The Unthinkable & you're the BOT.

I realize option 3 would be a bit contingent on NCAA success (if we win a NC of course we'd give a contract extension). I guess the implicit assumption is that if we lose the next two we're probably losing our first round NCAA game.

Mark Attanasio ain’t our AD, and Wojo ain’t Ned Yost circa 2008.  Even if we lose out, Wojo won’t be fired.  But regardless of what happens, I think he’ll try to leave.

I do not think Wojo is getting fired no matter how the season ends, but I do think he will sniff around for a new gig. Too many unhappy people around Marquette's basketball program for a variety of reasons and that very likely includes Wojo. I think it's 50/50 that he stays at Marquette, even with the incoming class that he has.

18,000 people showed up for his last game and all reports are that everyone at the Al and Zilber love Wojo.  Why would he leave that?

1SE, you need to work on your poll options. You always leave out the correct answer. In this case it's: "Do nothing. Revisit after next season."

Hey - everyone's a critic. I guess that was redeem with March Success but that's only because in my mind there is no way anyone would keep him on after two epic end of seasons collapses if he loses out including BET and NCAA.

Wojo is not on the "hot seat" according to any national reports.  If he were to leave, it would be for a bottom-feeder ACC/SEC team that sees the Duke connection and making the NCAA 3 of 4 years at MU. Wake Forest, Vanderbilt, come to mind.

The fact is that Wojo will not be a hot candidate for other jobs unless he tears it up in the BE or NCAA, which is doubtful.  At the same time, he's likely the best person that MU can get, too.  He's just a hard guy to have any confidence in.

The guy got booed during his pre-game introduction.

He's human. It would be smart business to listen to offers.

I do not think our fans are entitled after this poll.  In my opinion some lack intelligence.  Option one is proof case.

BOT members only get involved during searches.

Despite the cult of Stan here, if Wojo leaves (and it would be on his own accord) MU will pursue a current head coach.

As an aside here - this is not a comment on Wojo one way or the other - what is Stan's readiness for an HC position at D1 level?  He's charismatic and a hell of a recruiter.  I have little knowledge of him otherwise.

This is correct.  At least 95% of the ticket-buying fans at the game Saturday DID NOT BOO WOJO.  There are always a few loudmouth jerk malcontents, and if you're going to listen to them, then you've got issues.

One would expect that those who have the opinion that our team is poorly coached would assign at least some of the blame to the HC's right-hand-man.

No because we are told "he doesn't get to make the ultimate decision."  Which is very similar to the "he doesn't get enough run" excuse used by the same people when the players they like don't play enough.

During intros on Saturday, the video board cut to the student section unusually quick after Wojo was announced, so there were actually more students booing the student section than there was booing Wojo.
Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny.  Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.
