Coaching Carousel 2017

[Loose Cannon]

I'm not necessarily convinced that he would have left Marquette immediately.  Bad fit at Cal.

But Wojo is a better fit here anyway.

Some Posters are a bad fit for this site.

[Windyplayer]

Why would Bennett leave UVA for Illinois when Barry couldn't get him to Wisconsin?

Cheddar. Clams. Bones. Dead presidents.

That and Gard was fait accompli at UW anyway, no? It's what Bo wanted and Bo got...even with all his off-court problems.

Lorenzo Romar out at Washington.

So, Wojo's got scholie open for Michael Porter, right?

Michael Porter Sr can be top assistant, pay the man, get his son here.

[VegasWarrior77]

Martin to Mizzou appears to be a done deal.

Heard he got $21M over seven years and he turned down Illinois. They only offered $18M for seven years.

That is good coin for Cuonzo. That helps everyone that he sets the baseline that high . Now we need to know what will happen with Archie Miller. Calipari says Archie is the man.

Archie can get big money which should help our cause .

Cuonzo scooped up Michael Porter Sr in like literally 20 minutes...hilarious.

What cause?

The only cause I care about is winning Friday's game.

How does that help "our" cause?

And that's candidate #1 to turn down Illinois. Can they top the 5 that said no last time?

That fanbase is unreal..they don't believe Cuonzo was actually ever offered for one thing, and for another, they think they can get any coach they want.

[shoothoops]

Cuonzo Martin a former name in play at Marquette. He has done well multiple times with 3 year turnaround projects. Good hire. Question is longer term when expectations get raised, will he meet them? I think he can. Lots of $ and resources at Mizzou compared to some other places. Michael Porter Senior the former Mizzou women's assistant.....Michael Porter Jr is obviously elite, and his little brother is a good player too. Interesting to see down the road how this affects Marquette grad Jon Harris the SIUE head coach.  Also interesting regarding Jeremiah Tilmon, the U of Illinois commit from East St. Louis, Martin's hometown, and a guy close to some of the SLU commits.  Martin will recruit.

As for Wojo, Majerus etc...Wojo is Marquette's coach and he is doing well. Enjoy it. Majerus did well at SLU and if not for health problems would have rolled there a long time. And coaches that coach and choose to leave? Crean, Buzz etc...appreciated their contributions to Marquette, no animosity, just indifference. That's all. 

[jesmu84]

Any of those people chanting for Martin over Wojo a few years ago care to chime in on their feelings now?

Which doesn't answer the question.

[tower912]

What did you consider to be 'our' cause?  And who are you referring to when you say 'our'? 

[jesmu84]

Stan, MUFNY, JJJ... etc. Maybe even Magic Dawson, Deonte Burton and others.

[tower912]

I want him to be specific so that there is no doubt about what he is trying to promote. 

[Dr. Blackheart]

#2. Monty Williams already turned them down. On to #3.

Didn't one of our posters recently assure us that Romar was safe?

[tower912]

Just more hubris on his part.    (Sorry Jes84, the line is too good)

[warriorchick]

This is very much speculative, but hearing that Illinois may have a deal with Tony Bennett for just under $5 million a year. I would be surprised if true, but that is a lot of money.

As an Illinois taxpayer, I hope to hell this isn't true.  State universities in Illinois can't even pay its regular bills right now. Some of them are laying off all non-essential staff over Spring Break to save money.

[RJax55]

He is promoting his troll job that he's been doing here for the past 4 years.

[TSmith34, Inc.]

How does that help "our" cause?

He has been pretty obvious that his cause is having a coach other than Wojo.

Or maybe Gus forgot what team's board he was posting on.

Either way, he won't answer.
