I'd rather have Gregg Marshall than Pitino.

Marshall has some baggage, (but what's hitting a player and choking an assistant coach?  Back in Al's day it was considered fiery.)
He got over a $7 million buyout from Wichita State, so he's probably not hurting for cash.  Also still in his 50's.

After his rebuild season at Wichita he averaged 27 wins per season over his last 11 years.

His racial slurs were a nice touch too

Time to think outside the box.  Would Becky Hammon want a college head coaching position or is she holding out to be an NBA head coach?

I predict MU strikes out on about their first 4 calls and ends up with Wardle.   But I didn't think MU would fire him.    So my guesses suck lately.
You, and others, defended Wojo often.  I don't have a problem with that, but where do you see him landing?  When other schools that are at or above MU's level have no interest in Wojo will that be a sign that everyone who is in the know...knows that Wojo isn't a good coach?

He's radioactive.  Try again.

I don't care where he lands.  I am about who is next.

Radioactive as well, and we don't have the cash for that.  Lots of dreamers on the board.  Put Matta, Beilein, Bennett, and Oats out of our heads asap also.

Why are Matta and Beilein out?

I mean ok there's a lot that points Matta holding for Butler but then why Beilein?

If Stevens goes to Indiana, I'll let myself dream more on Beilein if he truly wants to get back into coaching.

My list:

1.  Ed Cooley
2. Doc Rivers
3. Becky Hammon
4.  Brad Stevens
5.  Ryan Saunders
6.  Tom Crean
7.  David Blatt
8.  Mike Anderson

As I review it seems very outside the box, but the NBA style of play with spacing and shooting wins games and is exciting AND wins in the Big East (ref:  Nova).  Cooley and Anderson don't have that style but they have aggressive D and fun to watch teams.  Given MU's resources, any of  these can win.

Difference between being a guy who had a FF and a S16, and one of the top college coaches of all time who took 3 different schools to a FF and has more S16s than games won by Marshall in the NCAA tourney. 

That being said, infractions aside, Pitino is a charismatic guy who is fairly well liked.  Marshall is widely known as a complete a**hole and bully even before the racial slurs and physical abuse came out.

Neither will be considered, but I can understand why people would still want Pitino and equally want no part of Gregggggg

Better ask why would they.  What does Beilein have to prove, and why would he want to do that at Marquette?  Unless his son is promised the job when he is done, I can't find a reason.  Why would he start a rebuild at the age of 68?  I'm not saying its impossible, but I can't convince myself there is a snowballs chance in hell.

Thad Matta hasn't coached in 4 years.  Why would he decide to come out of retirement to coach somewhere he has no ties to?  PSU reached out to him and couldn't talk him into their spot.  I don't know if he will ever coach again.  Maybe he has the itch, and we could be the spot he dreams of... but I just don't see it happening.

Why would Pitino take the Iona job?

Never gonna get Shaka or Bennett

Never said we would. Just used those individuals as a baseline for "big swing"
Assume what I say should be in teal if it doesn't pass the smell test for you.

\Dont know what Pitino is making at Iona, but around 5 million per would surely get him. And then another couple million a year to surround him with an ethics infrastructure. Besides, a guy that one owned big stakes thoroughbreds cant be all bad. But keep him away from restaurant tables.
I thought you were dead. Willie lives rent free in Reekers mind.

1. Pitino
2. Oats
3. Shaka
4. Gates
5. Beilein
6. Matta
7. Archie
8. Crean
9. Craig Smith
10. Moser

His buyout for him to leave Iona is 10 million dollars.  It's a non starter.

IL Warrior

1. John Wooden
2. Phil Jackson
3. Red Auerbach
4. Norman Dale
5. Gregg Popovich
6. Mike Krzyzewski
7. Bobby Knight
8. James Naismith

My list is about as realistic as most of the names in this thread, so I will not be happy if the administration doesn't commit to winning and hire one of these names.

1. Pitino  - buyout plus salary plus squirmy
2. Oats - even bigger buyout plus salary
3. Shaka - if not before, why now?  He's been successful in Texas this year with a tough conference
4. Gates - makes sense.
5. Beilein - older, why would have have interest, does his son come as a package?
6. Matta - Sounds great, but he hasn't coached a game in four years.  Why Marquette, why now?
7. Archie - just burned out at IU rather quickly.  Had Dayton going, maybe he's still got some juice?
8. Crean - If we have no one else, sure.
9. Craig Smith - makes sense
10. Moser - makes sense

Just my dumb dumb thoughts
