Word is swirling : wojo is gone

[MU82]

Pitino is a good coach but he's almost 70.  Maybe ten years ago this was a good idea, but cmon...

70 is the new 50!

[DienerTime34]

You think if Pitino becomes coach he'll make it a priority to restore the dance team to at least mid 2000s level?

[axaguy]

No but hotel room rates will skyrocket during campus visit season.....

[muwarrior69]

Even the atheists on Scoop are praying that this rumor is true.

They don't believe in God so they praying to the next best, Al.

If you asked John McAfee, he'd say they missed.

Actually, if there is any dumping on a forehead, it is Wojo-Dukiet dumping on Admins forehead, because ademins head is firmly embedded up Wojo-Dukiets butt.

This thread is crazy. The only thing swirling is the toilet water going down the tube that has become our program under Wojo-Dukiet.

I am all in on Pat Kelsey   Absolutely zero interest in Rick Pitino.

No thank you.

[Clueless Boomer]

My sources at Home Depot here in Fort Myers say Wojo is out and Joe Chapman is in. You heard it here first.

I keep waiting for someone to come up with the username Big Father to post.

Which is unusual, because willie's go to comment is typically about penises. (Peni?)

[MarquetteMike1977]

Beilein is 67 I believe

[Goose]

Biden is 78.

[MarquetteMike1977]

Agree would like Beilein first, second Rick Pitino. Has anyone Mentioned Stan Johnson on this thread yet. LMU’s NET was near Marquette’s.

Does all this MU being in on transfers talk make it more likely Wojo is staying

Due diligence by the staff to do their jobs until told otherwise.  Boosters are working behind the scenes

[BrewCity83]

Right, Wojo is coach until he isn't.  So he's got to work like he always has.

Frankly - I'd expect an outgoing staff to make as many or more offers than usual. Set themselves up with some possible relationships in their next gig.

It will be telling how many of these offers actually turn into legit finalist lists.

[Jockey]

Biden is 78.

And sharp as a tack.

Sorry, Goose, I couldn't resist just because its you.

Boosters are working behind the scenes? on what - Wojo's next inbounds play?

If deep pocketed Indiana boosters could pay to get rid of Archie, deep pocketed Marquette boosters can pay to get rid of Wojo.  Maybe the alum and boosters just don’t take Marquette basketball as serious as they do in Indiana

UNFORTUNATELY, this has NOT been a good year for men’s basketball at Marquette.

After a very disappointing season, rumors are now swirling around that Wojo will NOT be coaching Marquette basketball next year.  His top assistant has already left (announced yesterday)…and that could just be the tip of the iceberg. There’s some speculation that former Louisville coach, Rick Patino, may be one of the candidates to replace Wojo. However, although Patino is a proven winner and great coach, his “past transgressions” may be way too much for Marquette to overlook.
 
Just think back…a little over three years ago the Marquette fan base was on top of the world. Ranked among the top ten teams in the country, the Golden Eagles looked like a sure lock to finish first in a tough Big East Conference. Then, the wheels fell off the MU bus. The team literally fell apart, losing 6 of their final seven games. When that disappointing season ended, two of their best players, the Houser brothers, transferred.

The 2019-20 season was a repeat. The Golden Eagles got off to a good start, then went into a tailspin, winning only one of their seven remaining games. This basketball season has been even worse with MU finishing near the bottom of the Big East…then getting blown out 68-49 by Georgetown in the Big East Tournament.

Although Wojo appears to run a “clean program” and is a good recruiter, he’s shown to be a poor game coach who fails to get the most out of his talented players. As a loyal and long-time Marquette fan, I believe it’s now time for a change. Marquette needs to hire a head coach that is capable of returning men’s basketball to its “glory days”. Then again, the MU Administration may just decide to play it safe and give Wojo yet another year to try and right his sinking ship!

No, no, a thousand times no.  You don't let a group of three players determine whether a coach stays.  What kind of message does that send to the kids you're asking, and to the other players on the team whose input didn't matter?  LeBron James can get coaches hired and fired.  But that will never happen at Marquette.

100%.
