Wojo Post MU Thread

[Herman Cain]

Seems like Wojo is happy his Pac-12 Network , ESPN and USA Basketball assistant gigs for now. Not seeing his name mentioned anywhere on the Coaching Carousel.

I imagine he does not want to move from Park City since his oldest is in High School now and active in Football .

I just saw Utah State has an opening, so lets see if Wojo goes for that

[Herman Cain]

Another year goes by and Wojo not in the running for any coaching positions.

I guess he will continue to do TV  and some odds and ends national team coaching foe the foreseeable future

[Ardmore Mug]

Tough to live on the $9mil payout , and whatever he stashed away from his MUBB $$$ ! ! !  I don't feel sorry ! ! !

Herman,

He was honestly really, really, bad on TV.  I'm not saying this because of personal bias.

Maybe his TV contract wont get renewed ?

I've described him as wooden and laconic.  These are not good TV analyst traits.  I mean he reads a teleprompter Herman and it comes off to the viewer as......well.....reading a teleprompter.  He has personality and charisma issues that are geared towards other professions perhaps?

This was actually a couple weeks ago. Nice place, strange drinking laws.

Elevation.  Doesn't as much to get blitzed.

Yeah, that or the majority of the state is Mormon.   Not sure which.

Going way back when the state was partially "dry", in some "wet" counties in North Carolina, you were allowed to bring your own liquor into an establishment and pay a fee for glasses and drinking your liquor at a table. The liquor had to be in a paper bag and kept under the table when it was not being poured.

Much of this depends on how much media training he has had. If one looks at some sports figures when they first broadcasted, they were awful.

Give Coach Wojo time -- he'll be passable. Would love to see him do commentary on a game, but that's way off.

Why?

It's beyond media training.  Look at the best former players/coaches turned broadcasters starting out, they are rough but they have personality, charisma, or charm that shines through.  The organization of thought, manner of articulation, etc... comes after.  Wojo showed none of that.  If Shaka did TV and came off rigid or cautious, then I could see the "wait and see approach" cause his manner of speaking and articulating as a coach is engaging and infectious.  But nobody that watched Wojo coach and speak as HC for 5+ years was like "he's gonna be great on TV".  He would be like listening to a white noise machine as a commentator in game

I could see it now:
Woj: "Both teams need to play harder"

Wojciechowski, who has been living in the Salt Lake City area since departing Marquette in 2021, has been eager to make the leap into pro coaching and now lands with a franchise replete with young players and three first-round picks in the 2023 NBA draft.

He had spent time around the Jazz organization over the past two years, especially in the 2021-22 season because of his longtime relationship with former Jazz coach Quin Snyder. Wojciechowski spent time this past season attending some Jazz practices and building a relationship with coach Will Hardy.
