Shaka to Marquette?

[GooooMarquette]

We fired a guy who had 0 NCAA wins in seven seasons at MU so that we could hire a guy who has 0 NCAA wins in six seasons at Texas?

No thanks. You can't even use the "MU has more resources" argument, folks.

[Pakuni]

You guys that wouldn't take Shaka are insane. My god.

I'd be OK with it, but I wouldn't be over the moon either. Fact is, he's been nothing but underwhelming at Texas.

[CountryRoads]

I'd take Shaka in a heart beat.

I think it'd be a home run for MU, but respect other's opinions. I don't think he would view MU as a stepping stone after failing at a P6. My top choice is Belein though (probably unrealistic).

Bennet won a NCAA Championship, Shaka won an NIT

And Bennett also only ever coach to lose to a 16 seed.
Also lost today early in the tourney.

I mean I get why people feel this way about Shaka. But until 7:30pm CST people wanted Shaka. (This loss is damning. No doubt!)

[Tha Hound]

The people here begging for this absolute bum to come to MU.  My god, have some self respect

[CountryRoads]

Realistically? Beilein first then Gates or Moser on the next tier down.

Ah, ok same. I'd put Shaka ahead of Gates and Moser but fair enough.

Texas and the Big 12 wasn't the right fit for Shaka but I still think he would be a slam dunk hire for Marquette. He's got loads of experience as a Head Coach and a change is exactly he needs to get the train back on the tracks.

Havoc type defenses work wonders in the big east look at what St. John's did under Mike Anderson with minimal talent.

The longer this discussion  goes, and the various rationals for iffy coaches makes me less sure this Wojo move made sense.

I mean Nate Oats isn't coming, I don't know who people expect, but if there's a candidate better than Shaka, I'd love to see people name him.

Now it'll be interesting to see if Shaka gets fired this week.

When Texas was ranked high, and they won the Big12 tourney did you think he was an "absolute bum"? Or what was it you didn't like about him before tonight?

Again my friend has been in Shaka's Office and Beilein's office and FWIW said Beilein's office was way more organized. Not it means much but there is something to be said for that.

At this point there's a 0% chance the administration could back up hiring this guy. If you pay millions to buy out a mans contract only to spend millions more to lure his carbon copy you might as well be signing your resignation

Oats has been my top pick for a bit. But Shaka would be 2.

Still has name recognition. Could still unleash havoc. Always a good defensive team. Lots to like. Maybe Texas boosters just messed with his happy.

This board is hilarious. 12 hours ago it was "Shaka would never come to Marquette, you're crazy" to the ultimate recency bias of "I'd never want Shaka here".

You guys are something else, Jesus.

I was joking about Shaka watch 2.0 earlier today but here we are seven years later...It may be a real possibility.

I know this might come as a shock to you, but you are reading and interaction with literally hundreds of people here. And I can confidently tell you the vast majority were not sold on Shaka 12 hours ago

He didn't implement Havoc at Texas. In fact, he just got his ass handed to him by Havoc. He went the Wojo route and tried to fit 5* square pegs into a round hole. Not interested.

Gates, Smith, Moser. All have done as much as or more than Shaka has done at Texas, with far less resources.

Checking out the Texas board, they are calling for his head. He was on the chopping block at the end of last season, but the buyout was too big...and COVID year.

I think the situation there is much like at MU. Really too much animosity at this point to do anything else but fire him. The fact that it was an NCAA tournament birth may be the only thing that saves him. But the fans/boosters don't seem to care about a birth, they want wins.

[MarquetteMike1977]

🤦🏻‍♂️

Not that he has been in many coaches offices. He just by chance was in those 2 offices.

Please grace us and explain what the Philistines here are too dense to grasp.

Many of us did not want Shaka then, and still don't want him now.

I'll continue to wait for a better name then.
