Martin ends up getting the job

[Goose]

Martin will get the job IMO and will happen quickly.

[nyg]

Can he bring Stokes with him? 

[MU_Beav]

well then.

[Eldon]

So that's why he didn't make adjustments in the first half.

[AlumKCof93]

Any inside info on this, or just a gut feeling?

[Marquette_g]

My immediate reaction was negative but I've come around on him.

[The Process]

[mugrack]

That would be a suck hire

[nyg]

So that's why he didn't make adjustments in the first half.

Please don't get the thousand posts a day guy going.  He is all over the place, been staying away from this in light of it.

Solid inside info. That said, this idiot was on Shaka 24 hours ago. Believe this happening big time because I think they want to move forward.

i'm okay with this.  i was all about howland, but there are obviously concerns, and i respect cords and co. enough.  had no use for martin when his name was first mentioned, and what they just accomplished means a little to me, but after reading into his history, looking at the ken pom numbers, and seeing what he's accomplished in an ugly situation with the pearl issues i'm pretty impressed.  seems like a class act...just make sure we have a large buy-out so he's not looking to go back to purdue if painter continues to have a rough time of it.

[NickelDimer]

I'm happier about this hire tonight than I would've been yesterday. 

[Fullodds]

Take Howland.  

[Goose]

IMO it is short changing the program. Not a horrible hire but not what could have been.

For a split second there I thought Cuonzo Martin was going to be an Elite Eight coach.  Onto that interview with Marquette.

Why is it, exactly, that we think Cuonzo Martin would consider Marquette?

Regarding Marquette's "mystery candidate" in Sweet 16, I suppose only ones that make sense are Cuonzo Martin and Archie Miller, right?

#mubb MT @JasonKingBR Not saying he's the No. 1 guy, but don't be surprised if Cuonzo Martin's name surfaces in the Marquette search.

[Goose]

He is the mystery guy. Not my mystery guy, but is the guy.

Time will tell!

[NavinRJohnson]

IMO it is short changing the program. Not a horrible hire but not what could have been.

What could have been, though? Shaka couldn't have been (his choice). After Howland, aren't they all about the same (asks the guy who wants them to hire Howland)?

[NickelDimer]

He is the mystery guy. Not my mystery guy, but is the guy.

Your  mystery guy was Bennet Goose?

[VegasWarrior77]

Is this the impact hire we've been waiting for???

[Goose]

Bennett had interest, Martin was guy chasing.

[NickelDimer]

Bennett had interest, Martin was guy chasing.

They at least have to feel out Bennet no?  No reason not to

[Goose]

For my buck not an impact hire. Not a strikeout and not a score. My hopes were higher than us and I was led to believe school had similar expectations.

[Pakuni]

You would hope the events of this week would of taught us a thing or two about self-proclaimed insiders.

[mechaghidorah]

So it went from MU fighting tooth and nail for a someone they desperately wanted to "let's get this over with and we'll take this guy, I guess."
