Well, it IS the hub of the midwest. Where else would he even think of making the announcement from?

We'll, I believe the Fort Wayne Holiday Inn conference center was booked. So.

According to posters here...a news station reporter reported Wojo is their guy..

Nothing said on  Lane Casadonte twitter page. Maybe he said it on their newscast.

Don't bring common sense into this.  For some reason, some people think a new coach will be like Samantha Stevens wiggling her nose.

Mr. Curry called to say it was Samantha StePHens.

This is the wildest, most fun, Coaching Carousel Dominoes theory I've heard in a long time:
Buzz Williams to Texas A&M
Kevin Willard to Virginia Tech
Tim Cluess to Seton Hall
Jared Grasso to Iona.

Nope.

Doesn't fit the Scoop rumor trajectory.

Yes that's what they were saying, it was on the newscast.

Great carp fishing this time of the year.

If Va Tech is looking for a coach when they have a coach, then MU should have a short list of candidates just in case.  My guess is that they do already.  Never want to be caught with your pants down at this time of year.

I wouldn't worry.  Take your time.  If someone wants the job bad enough, they'll wait.  If not, you promote an assistant keep building what has been started.

[SERocks]

Again, I would assert the best evidence that Wojo is not going anywhere is to ask why would someone want him?  His accomplishments as a coach are a dime a dozen out there.   Not exactly a hot coaching hire.   I would be surprised if anyone is interested at this juncture.

[Warrior of Law]

Good point.  It would likely be a matter of Wojo running away from something than being attracted to something better.

I tend to agree your post. I still believe it is a non story.

A small but vocal sect of Marquette fans are the only ones who would not view Wojo as a solid candidate for the VT job.

That being said, while I'm sure that Wojo is on VT's wishlist, that wish is not going to come true.

I really have been trying hard to find any info that might indicate this is a real story and completely striking out. One person I checked with today, actually laughed when I asked about the rumor.

This would be the biggest secret in MU ball history if he is a real candidate. I do not believe Wojo is viable candidate for any other job than MU at this point of his career.

I think this is a home run post, as usual from Ted...IF Wojo left right now, you promote Stan for next year and after that, do a full blown search(or keep Stan if he does good enough). There may be better candidates available next year...no need to rush it, just get the right guy

Not saying it's real...who knows what to believe on the internet, but there are VT insiders saying it's a possibility.

You lost me with the hire Stan for a year and then do full blown search. Trust me, that’s not big time thinking.

1st paragraph, yep.

2nd paragraph, I don't think so. There's a reason these rumors exist, likely because he is on VT's wishlist to replace Buzz.

Not good.

I know it's not...I have plenty of names I would pursue right now if it happened, but I'm not putting them here on the board because of the small time thinking by most posters here and all the "get real" posts I would get in response.

I hear voices in my head all the time to Ziggy, no one wants to know what mine say.

So...is Wojo gone or staying?

[NickelDimer]

We’re really going to be VPIs developmental league for coaches?! Wow. I don’t really even care about losing Wojo but that would be very eye opening

What?! Give the job to an assistant coach?? Guru would be pissed if he heard that idea! Small time thinking for sure. We can easily get a major p6 head coach and he would bring in recruits/transfers better than our roster. Jeez.

An assistant??!
