Coach Gregg Marshall Investigation

[WstateU]

The perfect candidate will be available, hire Gregg Marshall and give him an 8 year rolling contract and pay the man 4.5 million a year.

Gregg Marshall is a good man. I'm sorry if I require a bit more substantive proof for something that allegedly happened a long time ago.
The vigorous way ******* and his contacts have gone after Gregg Marshall is a sad commentary on the role some "journalists" view they have. The endgame to *******'s efforts was always about his personal agenda against Marshall. Shaq was a pawn. It was never about him or Erik Stevenson.
When I saw Pat Forde talk about "Toxic Masculinity" I knew they were just trying to push certain "hot buttons" to make Gregg Marshall's firing a political statement by tying it into "Me Too"... The same with Jeff *******'s insistence that Gregg Marshall is a bigoted racist. He wants to tie Gregg Marshall's job status into BLM.

PLEASE Athletic Director Boatright... PLEASE DO NOT LET THIS MANUFACTURED 'CANCEL CULTURE' NARRATIVE FORCE YOUR HAND.

This madness needs to stop.

I’m surprised at the lack of emotion one way or the other I am experiencing over this news. I don’t however have a lot of confidence in the current university administrative make-up to not **** this up going forward.

I stayed up until 2:40 AM on the 4th, upset at what was going on with the election. I stayed up until 2 :10 this morning.

It’s 2020. This **** is par for the course now.

I think people are just numb, expected the worst, or both.

When it first came out, I figured he was gone for sure. As it drug on, I wasn't so sure. Especially when the big money people stood behind him. If there's some kind of negotiated settlement, I've got to think the money people are behind it. If they aren't I don't know how you buy him out and how you come up with enough money to hire a decent replacement.

If they make a hire this fall, they better be sure they get the person they want rather than hiring someone just to make everyone feel better. There are sure to be plenty more coaches available in the spring. We may be one bad hire away from the 90's, although I'd like to think the program is in a much better place than at the time Cohen was hired. The other side is that we're one good hire away from this being a blip on the radar.

If Marshall is gone, I'm sorry to see him go, but if the allegations are true, I honestly don't see any other outcome. I think he'll get another chance somewhere in a couple years, and I think he deserves that chance. He's built WSU into a national name and is the main reason we're no longer in the Valley. WSU is in a much better place than when he started, and I would think in a much better place to hire a good replacement.

"Never make an important decision when you are hungry, angry, sad, or lonely."

It would be unwise to hire a permanent replacement at this point for many reasons, but you don't do it just to have a coach. Having Isaac Brown take over as the interim head coach seems to me to be the best course of action, assuming the reports of Marshall's departure are true.

Am I the only one who is not convinced that this is a done deal? Local media is only quoting *******, no one else. Hell Taylor, our local beat writer, can't even confirm it. All this seems a bit strange.

They just did a multi month long investigation. You don't do a multi month long investigation and then still fire the coach unless that investigation found evidence that was "substantive proof"

Well according to Taylor, Marshall hasn't been at practice this week for "personal reasons" ... so either that's a sign it's true, or its a sign that someone else is misinterpreting that.

I missed that. He hasn't been at practice?

I'll go ahead and place my rose colored glasses back on the nightstand, right next the bottle of whiskey.

[Shocker Mama]

I am waiting for an official announcement.

[BostonWu]

Interesting as well, Rashard Kelly advocating very heavily for Isaac Brown to get the job. He said if you have a coach on the sidelines who lets players express themselves the team will essentially blossom. He mentions Forbes, jans, Heir, and Isaac Brown.

LOL...

[Kung Wu]

Uuuugh. What school is he interviewing at?
