Poll:Let’s stop beating around the bush
« on: March 24, 2019, 06:43:15 PM »
Too much beating around the bush and hypothetical around the the Wojo retention issue.

If it was your decision should MU fire Wojo now or retain him.

Slurpers and Haters here is the chance to express your view.

Herman, enjoy your stuff.  You have said you want Wojo gone, Stan to take over. You also said the other day Wojo throws kids under the bus.  You may be right, but are there examples of this?

Nsh... after all he has the program trending upward, as shown by the stretch run. And he should not be fired, because he runs a clean program, and because his first 5 years at MU was better than Coach ks and Wrights. And because we would have to go  through another rebuild. Snd because we are deathly afraid that we could not find another good coach because nobody would come after firing a 5 seed. And because Wojo has the Duke pedigree. And because we will be real good next year.
And because our resources are not good enough to attract a big time guy. For all these reasons and many more we should retain mediocrity and really, really hope that we will dance deep next year.

Really?  Wasn't Herman the guy that made up BS about a recruiting visit and then got called out by Big Daddy?  I guess you guys just run in the same circles.

I would think throwing someone under the bus, which is normally a public thing, would be easy to quantify.  I may have missed it and that is why I am asking.

Not happy, but I think Marcus was a bit more injured than we know down the stretch, so a reprieve.

Ners/Floorslapper has written many treatises on the bus subject .  I would collegiality refer you to those for more detail. To save time I will stipulate in advance that I fully agree with those treatises.

I just want to be on record as voting to keep Wojo.

I also think the posters here asking for his firing are hurting recruiting.

What the hell has Stan done? I have no idea on the love affair some on here have about him. If he was a top guy, he would be getting courted by decent programs.

I honestly don't recall them, but not sure Ners would be my go to for information on MU's current team situation....but he can dunk the crap out of a ball in high school I hear.

Good recruiter, has a great background story coming over from Liberia.  Former player, wonderful communicator.  I like Stan a lot, but would be hesitant to give the reigns to him. You bring up a good point, but he was mentioned for Fresno State job last year and perhaps others?

Others said that, along with Sam’s hip and the true more significant injury reports would come out after season.  Still waiting.

You’re in on Tony Bennett, Kelvin Sampson, and...I forget who the third guy on the list was.

Maybe you should give up if that’s who you start your list at. Those guys will never be the coach of Marquette.

I voted keep.

That said, I have major concerns on Wojo and I am pessimistic he will do anything of note here. I'm sure others that voted that way share similar doubts.

Stan might end up being a fine option. I'd rather see him prove it in the Mountain West, MVC, or anywhere else first. I know Buzz was Crean's assistant, but that was a unique situation & he wasn't the first choice anyway.

Fair and reasoned and agree.

I also voted keep, as long as trajectory is north then I am good, but doesn’t mean he is locked in forever.  For those that want him gone, I need a more solid plan than simply “I deserve better and he needs to go because I have season tickets”.  Who are you hiring and why are they coming here, why will they do better.  Sell me on it.
