Interim Coach Stan Johnson

[WhiteTrash]

Yes. He will be a great head coach because of what they show on TV during timeouts.

🙄🙄🙄

I agree but you have to admit, Wojo's timeouts on TV have been telling of his coaching ability. 

[🏀]

Really hoping the team loses the bid at this point its just beating a dead horse out there.  Time to have mercy and end the season with some dignity

Hit eject.

[pbiflyer]

After hearing Stan in the timeouts in each of the last two games, I'm even more convinced he is 100% NOT the problem, and 100% a great and viable solution.

The contrast of content/coaching between he and Wojo in those segments was illuminating AF.

I think the Hauser family would disagree with your assessment.

Dave Hauser and his opinions can get the unnatural carnal knowledge out of here.

LMAO.  Pure fiction.  But go ahead, and share with all of us what you've heard...

Stan Johnson has shown to be a good recruiter. The fact that someone has not tried to hire him as a head coach should probably tell you something.

Well Fluff - I said 10 games into Buzz's tenure that he'd likely take us to Elite 8s/Final Fours if he stayed here 10 years....and some here (perhaps you were in that camp), ridiculed me.

I also told this board 7 games into Wojo's tenure that he didn't have it...and got banned here multiple times over for sounding the alarm.

As it relates to Stan?  Sure..you can ridicule these in the huddle segments..but..if what we hear out of Wojo is his best (which it should be during games), it is embarrassing - particularly when measured against Stan's messaging.  Stan is much more on point, coherent, and astute in his messaging.

Stan would retain all the recruits, not command a massive salary, provide continuity, and is a good recruiter.  No reason to not give him a 3-4 year deal to see what he can do.

Yep. Stan or Wojo or both will not be here next year. My money is on Stan.

Slight correction: you got banned multiple times because you're a tool.

Stan might be a good coach. I have no idea. But I know enough not to base my opinion on how he conducts televised huddles. Just like I wouldn't compare a player to Magic Johnson based on their performance versus Grambling.

[BCHoopster]

Stan makes a nice salary at MU. Good recruiter, maybe, maybe not. Good coach, not sure. No big program is going to risk hiring him. Only chance is if Wojo leaves, but who is hiring him? Salary is pretty nice at MU

[Warrior1969]

I think Wojo quits.  Assuming he is gone isn't Stan the best we are going to do?  Keep the recruits etc give him a couple years.  No chance in hell Mu actually hires an experienced coach.

Brian wardle time?

Look.  You can call me a tool...don't really care.  Truth of the matter is, is that I was right about Buzz, right about Larry Williams de-railing Buzz/the program (while before it came to light - you called me a tin-foil hat guy), and right about Wojo not having it.

Feel free to continue on with the "funny" joke about Magic Dawson.  Saying someone made passes that were Magic Johnson-esque, isn't saying he's Magic Johnson.  Funny the guy is good enough to make the G-League 3 years in a row.  But hey...no doubt Derrick Wilson was a better option.

As for Stan - my perception is based on his being our best recruiter, interviews I've seen, and the from the recent in the huddle segments.  Of course you will never know what an assistant can be until he becomes a head coach.  Duh.  But...it is pretty f'in easy to see Stan is sharper and far more charismatic.

[Stretchdeltsig]

Who recruited Garcia, Osa and Lewis?  If Stan, he's the new head coach. Let's give him a chance and keep the recruits.

You mean he like quits, stays at home to complete some hobbies and lose millions, or resigns to take another position?

So, based on your previous post and this one... Are you saying Stan is part of the problem and he's going to leave? (Either because he wants out or because Wojo is thinks he's a problem)

Stan did recruit these guys...

They don't fit together...

There's a lot to be said there.

They don't fit together because the head coach has major limitations.  There is only so much an assistant can do.  You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink applies.

Killings for Lewis.  Stan for a Osa and more of the crew for Garcia.  Tread lightly here.

[f/k/a humanlung]

Team is a complete disaster. Kinda feel bad for Howard, what a crap way to end. Has all these scoring records, but lack of winning throughout his career, I don't think he will ever be considered an all time MU great. After the last few games, is he even an All America? The team coaching is just so bad....

FIFY

Clueless per usual.

There is zero chance he quits.

[HutchwasClutch]

Wow, is this how badly the Wojo era has devalued perception of this program?? 

It hasn't for me. This program can and should be very strong year in and year out. Find the right guy. They're out there.  Scholl's job to figure it out and start cleaning up this mess

[Warrior1969]

You think there is ZERO chance he leaves and takes another job?

[MikeDeanesDarkGlasses]

Clueless per usual.

Coming from the guy who carries Wojo on his shoulders.  Next please! 

[Silent Verbal]

You think there is ZERO chance he leaves and takes another job?

I think he's coached himself out of any P6 openings, even the worst ones.  He definitely would no longer be a candidate for Wake.  They ain't paying Danny Manning a $15 million buyout to hire Wojo.
