Part of me was just laughing at the possible irony of Marshal following Turg once again. This is a fan message board so here it goes...
I believe Marshall has to big of an ego to regress to a small school. One of the many reasons he didn't take the Texas job was he would never be the big dog on campus. Football rules the day...every day. At Maryland football is very pedestrian like. They play in a bowl game about every three years or so. The Peach Bowl level is nothing to brag about. At Maryland Marshall could and would be the big man on campus. In terms of a university taking a chance on him...come on...I am not comparing Marshall to Bruce Peal at all, but Maryland is not any different than Tennessee or Auburn. If they feel like a coach can come in, win, and more importantly win games in the NCAA Tournament, they will take a chance. Let's not fool ourselves.

I could be wrong, but Maryland probably considers him damaged goods, and they are above him now.Wichita State, home of the All-Americans.

Well, we know Marshall is a liar. He may just not be good at it like Bruce Pearl.

Well GM didn't have such a big ego to come to WSU, and stay here when he could have moved on.

The point was that Bruce Pearl paid his players at Tennessee and still pays them at Auburn. Point out when GM paid his players. He has always been respectful of this community.

3 different teams in 15 seasons (no tourney in 2020 that he 100% was in) made 10 NCAAs. In the B1G 7 seasons, 6 NCAAs (the other bubble) one 1st, two 2nds & a 3rd. He's not in the elite class of coaches, but he's in the next group below elite and would have been an incredible hire. And that hire would have pissed off a lot of fans. And my guess is Mark would have fixed that within the first year, if not the first press conference.

Maryland seems like a place that would have no issues hiring GM and telling detractors to go pound sand, if that's who they wanted. And I'm fine with that.
All it takes is for a program to do it, and you may be surprised how quickly things are forgiven, errrrrrr forgotten."When life hands you lemons, make lemonade." Better have some sugar and water too, or else your lemonade will suck!
