Goose Leaving The Country So This Needs to Get Sorted

The new coach will be announced at 2 pm presser or they will cancel it. It won't be a press conference for update. It's a placeholder.

Cuonzo can't recruit.  Bruce Weber's name came up as well.   Next topic please.  None of these will be MU's next coach due to their inability to recruit top 100 players.

Think this is astute analysis...

I'm thinking we will be hearing more leaks as night goes on.  Some national

If that e-mail is real, why would Kuykendall lie?

The timing allows for Marquette to announce the head coach in the morning while he is informing his players and assistant coaches that he is leaving.  Shortly after that he will catch a flight to Milwaukee that will land in time for a press conference everyone is prepared for.

Would be ridiculous to hold update press conference.

How is the search going?

Ok but slow

Can you tell us who you are considering?

No

Can you tell us anything else?

No

Cords can't be that stupid to hold that type of press conference

Great thought, but yeah, no.

You keep saying this but what is your source??  The SID just said in writing that it is NOT to announce a new coach.

isnt it unprecedented to outright lie though? Usually it's a bit more vague.

Is it possible that as of this moment it is not a lie?

Or if he doesn't have a current team (Howland), he could already be in Milwaukee.  MU could then announce him in the morning and introduce him at 2pm and state that the negotiations went faster than anticipated.

We have two choices, either MU is smart and doing this correctly or they are grossly incompetent.

MU admin's may have had their issues but I refuse to believe they are as stupid as this looks on the surface.  The presser will change in topic or it will be canceled.

Even if they don't make it a coach announcement, I'm betting it will be a statement that we've reached an agreement in principal with an unnamed individual.  Think about it, classic negotiation.  They have target A who is hesitating, you make it obvious that you are moving on to B.  You either sign B or A comes back and takes the offer.  It's about leveraging A.  As the offerer though you have to be happy with B though if the bluff is called.

Heard Martin hour ago as option. I have mo idea what is gong on at this point.

Sorry guys.

This post broke my heart.....

Thank you Goose and Keefe for all of your efforts.

[MikeDeanesDarkGlasses]

QUICK!!!  FIND OUT WHERE THE PRIVATE JET IS!!! 

[RushmoreAcademy]

Cords will start to announce there is no coach at this time and then mid-sentence Shaka's entrance music will hit and Cords will look around, confused and then look shocked as he seems our man emerge. Shaka will run to the podium.  The entire thing is being set up by Vince McMahon.

[NotBuzzWilliams]

You think someone would do that?  Just go on the internet and tell lies?

Unreal. Bring in a zero like that and I'm done. I don't care if MU is my alma mater. I live on the West Coast, not that hard to find another team to root for.

Post of the thread.  This makes so much sense.

The funny thing is we have seen too many people post things that make too much sense, yet none of it has been true.  Let's all just take a deep breath, sit back, and see what happens at 2:00 PM tomorrow.  After that, we might have a slightly better idea as to what's going on.

Right now, I'm leaning toward grossly incompetent.

I think you're on to something here. We all have a good feeling that Howland (AKA Candidate B) wants the job. MU's first choice is Shaka (AKA Candidate A). MU cannot figure out if Shaka is jerking them around to get a raise/facilities/etc out of VCU, and want this all to be over. So, they are going to publicly state that they are ready to sign a candidate (Howland), in an attempt to get Shaka to come to a conclusion. If Shaka comes to the table, he'll be the coach as of Friday AM. If not, Howland will be.

Or MU is totally clueless, but I just can't see this crew being that dumb.
