End of season contract extension for wojo?

[Dr. Blackheart]

Still sends a bad message to recruits.  Coaches recruiting against him will use this.  Gard apparently uses this tactic frequently.  "Marquette's AD doesn't even have enough faith in Wojo to extend his contract, you don't know for sure that you'll be playing for him".  Bottom line, you still extend it, once again how many coaches actually see out the entirety of their contract?

Season you're  playing plus 3. MU will reup him in the off-season, though.  Next year's team will be dynamite.

Worst coach in the history of mankind. Fire him before he goes to bed tonight.

I'm on board with Wojo, no issues with extending him, especially with how he runs this program. Teams go through rough patches. He's not Mullin.

That said, extend him but lower the buyout significantly. Maybe one year's pay. So, you extend but also have flexibility.

MU82, You're absolutely correct!

[Its DJOver]

Hear me out.  In years 1, 2, 3 the 3 year rolling idea works, because Wojo is still selling a vision.  If he's still on the annual whatever year it is +3 in years 6, 7 and onward, yea you can technically say that you'll be around for the entirety of a players career, but it still sends a message of the school not trusting Wojo, which other coaches will start to exploit.  You give him a 2-3 year extension, not just so that he can say that he'll be around, but to ensure high schoolers that he's building a program.  And in end end, it probably won't matter, I've asked twice now and I'll ask again, how many coaches actually see out the entirety of their contract?

Wojo is more likely to get poached by Duke than fired.

If MU is a player at the highest levels of D1 basketball, you extend him and not worry about the buy out.  They have the money if they need it.  Worrying about buy outs are what the UWMs of the world do.

The only thing Wojo is selling is pipe dreams!

Been waiting all season to come back eh?

[curbina]

TAMU Eagle, I'm not back until Wojo is gone. Thank you for your kind comments.

[Mr. Sand-Knit]

I think he should absolutely be extended.  Yes a thoroughly frustrating 3 game losing streak but hes had a top 15 team for most of the season and has 2 non contributing seniors.
The only mistake i have seen from Wojo is attempting to make Markus into a PG.  I think it has hurt his ability to recruit other PGs.  Unfortunately his backup plan, in Chartouney, was  just was an absolute failure. To the point we need to play Sacar or Sam as our backup PG.  His experiment with Markus is a failure and he did not have an option B.  Ok he made a mistake.  Some will say he should have seen this coming.  I thought Markus as a PG was maddening last year. 
Apart from this mistakrs at PG i think Wojo has done a great job in getting this program back.  Next year we will have some PG options an Markus needs to be a shooter or at least not the primary ball handler.  All things considered give him a 4-5 yr extension and keep the upward rise going.

[wadesworld]

Yes.

See ya!

I don't think he had much choice. If anything, I think it was just poor roster construction. A lot of whiffs on in recruiting and bad planning imo.

Yes agree, i also think that potential recruits seeing a 5'11" freshman that was high scoring n  that led the nation in 3 pt fg% as the heir apparent PG.  Whether that was the case or not it became the case with our inability to land a true.  Whether Wojo couldnt sign a PG or he had designs on Markus being our PG and simply misjudged we will never really know. 

[Silkk the Shaka]

Yes, this should and will happen.

Maybe, but they were stuck with Buzz until he left because of his buy out. You give yourself flexibility, especially when a new coach would cost $2 million a year or so.

[DoctorV]

Yes absolutely.

I just can't decide if I want MU to stretch to the 300M guaranteed mark. In my heart I know that's what it'll take, but my mind says gotta make the last few years team options

LOL! I'm in favor of an extension but this statement is silly and untrue.

[MUMonster03]

Would you all of have fired a guy with an overall record of 85-65, Conference record of 28-42, 2 NCAA's (1 Win), and 1 NIT appearance after 5 years?

Wojo is 96-65, 43-46, 2 NCAA's (0 wins yet), and 1 NIT appearance.

By the way guy one was National Runner-Up in year 6.

[Aircraftcarrier]

His coaching is fine.The problem is roster construction.Got caught short on guards who can handle.Yes that is on him but with Koby and hopefully Torrence next year that should be corrected.

[tower912]

Barring some unforeseen calamitous event, there is zero chance that Wojo is fired any time soon.    There is a chance, however small,  that Duke tries to grab him when K retires.    Ergo, the statement is completely true.     

[4everwarriors]

Wojo is more likely to get poached by Duke than fired.

Y wood Duke want him. Dey kan due bedder, hey?

[tower912]

Because Duke is likely going to want a coach from the K tree.    Because Brey isn't coming, Snyder has too much baggage, and Wojo is more successful than Collins.
