Coaching Carousel 2017

It's Missouri, it's Missouri!

What about Isaac Chew in the Missouri hunt?

Wojo spent 15 years as an assistant under K.   He theoretically had other head coaching opportunities during that tenure.   He went for Marquette.   In theory, the environment is similar in terms of school size (Duke bigger but not huge), basketball tradition, etc.   It is possible Wojo can find a home  here and stiick.

[GoldenWarrior11]

I believe, and someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but the only other head coaching job he was actually offered (and turned down) was from Dayton in 2011 after Brian Gregory left (and they ultimately hired Archie Miller).

That we know about....how many times were feelers put out and were dismissed out of hand?

Clearly a good fit for our Anybody but Dayton culture.

[MU Fan in Connecticut]

Tony Benford fired.  North Texas waited 5 years to judge; no winning seasons.

Tony Benford to Mizzou.

[Loose Cannon]

I hope Wojo becomes our Jay Wright and once successful knows what a great gig he has.

I think Wojo  know's what a great MU is, that why he was selective when applying.

In fact, he has said exactly that.

Don't mess with happy

[MUBigDance]

This shows you people will think of Wojo.  Its ridiculous absolutely.

but when the not so ridiculous team comes calling in a few years...we have to hope he likes Marquette and Milwaukee.

The thread that speculates on Duke was way premature...BUT....one day it won't be...one day K will retire...Wojo by virtue of being one of the seasoned successful D1/NBA Duke Alumni coaches...makes him a candidate.

All premature...lets do a couple F4's!

Just accept it: if Duke comes calling, Wojo is gone.  And rightfully so; he'd be insane to turn it down.  I love Marquette basketball, and think it can be a real powerhouse, but what Coach K has going at Duke is too sweet a gig. 

But in that scenario, Marquette will still have gotten what it needed out of the relationship - sustained success after the dumpster fire that Brent left.

Personally, I'm not worried about Wojo getting the Duke job when K retires. I am closer to worried (but still not worried) about him taking the Duke job when the guy after K gets fired.

I'm guessing, he will not immediately follow Coach K but maybe after that successor.  I'm thinking he has a 10 year window at MU.l

This.  No way Duke hands it over to Wojo unless get goes to a couple final fours in the next few years.  Coach K has to be done relatively soon, I would think. 

[Spotcheck Billy]

Right now I'd put money on Jeff Capel following Coach K.

That's the right answer.  The guy who follows Coach K has about a 1% of retiring there.  With the ACC as competitive as it is now even Coach K is having a hard time dominating they way he used to.  The next guy will be compared to all those conference championships, 3 final 4s in 4 years, 5 national championships.  Set up to fail.  "Never follow a legend.  Be the guy who follows the guy who followed the legend"  But that is a good 7+ years away.  If Wojo is at MU so he can leave in 7 years I'll have enjoyed the ride and he will be the longest tenured coach at MU since AL.   

[Knight Commission]

QuinnSnyder chose Mizzou over Marquette.  He was a hotter coach than Crean. If memory serves me correctly Cords called Snyder directly when Duke was in the tourney and the call/discussion was overheard. Snyder acknowledged he was being courted by MU.

Marquette makes the coach more than the coach makes the program. Let us not forget.

[brandx]

Wojo has as much chance of going to Missouri as I do to have a wonderful sexual experience with Bo Derek.

Because she's above your pay grade? Or because she is in her 60s?

[brandx]

If Missouri has any brain at all, they hire Greg Marshall.

[avid1010]

When Buzz to Oklahoma surfaced, folks felt confident in that Tony was in the wings for MU. A great assistant does not always equate to a good head coach.

Stop it....we all agree that Stan is better than Wojo.

[Lennys Tap]

If Missouri has any brain at all, they hire Greg Marshall.

He's certainly a logical candidate, but hasn't he turned down better jobs than Mizzou?

[Oldgym]

He's certainly a logical candidate, but hasn't he turned down better jobs than Mizzou?

He likely has, and I would expect better jobs than Mizzou to open up.  Like Indiana.  I would think any MVC coach would have to listen to them.

In theory, Duke/UNC/Cuse/Louisville/Indiana will all open in the next five-ish years.
