It also appears pretty clear to me that after yesterday's debacle, MU brought the smack down on anyone at MU talking, texting, tweeting, or thinking anything about this to anyone. My guess is there is a list of about 2 people authorized to say anything to anyone about the search. Threaten people with their jobs, and most will shut up. Assuming same message was extended to those outside/indirectly involved if they have any stake in dealing with MU.

If you want to hold out hope for Shaka Smart (I'm a Howland guy, myself), take today's radio silence as a good sign.

If the new President is announced tomorrow, there is no way we will hear anything else about ADs or coaches that might steal the thunder.  Minimally we wait until Thursday.  What a week
Man, if they are holding off to make the new President announcement, that guy must be a huge prima donna also. Does it really matter that Smart is announced before the President? Not really, unless somebody has a huge swollen head.

Joint announcement? *Fingers crossed*  ;D

I still think SS becomes our next coach. Obviously the delay worries anyone not intimately involved, which I am not. Probably very few people know if he is signed or not.
Hope we land him, Goose. You did post that we should think big. Maybe that was a problem.

New coach is a big, expensive decision...you want to make/announce that hire, and then name the President two days later? Who's in charge here? Not about being prima donna, as much as it is about involving the right people in the right thing...if there is even any connection between the two.

No--the reference is to the President. You are the piece of work for failure to comprehend the printed word.

They got some balls to post this without an official notice from Marquette that there is an announcement coming tomorrow.

It's something. Certainly doesn't hurt the chances to sign a big name coach either.

Agree.

Try this as an example. Tomorrow you are are going to be in charge of a local soda fountain. Your predecessor the day before fires the entire staff and replaces them with Curly, Larry and Shep. Think you would want to be in the loop on that clever move and so would a new President, no matter how humble.

yeah but he doesn't need a full day parade.

They can announce the coach too.

Seriously, the president? Hire him and tell him to get to work making sure the students are not a bunch of morons behind scene.

Unless, of course, Shaka is the president. 

He becomes coach and then gets to pick his own president.

No. I just don't want to here that a big announcement is the damn president.

I'm telling you even the schools valedictorian doesn't give a damn

Ever think the new coach may have something to do with it? Have they even met yet?

I definitely believe these things take time.  If I had to guess, I would say Kearney announced tomorrow as president and, hopefully, Shaka announced by end of week.  This being said, I would be happy with Howland, as well, but would not prefer Wardle.  Bottom line, MU is in a good situation and we all need to be patient.  (Easier said than done, I know.)
