Coaching Rumors.com: Marshall offered OU job

[Speed]

Here's another, saying the OU job is Marshall's to lose. If Shocker's lose tonight, Marshall could be OU's coach on Wednesday.

Might need to wait until Friday! Sooner now later. :wsu_posters:

Checking with a couple Oklahoma experts, there was no confirmation today of an offer already being made to Marshall.

[tropicalshox]

From HoopDirt: BYU's Dave Rose is not interested in the Oklahoma job. Oklahoma had an interview with someone today, but they don't know who it was.

[Zardoz]

Nope, no way, can't see it, it's a move down, will never happen.

Alot of people said the same thing about Turg to A&M...

OU is no A&M.

At least A&M men's attendance outdraws their women's attendance.

If you remember the Turgeon thing happened very fast. Tubby to Minnesota, Gillespie to Kentucky and Turgeon to A&M. There was no time to speculate. Mark has regretted that hasty decision for the past 4 years.

Please expound using other than "coach speak".

He misses us. :yes:

Good answer. He may very well miss us. However, he doesn't miss coaching at "this level".

And when he can't get the players he wants it is all on him? I've not seen this I've just see excuses from a very insecure little man.

A fan on one of the OU boards heard on their local news last night that Marshall has been offered the OU job, but that neither side has confirmed.

So, still very much a rumor at this point.

[Shox21]

Marshall isn't even being mentioned on ESPN Insiders "Rumors" for the Oklahoma job -- This is the latest with the headling "New Frontrunner for Oklahoma job?"


With Buzz Williams close to remaining at Marquette and Josh Pastner locked up at Memphis with a new five-year extension that doubles his annual salary to $1.7 million, rumors are circulating -- really circulating -- that UNLV coach Lon Kruger could be the frontrunner for the Oklahoma job.

Kruger, at age 58, is an interesting candidate. He has a wealth of head coaching experience and has won everywhere he's been at the college level (sorry Atlanta Hawks fans). He grew up in Kansas, has coached at Kansas State and Illinois, and is familiar with the Midwest. A deal at OU would likely give him a big raise to his current annual salary, reported to be around $1.2 million, so the interest would likely be mutual.


One can only hope this is true and that Marshall, if he has been offered, has turned it down.

I can't buy into an official offer has been given. Perhaps there as been word to Marshall's orbit there will be an interview request along with an offer after the NIT. I really doubt if Marshall had direct contact with them. If Marshall is on top of their list, they are probably worried about NCS offering and getting him before them.

It seems like both NCS and OU think they can get Marshall if they want him. It's Marshall's call but other than perhaps being out bid by a few bucks, I sure can't see OU. Big rebuilding job there plus probable sanctions. And, it will take a miracle for NCS to be a winner.

Although I think the South Carolina job being Marshall's dream was overblown in the past, I still think it is the biggest threat. That will probably be next year, if we get that far.

I could actually accept that Marshall left us to take the NC state job, but i would be pretty pissed if he left to take the OU job.

And I might be niave, but I believe Marshall when he says he is spending 100% of his energy coaching his current team.

Marshall has an agent and he knows that person is taking care of his best interest so he doesn't have to worry about it but and he can coach his team. The details are already being taken care of.

I'm guessing his agent is telling everyone that Marshall is not interested and is happy where he is.

I may be misinformed but I don't think that is what agents do.

If your not looking to at least consider moving up and on to bigger jobs then why have an agent?

Arrange TV commercials for Wichita metro.

Arrange off-season camp details.

Arrange other Wichita area events that bring residual income, such as speeches.
