Will Wojo be leaving next year

If we get a good run in the tourney, and get to a sweet sixteen, will he stay loyal to MU, or take the first attractive offer that may come in?   Who knows?   But first let’s see a MU do well next year.  Tall order.

[Herman Cain]

He will take the first decent Job available without question.

[connie]

I am coming to accept that the administration's goals for the program are not the same as mine.  1% chance he leaves involuntarily.

[dgies9156]

Given what we have today, post Brothers Hauser, Wojo's future is dependent on there things:

1) How well we recruit for the incoming 2020-2021 class;
2) Whether we make the NCAA; and,
3) How deep we go.

It's hard to handicap each of these factors but if we're a dud on (1), we'll know by late September and the coaching seats will be at 1000 Kelvin. If anything, this is probably the key because if we don't recruit well, the reload isn't going to happen and with Markus gone, we'll be back to three or four years ago.

If we make the NCAA and lay an egg as we did this past year and (1) is sub-par, I doubt he will be around much past April 1st. If we make the NIT, we better have a class of Burger Boys, or else!

On the other hand, if our recruiting class is deep and we got to the Sweet 16 or deeper, Wojo's a lifer!

This question should be re-asked about October 15th.

he already has a more than decent job.

Consider the source.  MUFINY wants Wojo out, and he's made no secret of it.

Based on how much he was looking this offseason, I think this is probably accurate.

I think he is being sarcastic.

While others were interested in him, I don't think the interest was mutual.

Right, and if he had a foot out the door, he probably just bolts.

[wadesworld]

Consider the source.  MUFINY wants Wojo out, and he's made no secret of it.

But he walks along with recruits on their official visits, so I don't know why he wouldn't be sitting next to Wojo in his office when Wojo is on LinkedIn searching for Virginia Tech basketball coaching jobs as well.

I trust the source.

[mu_hilltopper]

This is very true.  But Wojo needs to reset his coaching clock.

[NickelDimer]

I said well before the Hausers transfer that next year will be Wojo’s last because I don’t believe in him as a head coach. Guess that means I’m rooting for him to fail!

Well said

[D'Lo Brown]

I voted no, but still curious on some reasoned thoughts that others might have.

When would be the "best" time for a coaching transition? Would we be better off to have a transition, say, a year after a big recruiting class as opposed to a year where we don't have many big recruits coming in? When our top players are younger, or older?

I'm curious because our recruiting class for this year is fine, but next year is looking to be potentially special (for the sake of this argument let's just say it's a special group). Perhaps we would be better off getting those kids into the system for a year and maybe they'd be more apt to stick around? If we transitioned prior to them arriving on campus they would almost certainly open their recruiting back up, I'd think, but maybe that isn't something we should concern ourselves with.

[Herman Cain]

was it him looking or people looking at him?

People looked at him pre Hausergate. Now post the event he faces an uncertain recruiting environment .

MU is going to be very good next year . His stock will be up , so if 2020 recruiting is a dudd, I expect he would pull a Buzz and leave for the first available big money job.

College coaching is a bit like the NBA where the second contract is what your looking for. Wojo could be in a position to get a 6 year deal worth good money next year. If Wojo stays too long his second contract could be down a level to something like A-10. It is a dollars and cents thing. I wouldn’t be surprised if Buzz is providing consultative services to Wojo on this matter, as he has been nothing short of brilliant in his own movements .

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Anything is possible, but I do believe that Wojo will be here until he is either fired or a clearly better job comes open. Maybe I'm misremembering but my impression of the K coaching tree is that once they get to a high major job, they don't jump to other high major jobs. Off the top of my head the only one who has been a head coach at multiple high majors is Jeff Capel, and he was fired from his first high major job due to NCAA investigations. I get the feeling that waiting for the right job and patiently building a program is something that K drills into his assistants. Just my two cents.

Marquette or Duke.   Those are the two options.    Powers that be are still in his corner.     It does not matter what is being howled about on scoop.

I'll take the field if the bet is for 3 years.
