess that Shaka believed Hamilton, Zaide, Tre, Royce, and Ben would be way better at this point in the season.  I certainly thought Zaide and Royce would be.  The said truth is they haven't at all and some have actually looked worse.   The biggest whiff imo is not having anyone who can consistently make plays off the bounce.  Kam developed that part of his game and Tyler was a maestro.  We don't have a player on our roster that makes it easier for others to get quality looks.  As for the defensive end?  I think our interior players really struggle.  I'll just leave it at that. 

Quote from: Billy Hoyle on Today at 08:19:33 PMNo, they can spend up to $20.5 million in revenue share, but outside of the Power 4 conferences schools aren't making that kind of revenue.

MU should have a over $5 million to distribute but as a private school we'll never know how much exactly. VCU is doing $4 to $5 million.

Keep in mind the new TV deal for the BE is on par with the BB portion of the P4 TV deals. It is 4X + A10 money.

Quote from: The Equalizer on Today at 03:06:11 PMIf MU had lost to 3 top 25 teams (as opposed to 4 unaranked ones) maybe you could make the case that we are comparable to St. Johns.

Extremely lost

Man, thats a baller deal god damn.
