I can't even believe we're having a discussion about coaching changes. Complaints, yes. Criticism, yes, but for crying out loud, COACHING CHANGE?

24-8 and 14-4 in conference games doesn't constitute a coaching change no matter how disappointed about not making the dance we are. Let's get a grip!

I expect changes to come, but not in the coaching staff folks--or at least not in the head coach. People don't realize sometimes how detrimental a change would be right now to the program. Coaching changes aren't usually smooth in all aspects, and I would bet that it would put us back a year or 2 if we did.

HCGM deserves the chance to fix the problems and challenges. He's more than earned that chance folks.

That doesn't mean people don't have a right to complain, be disappointed or criticize, but firing the head coach is just stupid at this point.

I think there is 0% chance he will be fired and I don't want him fired.

Unfortunately I think there is a high probability that he will leave. I don't want that to happen, but I feel pretty powerless to stop it.

I think there is a chance he may wait until after next season to really pursue leaving, but I think if he gets an offer this year he is not going to turn it down.

This horse has been dead so long it has totally decomposed. Isn't it time to stop beating on it?

It's not like Marshall cannot improve. Schools like WSU don't get seasoned coaches who have all the experience in the world; they get up-and-comers who are a little green.

I'm sure Marshall learned more from this season than he bargained for, but the reason why successful people are successful is because they have failed so much. Marshall is not a quitter, and neither should we be.

Very solid.

Bingo!

Could not have been said better. If rjl keeps this up, I might consider some of his left leaning logic.

Hold on here. Did I actually type that?

Well, let's not go that far, but his post is dead on. 8)

If this was stock and I was your broker, I would get in trouble for trading with insider information.

I would have expected Marshall to have learned in his previous 9 seasons with Winthrop, and previous years. He was a seasoned coach when he came here, and I expect him to be able to cure most teams problems during the season. A seasoned coach should not be making 'rookie' mistakes with his team, and I am not saying that Marshall did.

Well, what ARRRRE ya sayin?

[Aargh]

I watched Marshall get outcoached in a couple of games this year. I came to the realization that Marshall might not be the best coach in the Valley TODAY.

Marshall is facing a different level of coaching than he saw at Winthrop. I think that caught him a couple of times this year. I don't think it's dis-loyal to mention that. I don't think it's a reason to hire another coach. It's acknowledgement by a fan that Marshall isn't perfect.

I think Marshall's experience will enable him to evaluate film and situations where he may not have made the best decisions and figure out how to correct that in the future.

[SHOXAAC]

Marshall certainly isn't perfect and I am glad he is our coach and would like him to be in the future. I do have a concern, as Aargh alluded to, about reviewing decisions he made that he would change if he had to do them over.

I think he made a grave error at the end of the VCU game. Not pressuring #12 94 feet was a critical error. During the next Monday's coaches show he supported his decision to not put pressure on #12 until midcourt with 4.9 seconds. He is sometimes too hard-headed in critical game-deciding situations. He has to tighten these things up.

[tropicalshox]

He put a double team on a man they didn't want to get the ball in the next similar situation with Creighton. Since they got a shot off he took a little flank for not guarding the in-bound passer. :roll:
