MU coaching candidates

[🏀]

No I didn't.

But it was never an excuse for MU to lose without out best player. So it's not an excuse for Georgia Tech.

Call the Loyola Chicago guy.

His name is Porter Moser and has been mentioned frequently.

This game, or any game in the tournament, is a reason to call a head coach.

McKay is well below .500 (54-71) as a HC in non-1 bid conferences.  It seems he's got it going well at Liberty after he spent time at UVA, but thats a massive red flag for an older guy.  Especially since the ASUN has been absolutely putrid the last few years, its hard to gauge.

Don't get the love for Ritchie McKay either. Was a rocket 10 years ago in coaching and flamed out. Safety net, sure, but it won't get there unless MU is staying cheap.

Screw it, just use Hologram Al.

How does Hologram Al fist fight players? Big loss there.

He's done very well at Liberty which is a hard place to do well. Diversity of experience which may be an overcorrection from hiring an unproven assistant. Has recent experience recruiting to a high major program. Has a clear system and recruits to it.

Wouldn't be my first choice by any stretch. But I do think he's on the list and don't think is bad for a 5th or 6th option.

I would like to know what D-Wade is doing these days.

[Mr. Nielsen]

Everyone knows GT is playing without their best player right?

ACC player of the year.

[RJax55]

I would like to know what D-Wade is doing these days.

Enjoying life.

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.

This list is out of control.

Smith and Moser top my list of best "reasonable" candidates. Of course would love Beilein or Matta.

This is where I'm at.  Dream hires would be Beilein and Matta.  Strong, more realistic hires of Moser, Smith, and Gates I'd be great with too.

You're already talking down the next coach (MU will strike out on 4 and "settle" for Wardle).

Look - I'm sorry you were wrong about Wojo's coaching abilities. I'm sorry you were wrong about the school not firing Wojo. I'm sorry you were wrong about the university coming out in public support of Wojo in the immediate aftermath of yesterday's blog / billboard. It sucks to have so much egg in your face - I can understand that.

But can you just swallow your pride here, admit Wojo needed to Gojo, and be optimistic that the next guy can take MUBB back to the place where it needs to be? It's the least you can do.

Having the 5 Dollar Bitcher lecture someone on being optimistic is delicious.

Would you like to join the party of those getting roasted for their moronic posts over the last 6 months?? I'd happily oblige.

[Tums Festival]

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.

You're going to include dead guys, then why isn't Al on your list?

[CountryRoads]

What about Jon Scheyer?

[NickelDimer]

It's not moronic to say you've been overwhelmingly negative. Just saying there's a lot people toss your way that's worth getting defensive over, but negative or not positive is something that maybe is more of a look in word moment.

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

I know your trolling, and Duke assistant connection aside, that would be my literal nightmare as Marquette's next coach.

I'm just taking my 24 hours to gloat over all the condescending, high horse posters I (and others) had to wade through for the past few years.

Once that's over - I'm all on board. Onward and upward. Let's win.

[Slick]

Don't overlook Wayne Tinkle Jr. He is Oregon States HC and just won the Pac 12 Tourney and beat #5 Tennessee today. His father whose name is also Wayne Tinkle, was Dean of Men at Marquette in the 60s.

[The Hippie Satan of Hyperbole]

Tinkle is two games over .500 in seven seasons at OSU.  That is seriously doubtful

[Silkk the Shaka]

I really don't understand why Moser is so low on everybody's list. Lets take todays game as an example.

GT was killing them early, and giving them hell defensively. Moser recognized it, moved Krutwig away from the post to open up space and now they're up 8 with 2 minutes to play.

100%. Selfishly I hope they lose on Sunday and he's sitting in the Al on Monday.

Please overlook him. If they didn't go on a run in the Pac12 tourney, a weak PAC 12 that had no top 4 seeds no less, he'd be a guy with 1 NCAA berth in 7 years, a .400 winning percentage in college, and no better than a finish tied for 4th in easily the weakest of the power basketball conferences over the last 7-8 years.  Good lord no.

[StillWarriors]

If Porter Moser is Marquette's next coach, does Sister Jean enter the Transfer Portal?

Good one!
