Why would Duke want Wojo?  He's a terrible coach.

Nope, Chicos says you can't count his first year because of the mess he inherited from Buzz, so you have to throw that out and he's over .500  ::)

crazier stuff has happened. In football, under .500 Kliff Kingsbury goes from Texas Tech to the NFL’s Arizona Cardinals as HC. I guess Duke could take Wojo.
Moron? Maybe. Dork? Possibly. Lost? Definitely.

I’d go all out to pry Stevens from the Celtics.  The Coach K family tree is unbelievably underwhelming when they’ve run their own programs.  Brey has been solid, but unspectacular at ND.  Amaker was terrible at Michigan, so hard to believe his success at Harvard translates. 

As for our fair haired lad.....🤣🤣🤣🤣

We all have tunnel vision when it comes to MU hoops, and for good reason. We all desperately want to win big again, and then to stay on top for years and years. Nothing wrong with that, obviously.

I wish Wojo had done better to date. I gave him a lot of rope, and I still don't blame him exclusively for our program not getting at least back to Buzz level, but he is the man in charge and the buck needs to stop with him. Although I still defend him sometimes from what I feel are baseless attacks, I am no longer a solid "projo." It's time for him to win. Hell, it's past time.

Having said all that ...

Take a good look at that SI article. It was filled with praise for Wojo. The author thinks Wojo is doing a fine job at Marquette. And based on what I've seen and read over the past few years from those outside the MU universe -- and I consider Scoop to very much be inside the MU universe -- that writer's view is pretty typical.

Many of us are down on Wojo to varying degrees because we are very close to the situation and we want to win big. But those who think Wojo has turned Marquette into some kind of national laughingstock ... I simply think those Scoopers have too much tunnel vision to have even one iota of objectivity. Based on evidence I've seen, Wojo seems pretty well-respected.

Oh, and I doubt he would have been able to land the recruiting class he did if the national perception of him was that he was running a joke of a program.

Well said. Lot of well reasoned arguments. I may not agree 100% but I can appreciate a well written post.

Very good post.  MU is definitely not a laughingstock nationally.  It definitely could be a lot worse. But it is past time to win.  We are starting to fade from relevance every year we don’t do damage in the tournament.   Starting to get the sarcastic “Marquette going to make the NIT this year“ from friends with wry smiles on their faces.

Any writer who thinks wojo has done a solid job, has not paid attention to Marquette in the past 20 years.

From the outside, from a macro perspective, Wojo is successful.    From a micro perspective, elbows deep,  there is much to kvetch about.

Wojo Performance at the Mike Deane Level

MU has great resources and deserves a better coach than Wojo

Once the bromance with Lovell ends, MU can get back to the business of tracking where we were in the Crean /Buzz era.

Have said for quite some time now the only way to get rid of Wojo is for him to be hired away. Covid screwed the pooch with respect to that potential Wojexit.
Winning is overrated. The only time it is really important is in surgery and war.

I think this author for the SI story looked at Wojo’s Wikipedia page for his summary. It’s as superficial as “analysis” can be.

The thought of Wojo coaching a basketball blue blood, that’s what the laughingstock is.

It’s pretty important to remember SI is not the SI of old. It’s pretty much Bleacher Report articles now. Probably more sophisticated.

The article doesn't consider anyone outside of the Duke family for the position, which, is a realistic possibility. With that said, unless Wojo makes a couple of 2nd weekend runs very soon, he is not likely going to be as high on the list as a few other Duke coaches here.

Why would Duke want Wojo?

FIFY. 

Seriously though, Wojo isn't going to Duke when K retires.  There is no way he is in their top 5 choices. 
I would take the Rick SLU program right now.
