Do you want to miss the NCAA tournament so Wojo gets fired?

[Cheeks]

You know where I stand (a no vote), but when I see people actively wanting him fired (you know who you are) then I have to think some of you want us to miss this year's tournament to help satiate the means to the end.  Making the tournament, in some eyes, just means another year. 

[The Lens]

Absolutely not.  In fact I would see making the tourney with this team (and at this 1-3 point) as a sign that he's progressing as a coach.

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

Lol, its sad this question even needs to be asked.

I'll keep Wojo and his recruiting class.  People that think MU can do considerably better than Wojo are delusional.

That's where I'm kind of at. Yea it's been frustrating.

But who is waiting in the wings that's going to be an automatic upgrade from Wojo? Nobody who wants Wojo fired even bothers to throw out any names.

While I'm not a huge Wojo supporter as I feel he has not lived up to my expectations I do root for the team to succeed.  If this team with Wojo at helm finds it's way into the NCAA's I think that would be sufficient proof for me that Wojo has made huge strides into becoming the coach we all want him to be.

It will be interesting to see who will own the fact that there dislike of Wojo is stronger than their love of MU basketball.

Sometimes it seems like about 75% of the posters here are in that category.  Sad.

It did make my few days away easier.

Pitino was mentioned!

Correction: 75% of posts, 8% of posters.

[MarquetteDano]

Should have been another option that states "Want to miss tourney so I am proven right"

Unfortunate minority of posters here who would rather be right than Marquette win.

[Keithtisbarf]

What a dumb question. Anyone who cares more about the coach being fired than making the NCAA tournament has a screw loose.

I can't imagine a single person here feeling that way. This may be me projecting my own thoughts, but I'm assuming most people here that dislike Wojo only dislike him because they feel like he's not good for MU basketball. To assume any other reason for fans to dislike Wojo or any other coach is just intellectually dishonest.

Few will own up to this.

For the record, I voted no. But I have very little hopes we make the tournament based on the conference start.

haven't you heard? These are the candidates that are the current finalists and would take the job for $1 a year:

Coach K
Tom Izzo
Mark Few
Brad Stevens
Pop
Steve Kerr
Billy Donovan
Hologram Al McGuire

We had so many big names camping out in front of the Al the last time around certainly after firing Wojo we'll have even more.

[Mike Deane's Seat Belt]

The fact that its even discussed should show why hes not the right person for the job. 

If we can't make the tourney with an all american and greatest scorer in marquette history why would we think he is capable of coaching up any incoming class to march madness play level?

This was his year to make hay.   It fell apart because he lost control of the locker room, or never had it in the first place.   
I really hope marquette has the guts to can him if we no show the post season this year. But i seriously doubt they will unless he loses the commits or something crazy happens.

Except they will make the tourney, soooooooo

The 15% of you (so far) that voted for Sherman to burn everything down....how many of you are between ages of 45 and 54?

New study came out today....  https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-01-13/middle-age-misery-peaks-at-age-of-47-2-economist-says

You're in the 16% as of right now.....and stop with your nonsense, looking at your posts you have been anti-Wojo since the start, so don't begin to make it sound like year 5 may hay stuff.

[NickelDimer]

Question; in this scenario do we make the tournament and get humiliated in the first round again?

Irrelevant.  If we lost by 7 points the same exact people would bitch.

Very relevant and without that info I’ll abstain

I think the delusional aspect of this is assuming that people who dislike Wojo as a coach would hope MU b-ball fails in any way.  I think Coach Wojo leaves a lot to be desired and that there are far better all-around coaches out there who would love to be MU's coach.  Now, I would LOVE to be proved wrong on Coach Wojo as I also think Person Wojo is an honorable individual who represents MU well. 

I am certain most people who dislike Wojo as a coach feel the same way.

If we lost by seven points and were actually competitive in the NCAA tournament - a nice change of pace from what we have experienced/seen so far - people would be happy.

Posters giving names for possible hires, even when their team has already fired their coach and are looking, is always awful. That said, the idea that a coach of Wojo's calibur and one that is actually a better all-around coach than Wojo is not available are deluding themselves into accepting mediocrity.

The next coach may not be the answer, but why are you wasting years with a coach most of us already can tell is not the answer? Norland and Parrish talk about this every year on their podcast. Once you know your coach is not the guy, move on. Keeping him cause you are afraid can do more damage long-term than moving on quickly and failing with the next one.

Keeping Wojo for a single recruiting class is the worst pro-Wojo take.
