I'm of a similar mind. Unless Cronin wants to jump to a better conference, or they overwhelm someone with $, I think the Wofford/UNCG tier is where their next guy will come from.

Ditto.  Buzz was a great hire for them, but I think history will prove that to be an outlier.  That's not to say they won't get a good coach and continue doing well, but I'd be surprised if they attract a HC from a team that is in the top half of any major conference.

[NickelDimer]

Yeah that’s probably more accurate

[MUfan12]

But, if that makes some believe other programs are chasing Wojo, enjoy.

Think it's the other way around.

Did not see Goodman reporting that. Saw a couple of other reports and no mention of Wojo anywhere.

I may have overstated. Goodman threw his name out as someone VT may target. Not confirmed interest.

No program is currently courting Wojo.

Of course, you don't actually know this.

There are very few secrets in college ball. Again, if you believe otherwise, go for it.

Sorry, Goose

I’m with the campus grocer on this one. That I don’t have proof kind of makes my point.

Yep.  Wojo’s supporters on this board are trying to make you believe otherwise, because when Marquette coaches are successful, they’re pursued by high major schools with job openings.  This has not happened for Wojo.

Shows that “23-4” and “Wright voted for Wojo as BE COY” and “top ten for a few weeks” and “objectively trending upward” and “potentially great 2020 recruiting class” don’t mean a hill of beans to anyone not on this message board.

Again, you don't know that.  He could have been called and he told them "no."  I know you Wojo detractors think he sucks and no one could possibly want him, but if a school like VT got him, it would be considered a coup.  Get some perspective.

Right, for a school and program like Va Tech Wojo would be a coup...no doubt about that. For a program like Marquette?? Not so much.

Well he's here right now. They don't have to get him from anywhere.

Fake News.

If you amended your last sentence to “don’t mean a hill of beans to anyone responsible for hiring a new head coach” even then it would be doubtful. As it stands it is patently false.

I have a friend who actually has an NCAA ring. His school recently hired an up and coming coach. You had better tell him that his alma mater’s boosters had never put Wojo’s name on a wish list.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Again, if VT managed to hire Wojo, it would be universally praised (other than the vocal minority on scoop) as a great hire for them.

That being said, I doubt we get to test the theory this season.

The key part of your sentence is bolded...a great hire for THEM. For what MU's standards SHOULD be...he is so so.

Maybe, maybe not.  Considering he’s had zero postseason success in five years as a head coach, I don’t think anyone would be calling it a home run hire.  But we’re each entitled to our opinion of what people would say.

Amen to you and auburnMarquette who actually have perspective, facts, metrics, etc...
...all of which you carefully mine and then refine into a finished product that is published on your own
respected blog sites...unlike the foot-stomping, reactionary gobbledygook the vocal minority spews here.

I cannot agree with auburnMarquette more when he admonishes that minority to “be careful what you wish for.”

[Oregon Warrior]

I’m not advocating for him to stay or go but If he’s a great coach, why hasn’t the administration offered him an extension?

The lack of an extension seems to indicate the administration isn’t completely sold.

Or it just means they are afraid of vocal minorities with money.

Hope that’s not the case, lest I refer you to the wisdom posted here earlier by auburnMarquette.

Look, believe it or not...I hope he absolutely kills it next year...that's the truth. With what he has coming back...there should be no more excuses. However, I am skeptical...because of how they finished this year, his lack of creativity offensively or defensively, and the fact that his legitimate top 10 team needed to win 1 game of 4 to win the BE title and couldn't do it. That's concerning...very concerning. What's even more concerning is the fact that he either didn't know how to fix their slide, or didn't know what caused it.

I suspect you'd have no idea whether the administration has offered him an extension.
That said, if MU announces an extension, will that make him a great coach?

Ya. But you want to promote an assistant if he goes. Which is pretty mid-major/low standards/medocrity mindset.

So I'm not sure about your perspective
