Wojo's next stop

[Warrior of Law]

All of these options seem reasonable to me, although I'm thinking returning to MU may not be a choice for him.

[5DollarPitcher]

He will be back at MU.  The school will be completely silent to the gnashing of teeth from fed-up fans and students.  The program is what they intended it to be.

[Johnny B]

lol dumb. hes back at mu next year barring like only 1 more win this year

The move for Wojo should be to go back to Duke as Associate Head Coach and then roll the dice and maybe K will quit mid year and wojo can take over and pull a Gard.

Actually, while watching a bit of Duke game last night, I wondered about why Chris Carrawell opted to leave Wojo and MU to go back to Duke, for the equal position. Did he feel that Wojo was not a branch of K’s tree that he wanted to be out on, so he went back to the trunk? Did he realize that Wojo is not the leader that he expected?

Then again, maybe the noon games just weren’t as good as when Travis was there.

Remember when people actually thought he would "bolt" for Duke 😂😂😂

Carrawell wanted to be near his son who was playing in NC in high school and now plays for UNCC

I think Carrawell was generally considered dead weight anyway, and being at Duke is better than being at Marquette under any circumstances, especially with Wojo running the show at MU.  Losing Stan and Brad "The Shot Doctor" Nelson (Physician, heal thyself!) probably actually hurt, but Carrawell's departure just meant one less guy lacing them up in the lunchtime league.

I do believe I recall seeing Carrawell with Scheyer and Coach K posing with Jalen Johnson in Johnson's living room, Carrawell looking fat and happy that he was back inside the soft bubble of the Duke program under K.

Useful tidbit that could be an explanation. Thanks.

For the upteenth time, Wojo isn't going anywhere this year.

1) Big Buyout. Bad time.

2) Revenue -- what the impact will be is anyone's guess.

3) Covid-19 year. Limited practice, exceptional uncertainty.

Candidly, if you're going to sack him, after next year will be the time. A new coach has a fighting chance of holding the team together and could walk in and make this team really hum. The transition would be accelerated.

Who cares about holding the team together? Wojo held the 2014 team together, what was that worth? And with new transfer rules, it's even less likely.

The only new coach worth having is the one that can build their own team. If we get rid of Wojo, I'm not counting on anyone staying, nor should the new hire be motivated by that.

[panda]

I think Wojo needs to start seriously considering his next job prospects. It's not going to work here and he's basically interviewing for his next stop. The next couple of months will be interesting.

He held it together until mid-December of his first season, when the best basketball player on the team transferred.  But I agree with your point.

[jutaw22mu]

LMAO at the notion he could be an analyst for any network—you sorta have to understand the game in order to land such a gig.

Like Carton, Garcia, and Lewis aren't gonna want to bolt the moment their names are even hinted at in the draft.

[Billy Hoyle]

Carton will have to sit. Minnesota will be all over Garcia and plenty of east Coast majors (e.g. Maryland, Rutgers) will be courting Lewis.

I was thinking earlier tonight, when will dominos start falling of our players, especially the good ones, say enough of this crap, I can do so much better than this empty suit.  I’m surprised it hasn’t happened yet.  These guys seem as dispirited as the people here are, how could you not be?

Have you really listened to some of these analysts? He could talk a good enough game and he looks good. I could see it happening.

True, some of the analysts are really bad. But he doesn’t have the personality to make up for lack of bball IQ.

[brewcity77]

He's got enough basketball IQ. Just because he doesn't have the ability to manage a high-major team to our level of expectations doesn't mean he can't convey X's & O's to a rudimentary audience.

[HutchwasClutch]

He would need a veteran and solid play by play guy to overcome his general dullness.

I agree. We’ve seen enough. Chico’s loves to tell us who will be leaving etc. so it’s not wise. We have a young talented roster this year....can’t play the well wait til this guy( and his rankings)  comes in next year.

[Silent Verbal]

The issue isn’t basketball IQ, it’s charisma.  Wojo has none, he’s one of the blandest, most boring speakers I’ve seen.  Wright and Cooley have charisma, they’d be good in the booth or studio.  Wojo?  Not so much.

Dumb. The issue is W’s. You’re hatred of Wojo is clouding your mind now.
Charisma? That’s what you’re going with? Ok

I was referring to him getting a job as a network analyst or color commentator.
