    Yeah but if it is an issue of oil and water and one of those components leaves, you should be in smooth waters. Theoretically.

      You look at coaches like Few, Wright, Bennet, etc. and they don't get as hot on the sideline.

      I know there are some coaches that still run hot, but maybe there won't be for much longer.
      I've debated talking about dirty laundry on here, but **** it.

      Fans that travel with the team are openly told by our athletic director that he goes along to some away games to sequester Marshall after a potential loss so that Marshall doesn't lay into the players until he's cooled down.
      The truth will set you free. But first, it will piss you off.

        • Can a player withdraw their name from the portal?

          • I don’t have anything to go on, but I believe the problem is Marshall. I fear we will continue to be on a downward slide the longer he is in charge. Ego and personal style has gotten the best of him, while it was once something we used to our advantage, it is now our Achilles heal. Unfortunately, no one is coming for him and past successes give him a very long leash. Turnover like this will make recruiting even harder for us and we are already falling behind. Not to be overly pessimistic, but I don’t see an upward trajectory for us.

              Cliff's notes: heated practice a few weeks ago. Sherfield purportedly quit, then came back the next day to ask if he could come back. Marshall said yes. They had a talk. Sherfield was a DNPCD the next game, then had the best game of his season the game after that (can't remember what games, but not hard to look up).

              • Marshall's coaching style hasn't changed since he's been here. If players didn't like the way he coaches them, these problems would have shown up long before now. Maybe he's just not recruiting the right kind of players for his style of coaching.

                  Sherfield got into a verbal with Marshall, stormed off and out of practice and said he was done, then came back the next day to work it out.

                  Something like that. Cliff's notes.

                  Definitely not an internet rumor though.

                  • NCAA suspends all recruiting in Division I through April 15

                    https://www.espn.com/college-sports/story/_/id/28898566

                    How would like to be the athlete who just enter the transfer portal and can now have zero contact with potential transfer schools?

                        Bob barely moves anymore and hardly yells at all.

                          He is into the social media garbage and so forth. He told me ES had posted something cryptic yet foretelling on Twitter.
                          Not to out do your son but I called Erik transferring around the beginning of the season.

                          • We all have no idea what happens at practices. I know I don’t. But, let’s say during the “good” years, we see berating of players during a game, but during practice there’s a good amount of support and encouragement taking place. Then, enter some “tougher years” where those in charge haven’t necessarily been before, and when things started getting rough, the same behavior takes place during games, but practices turn into non-supportive, discouraging gripe sessions. Maybe things start getting personal where players who were willing to accept certain aspects of “hard coaching”, but not willing to accept personal attacks. I don’t know anything more than anyone else, but it seems plausible, and somewhat likely in my mind.

                              Zero chance of Marshall to UNC, and not from Marshall's end of the concern.

                                They will hire in the UNC family. Book it.
