Big donors

Assuming there's interest in a buy-out of the coach's contract, who are the big MU donors that will force the issue? I honestly have no idea. If it's up to Lovell, I think Wojo stays forever.

I don't see Wojo being bought out or fired or any such thing.  While his seat might not be hot from administration, I do think he is feeling the heat from the fans and the best bet might be for him to look, flirt and find greener pastures.  Wasn't there a rumor last year about him looking at another job?  He is gone if he can find something.

I think the window for Wojo to land at another P6 school has closed. That would be a tough hire to sell to any P6 fan base. I can't picture what the spin would be if he took an obvious step down and pay cut.

We're the only program stupid enough to have Wojo on the payroll. Nice job, MU

I am not sure that MU's really big donors are basketball fans.

Ironically enough, because of the Wojo hiring by Lovell. Guess Strong was smart, huh??

I am not sure MU really has that many "big donors". Strong was by far the largest for hoops and he left the tent.

Correct me if I'm wrong but he was all in on Shaka and even flew to meet him. Then he hopped on a plane to go overseas and got a text MU had a new coach.

That's half right, Shaka backed out last minute. Instead of reaching back out to Strong to discuss another potential coach, they just hired wojo.

Warrior of Law

So, MU can't afford a buyout, and Wojo has no other coaching options. A marriage made in heaven!

This very well might be right but it's disgusting if true. He's had everything he's needed from support, time and resources to show what he's worth as a head coach and the answer is painfully clear. I'll continue to count down the days until a change is made.
