Fire the coaching staff

[Aargh]

If this continues to go off the rails, it brings up the old question “Can you afford to/Can you afford not to?”

Muma can make this happen. The athletic department is going to have to borrow money from WSU. The fans and donors are unlikely to put up any money until they see who their money is going to. Marshall and Stephenson were both outstanding at getting the money guys to write checks. Finding other coaches who can do that is part of the challenge.

Muma was around during Bardo's time and saw how Bardo used Marshall's success to build WSU. I have several friends who were high-ranking profs at that time and they assure me that Muma has no problem making difficult decisions that affect the future of WSU. Muma's handling of Boatright and hiring Saal support their positions.

On the academic side it will be incredibly unpopular to take funds from the endowment and "borrow" them to the athletic department. If Muma thinks he can handle that reaction or convince the academics that athletics support them, then the money can be there to make a change after this season. I'm leaning toward Muma telling Saal to do whatever he thinks is needed in his department and that one way or another the money will be there.

Muma and Saal both strike me as people who will not accept mediocrity in any aspect that affects WSU.

If there is a coaching change after this season and no reports of big $$ donors kicking in, Muma is going to take the most incredible heat you can imagine from the academic side.

I’m so disappointed that Abbide can’t get on the court and Okafor can’t produce like a legit player, which makes us watch Rojas single handedly erase any good he does with the most bone head plays i’ve ever seen.

isn’t anything to say that hasn’t been said.

Unless the AD and or President come out and say they can’t afford to fire someone I don’t want to hear WSU can’t afford it. Only those on the inside truly know.

He’s got to go NOW. This is just becoming a total embarrassment

Yes there is:

”You’re fired”

Fired that incompetent idiot immediately. Take out a loan to pay him off…gofund me, bake sale…anything.

With all the turnovers WSU is giving out today, you would think they already started the bake sale

[FadedCrown]

Billboard time?

[Veritas]

Amazing how quickly the program has been dismantled, crapped on, flushed away, and now simply buried. Every single coach on that bench puts me to sleep.
At least show you give a crap IB or just freakin’ quit!.

I’m willing to write a HUGE check, as long as they don’t try to cash it.

If I win the lottery, it's covered

Maybe the next time the lottery gets into the hundreds of millions we all go in together. If we win, we keep half and tell Saal he can have the other half to fix the program.
