Speaking of coaching changes, would any decent school hire another Coach K assistant ever again? These guys never succeed, anywhere.

Coach K must have his assistants running for Starbucks and picking up his dry cleaning; they can't be so clueless if they were actually involved with the basketball program.

Hot take but K hasn’t been that great of a basketball coach in several years. His deep run teams have been consistently absolutely loaded with talent that a monkey could coach.

Keep spamming this. Also your signature picture is too small I cant see it. Belien will be 68 next year. With the coaching change I'd assume we would be utter trash next year and probably not good in year 2. So john would be 70 in the first year most would start to expect success? What is the long term picture you see?? Is the guy gonna coach till hes 80? How much did he make with the cavs.? Hes not coming to a smallish private school to rebuild marquette basketball. Pull your head out of your ass. What do you see that makes this sound at all realistic
What he sees is the alternative of 6 more years of Wojo wonders. Duke is in need of a janitor to shine Ks shoes.

First person to say Brian Wardle should be euthanized.
Wardle would be an upgrade over Wojo.

Thanks for starting the thread keefe

First - are there any schools that will take Wojo off our hands?

Second - who are realistic candidates?  Given Wojo can’t succeed here - would TJO or any else really want to come here ?

First - I think there are several P5 schools who are consistent bottom feeders. I could see any of them taking a flyer on a guy like Wojo - Duke pedigree, HC experience at MU. If nothing else, it can't be any worse than what their recent history has been. (Think: Vandy, Wazzou, Ol Miss, BC, et al)

Second - I think Beilein secures the incoming class and builds a winner immediately.

Some people cite Beilein's personal net worth or age as mitigants; what people who have not made it don't understand is that it's not the money but being in the hunt. And age is relative.

I have a colleague who was a GE corporate officer. He lives in a chateau in the Loire Valley. He has secured multi-generational wealth for his family and could kick back without a care in the world. But he wants in. The thought of retirement is anathema to his character and spirit.

Money isn't what drives successful individuals. It is the hunt and the kill.

I don't know Beilein but I know people at the top of their profession and the thought of not doing is hateful.

My only fear is that a John Beilein will get a lot of attention. I hope he sees Marquette as a desirable platform to continue performing at the highest possible level.

Hell, if we’re gonna start over with a guy as old as Beilein, we might as well go after Hologram Al or Hologram Rick.

Do you think Jim Calhoun would be interested. He’s proven himself as a two time program builder!

Has St. Joseph's in the Div-III tournament in only their second year of existence ever as a program.

Looking like the cupboard is pretty bare.  Shuckssssssssss.
Might have to live with another year of Wojo and a top 10 recruiting class.
Wish you could see my pouty face.

What gives you any hope he’d be able to do any better with this class than he has in the past 6 years.

What good does a top 10 recruiting class do if he can't Coach them up properly?? Although, I have always said, he needs the type of recruiting classes where he can essentially just roll the ball out and tell them to go play so it covers his deficiencies.

Buddies, Cream was hired because of his recruiting.  Buzz had very very little head coaching experience and was hired based on Creams recommendation and keeping the current team in tack.  I did not follow MU BB much in the 80s but from my take, past hires  by MU based only on coaching was a complete disaster after Majerus.

Roger that. Thanks.

Is the TJO thirst a blend of "he's from Milwaukee" and "he's won elsewhere as a HC?" Or is there something else that makes people think he's available / interested in coming to MU (despite there being the tiny technicality of there being no job opening here yet)?

Multiple people I trust have said that Marquette has always been his dream gig.  He went to Thomas More and have had multiple family members involved with the school.  Not sure if that's still the case but there is very much an affinity for Marquette.

He had a reputation as being a great recruiting assistant when he was at Iowa State.  Basically established the WI pipeline down there and helped create "Marquette West".

+1

He's had success recruiting the areas we have recruited, is well known and respected in the state, and has the local ties. On paper, he ticks the boxes. Seems to be a good recruiter, developer of talent, and game coach. But like all coaching possibilities, no one is a guarantee.
