Maybe Wojo is a closet bad boy and has been pining for a place to let his hair down.

Get the hire process rolling.

I laughed out loud on that one.

I dunno bout wojo being in Vegas today.  My son swears he saw him pass him by around mequon road and 43.  Caddy Escalade with MU plates and a wojo looking dude at the helm.  I didn't think he'd be able to take in solids yet, much less drive

This from the seton hall board-why the seton hall board though?  As opposed to say, the providence or st johnnies?

"Wojo has been getting killed for awhile by the MU fans. Muscoop looks like our board after MU 2015. 1st round bounce after taking so long to get to the ncaa's was a rough one. They have some studs coming in next year. If the new coach can keep the current team, he will look like a genius, as wojo underachieved."

[MU Fan in Connecticut]

Enjoyed catching up after taking a couple days to chillax. This has been quite a thread.

When a coach leaves us -- shows no loyalty -- Scoopers are spurned and ticked off. We give him clever nicknames, argue whether he was better or worse than the other guy who was disloyal to us, etc. We bemoan the fact that we are a "stepping stone" job.

When a coach gradually builds our program to the point that in Years 3-5 he goes NCAA-NIT-NCAA ... goes 23-4 and earns a top-10 ranking ... does it all without a sniff of legal or NCAA troubles ... is a great public ambassador for the school ... and coaches an exciting team that draws huge crowds to an NBA arena ... well, dozens (maybe hundreds?) of Scoopers want to fire him after a bad 3-week stretch that "proved" he can't coach.

That's what's known as "passion" or being "competitive," not disloyalty.

Yep, I can see why established head coaches would be lining up for this job.

Now, let's take a look at Wojo's "competition" for the job 5 years ago:

1. Shaka: 67-66 in 4 seasons at Texas. 0 NCAA wins. 3 straight seasons with losing conference record. Got (and deserved) credit for a scintillating Final Four run in 2011, but results have indisputably been disappointing ever since -- not just trending downward but crashing hard at Texas. Nevertheless, some Scoopers "know" he is a better coach than Wojo.

2. Howland: 4th year at Mississippi State. Finally got to the NCAAs in Year 4, losing in the first round to a 12-seed -- just as Marquette did, albeit one without a top-3 NBA lottery pick. Dogged by major question marks about how he "conducted business" at UCLA, which is why he was begging anybody who would take him for a job.

3. Martin: 3 years at Cal, 1 NCAA appearance (a loss), then bolted for Mizzou. Clearly would have used Marquette as a stepping-stone school. In 2 years at Mizzou, 35-30, including 15-17 in this, his second season.

4. Manning: Not sure we ever considered him, but many Scoopers said they wish we would have. An unmitigated disaster at Wake Forest: 65-93  in 5 years, 4 losing seasons, and 11-20 in each of the last 2 years. Most Wake fans were stunned to hear he's being brought back for a 6th season.

But yeah, Wojo has to be fired because apparently K, Cal, Roy and Self will be lining up for our job this time. Or maybe the savior will be the Buffalo guy whose rump Wojo beat by 1,000 points back in December (thanks mostly to the guard we'll be better off without, of course).

Love this thread, especially after Smuggles was given a Scoopcation for attacking a guy who's been dead for years. Great stuff.

I was telling alum friends of mine who were all in on fire Wojo that you don't fire 24 win coaches. 

Wojo gets another shot next year and if we miss the NCAA s or we flame out then it's definitely time to have the fire Wojo discussion.  My other team is the New York Yankees and they used to fire winning coaches and even they are more measured now.  Girardi got 10 years and only one world series.  The horror!

driving to the airport.

Good point. I'll ask him which direction he was going and what time

Doc,  the stories I could/will tell you one day about flyin him.  There's an Amtrak available I hear?

[Da 'Lanche]

So, I have no idea if Wojo is interviewing at unlv or not....just the rumor would not surprise me as I have heard from (my view) reliable sources that he is pushing for an extension for a variety of reasons.   Interviewing or the threat thereof helps in that endeavor for any college coach.   I have also heard the higher ups in Admin not so thrilled with giving an extension at this point.  Interesting times.   I would guess next year is a yay or nay type decision year on Wojo.

[HutchwasClutch]

UNLV might be the one school dumb enough to solve our problem, or at least half of it, for us by hiring him.

Dumb enough and rich enough....gruden and Wojo in the same town????   There is a contrast in styles....just like the gentlemen's clubs  in that lovely sinful city

[rocket surgeon]

My son said it was wojo for sure and he was going south and exited at mequon road.  He said the car looked exactly like buzz' car, official MU plates, but as black.  Buzz drove a white Escalade

[Herman Cain]

I have been hoping someone will hire Wojo away. We pocket the buyout and then hire Stan.

Yo, forever, time for meat summit III.  Between pilot and dunks, we're gonna need a sound proof conference room.  🤷🏼‍♂️🙉

[Goose]

Rocket
Don't mention Meat Summit or rocky might get angry. He does not like the Summit boys taking over threads. He prefers wades&Co sharing their pearls of wisdom.

[Jon]

I am not in the fire Wojo camp.   But I will be happy when he leaves.

For the Civil War buffs he is George McClellan.  Knows how to build an army but doesn't know how to use it.

Admin vs Operator

I'll take hairy, smelly, knuckle-draggin' Operator every time.

Wojo gives good PR. I prefer results.
