Homer tweet

[Warrior of Law]

Lovell is the 1st non-Jesuit president because the pool of SJs was shallow.  Georgetown is in the same boat. Regardless, this is arguably the biggest decision he would make. The conservative approach is to sit tight.

I was hoping for a Megan Duffy hire.  Now she can coach.

I always liked Steve the Homer True.  But if they are rolling him out to sell the fan base on Wojo, then there is definitely some anxiety within the administration (similar to the Packer announcers providing support to Mike McCarthy before his final season).  The use of the Homer means the university administration is circling the wagons.

Sadly, I expect another year of Wojo at the Helm.

The Jesuit order has had trouble recruiting priests for a long time. The pool of qualified candidates keeps getting smaller.

Yep. There are some "media members" who are too afraid to speak honestly about the program for fear of losing their access. Homer and Dodds come to mind and neither of them are remotely reliable when it comes to MU info or is their content really even interesting because they're toeing their imaginary line they've set for themselves.

[dajudge]

Homer from Tweeter! Probably just more FAKE news.

Want to bet??

[WarriorPride68]

Wojo contract runs for 4 more seasons. I don't see MU biting bullet on that after just giving him extension less than a year ago

Homer:

You might want him fired but they won't fire him

Fans:

I hate you Homer

I think this is where the phrase don't shoot the messenger came from.

Why would Lovell and the powers to be use Homer deliver their message? Is Homer their lapdog?

He reporting the truth, not trying to persuade.  He knows the admin is knee deep in WojoLand and unwilling to get out.

You know speaking of Homer...I really do like the guy, but in all honesty for someone in the sports media field and all the years i have listened to his show, I don't EVER once recall him breaking a story about anything. Nothing. Ever. I find that strange that a sports talk show host as long as he has been, not have any sources on anything in the local sports field, to never once have broken a story about the Packers, Bucks, Brewers, MU, anything. Almost everyone in the media field in his position breaks a story at some point in their careers, but he hasn't...that I'm aware of anyway. Very strange.

bc he doesn't care.  He likes what he does.  One of the most content media members I have ever met.  No ego.  Good dude.

Wow, no #donedeal?

[Mr. Sand-Knit]

I can understand people are upset, but do people actually think MU would let Wojo go??
Uf so u are friggin looney tunes.
Let us recall Tom Crean missed the NCAAs in year 5 and Year 6 of his tenure.  Yes he had a final 4 under his belt, but by year 6 the program was a disaster and by years end we had a PF bringing the ball up the court as we gad zero ball handlers capable of doing it.  We ended the year losing at home in the first round if the NIT to a mid major while scoring 36? points. 
Sure people are disappointed but let us try to keep some sanity

Going back to Buzz's last season (13-14), Marquette is 11-20 in March games. This includes BE regular season games, conference tournament games, NCAA Tournament games and NIT games.

It's an alarming metric for a program that had built a sustained successful top-25 program. Surely, the fans have cause for concern.

Is Homer a spokesperson for the University? If not, he is not a messenger. I think he is more like a lackey. And no one likes a lackey.

He said 1 more year.....

That alone implies a lot.  Next year the seat is hot unless Wojo can pull a Greg Gard.  We all know that's not happening.

[Daniel]

I am upset about our last two year-end finishes as is everyone else. There seems to be no reason for this to happen.  We've had players leave, some injuries and other things that have impeded MU's progress.

And we have our Coach.  Lots of issues.  Lots of opinions. Has he been the best?  Ok,  no .  But I believe we are better off with our Coach here next year than getting another assistant coach who will take 4 years to get anywhere. And Wojo will be better and more experienced in four more years than a new guy would be.  And he is an experienced recruiter. A new guy might be.  Might not be.   

And we will most likeLy be in in the NCAA tourney this year.  With all the negativity, it is tough on all of us, including the coach.  Yeah I know, he gets paid a lot of money.  If he's going to be our coach let's support him and help make him better and MU basketball better.  Well, that's what I plan on doing, anyway.  Let's win Saturday.

You assume Wojo will just keep improving as an in-game coach. I say that he has years and years of experience coaching already  and this is probably just who he is. I wish I had your optimism.

Homer not breaking news is what I love about him. He is an entertainer and does that well. That said, his tweet probably has some legs to it.

[Class71]

I guess we should take Homer's advise, "... say whatever you want ..."

Well Homer you may have to kiss Wojo's butt to get an occasional interview consisting of meaningless comments from a bad coach but we do not.

Looks like next year Wojo can recycle his excuses from year one for you. Remember we had a young team and that is why we played poorly? Sound about right? Good luck Homer selling that story.

[MU Fan in Connecticut]

Xavier"s President announcemed he's stepping down after next school year.  Wondering if they end up with an SJ or first lay President.

[PE8983]

Example 1A of how a good coach can impact a team - look no further than the 1st year women's basketball coach.

[NotAnAlum]

Homer is correct and he is just being logical.  The admin is not going take that action and eat that money in anything short of a crisis.  Now next year if they see blow out loses at home, no tournament invite and public opinion on the basketball program turns sour it might be enough to create a crisis.
