Smart is not coming. All we are doing is getting him a better contract at VCU.

Ben is the best available. Lets get this done!

100% agree.

Gotta explore all options. Howland isnt going anywhere.

I wanted Howland from the start. Get it done.....

Pretty much what you said.

This whole story should have died at 5:00PM yesterday. Instead it got an extra full day of life from my least favorite words ever "Done Deal"

Its good to know that you two aren't in charge. We'd have hired the first guy through the door 6 years ago.

I thought we did?

The difference being that this time around the first guy has 3 final fours and not one year at the University of New Orleans.

Did the first guy 6 yrs ago have 3 final fours on his resume?

Yep ... I sure hope the next coach isn't a loser like Buzz was. We need to get some NCAA tournament wins, take a Big East title and develop some NBA players.

So MU should rush its hire because people on Scoop aren't patient enough to handle 24 hours of Shaka suspense?

Well, if Ben Howland is the first guy through the door then we certainly lucked out.

Don't think the first guy through the door 6 years ago had won 2 BE titles at Pitt, and taken UCLA to 3 Final Fours. If he had, we probably should have hired him.

Not saying it didn't work out, but they did hire the guy who was here from the moment the job became available.

Sure, keep this attitude and watch Howland move to Wake, while MU is stuck with Wardle.

MisterJaylenBrownMU · « **Reply #15 on:** March 25, 2014, 04:06:43 PM »

Not to add to the conspiracy theories, but...

Paint Touches ‏@PaintTouches 8m
Confirmed that Marquette's entire coaching staff, minus Jerry Wainwright, is out. Wainwright staying on board to help w/ transition. #mubb

Wouldn't this be something the new coach would have a say on? Seems odd to me that Marquette would force a new coach to keep Wainwright on his staff if he truly didn't want him. Unless a coach has already agreed to keep Wainwright on?

How about former Dominican High School Coach paul wollersheim!

If it comes down to a biding war between MU and Wake, I like MUs chances...

Do you guys really think Bill, Doc and Fr. Wild aren't working on this proactively? Really? Let's give our guys some credit.

Isn't it possible they are going with their previous boss?

I always thought Wainright was the 'adult in the room' heavily suggested by the administration.

Whoa, this is interesting. Anyone have any insight on how these decisions have been made in the past at MU or at other programs? Don't like that Chew is gone.

I just meant the Wainwright part. Who decided that Wainwright would stay on board to help with the transition? If the new coach decides to clean house, isn't that his prerogative?

I'd like to think we can get somebody with more experience and a better body of work, but why is everybody so convinced that Wardle absolutely, positively would be a disaster?

I haven't been around this site that long, but it must have gone completely bat$hit when we hired the ultimate nobody 6 years ago.

When Bond left the volleyball program the new coach brought in his own staff.
