MU coaching candidates

[Hards Alumni]

But I think it is Wardle.

I'd put this as a slim to none chance.  If we go with Wardle we may as well have kept Wojo, because there will be no hype behind the hire, and Marquette would be admitting mediocrity.

Stick a fork in the program if this happens.

If we hire Wardle I'll return my diploma.

They're great coaches who won't be coaching at Marquette anytime soon.

[MarquetteMike1977]

I like Brian Wardle he always said hi to our family as a player but no offense hope we can do better than Wardle.

[Knight Commission]

Shaka is playing Marquette.  Moser is Tony Barone part 2.  Pat Kelsey is the best choice.  Marquette coaches with big/quirky personalities have done well.

Anyone that mentions Brian Wardle should be banned from posting until a new HC is named. As for Moser, he seems like a great, great guy and I wish him the best of luck at Loyola.

We had a fun Marquette 20 year run 4 seats front row center court. Purchased family and friends yellow tee shirts most every game and we drank one beer in the first half and one beer in the second half. Later we moved back about 10 rows but knew the jumbotron camera person and got on most games. Wardle would say hi. Good times. But again hope MU can do better than Wardle.

I honestly have no idea if this is a meme account, but it is pure gold either way.

[GooooMarquette]

But Mrs Shaka wasn’t into Milwaukee.  Now after 6 years in a vibrant growing warm weather city shed be cool with Milwaukee?

Global warming. Milwaukee is the new Austin.

Lol do not know what a meme account is but probably wish it was one but nope haha.

Haha. I like the way you think. Moser is not going to scale up at Marquette. I don't think he can recruit at the level we expect/need.

You don’t need top 25 classes every year if you can actually coach. That said, I have no idea if Moser is the right guy or not.

[JWags85]

None of the ley leadership at Marquette or in the AD, save for Broeker, even worked with Wardle as an assistant or player, and even the latter was briefly when Wardle was a 25 year old assistant. So other than “hey he’s a D1 coach who played here”, a default to him seems tenuous. If they wanted a mid major coach who sat on the bench in Milwaukee and would take it in a second, at least call Darrin Horn.

(Horn would be a VERY disappointing hire but I’d still welcome it over Wardle)

[onepost]

But I think it is Wardle.

What is your hang-up on Brian Wardle?  The guy's literal only relevance is people on this board mentioning him: he's a .500 coach at Green Bay and Bradley.  Given your recent track record of getting basically every prediction wrong, I don't hate that you think this.

[tower912]

I don't want Wardle.   I fear MU ends up with him.   Huge difference.



Chatting with my wife the Hoosier fan.   We are laughing at the delusions of our respective fanbases.    Brad for IU, Pitino for MU.

On the floor, Pitino is one of my favorite coaches if all time.   But, as my wife said, "How can a Jesuit university even think about hiring after what he has done"?

Sounds like Moser should be on the list but I hypothesize that the closer you live to Chicago the higher he is on your list.

Do not know why but Wife wearing her Marquette sweatshirt and am wearing my MU mask at the Zoo today with more pride after yesterday.

Not sure if you meant it that way, but it made me laugh remembering the Cheers episode where Cliff was on Jeopardy.

Do you currently own any eccentric suits?  Bonus points if they include Pantone 281 or Pantone 123.

Damn, the closest I have is a seer sucker suit.

I knew I should have bought the plaid Pantone 281/123 I saw at the thrift store. Who would have ever thought not buying it would rule my out for an MU head coaching position.

[CountryRoads]

Anyone that mentions Brian W***** should be banned from posting until a new HC is named. As for Moser, he seems like a great, great guy and I wish him the best of luck at Loyola.

Agree. Mods should even ban the word W***** from even being posted on this forum.

[PorkysButthole]

Don’t worry, no way Stan gives up So-Cal sun & good vibes from his current resurrection project to come back to a frozen/gray city rebuild

Find the next Al/Few/Jay Wright

Porky agrees with this.   MU may be an attractive job, but not attractive enough to overcome the climate issues of MKE.  Porky doesn't think anyone on this board takes that into account enough because 70% of you probably live within 100 miles of MKE and are used to it.  For a job like Michigan or Michigan state coaches might be willing to make that sacrifice but MU, Porky isn't sure.   It's definitely one of the better openings out there, possibly no. 2 after IU but 8 month winters aren't everyone's cup of tea.  As a coastie, Porky is convinced this is a much bigger issue than most of you think it is, despite MU being a Basketball first school that devotes huge resources to the program.

If you can't pull off the Buzz look, how about Huggy?

That’s actually probably true. Living in Edgewater during their final four run was a blast.
