Who should be Wichita State's Head Coach?

[Stickboy46]

Fun responses to Taylor's recent tweets. Some highlights:

One guy who thinks "playing angry" and just watching film from the Marshall years will impart talent by osmosis to a team that can't shoot, can't score, and is becoming increasingly worse on defense.

One guy who called Saal a "Do Nothing" AD.

One guy who thinks IB wearing a polo is the reason the team is doing poorly (and threw in a Remember the Titans reference to boot).

Man this is exhausting.

All 3 people who have likely never donated a dollar to WSU at any point.

Impossible. ESPN analysts say we have a very knowledgeable fan base.

Thankfully none of those quotes were mine.

P.S. I have to watch 'Weekend at Bernies' again soon... what a hoot!

Or you could just flip on the news.

If we have another incident (violence against players or domestic violence), the consequences could be far worse than what we saw with Marshall. That's just the way the cookie crumbles. Look at SMU. They just got probation for paying players in 1980, but the next time they got with a repeat violator clause and had their entire next season canceled. Or look at Louisville, who followed up the 2015 sex scandal with recruiting violations. We see the results they are getting on the court. Or look at Indiana, who slapped Bob Knight on the wrist in 2000 after investigating and shortly thereafter fired him. They went from a blue blood to an also-ran and have yet to recover.

The public scrutiny of a university is much higher on a repeated violations. It is extremely difficult to recover from a reputation. As Bush once said: "There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again."

One of the dumbest and most out of touch posts in a long time. You have to be a troll.

What happened to SMU will never happen to anyone again, short of something unthinkable happening.

Louisville isn't paying for what happened 8 years ago.

Indiana hasn't had a coach anywhere near as good as Knight and that's not because of that incident.

WSU is where it's at because we gifted the job to a bad coach, not because of any perception issues.

If we were to hire Beard, he wouldn't be here long, but he would right the ship. Once a few years passed and he had success we would be in better shape for the next guy and he would be back to coaching at a P5 school.

It would be easier for WSU to recover from an incident of any kind if we were successful than to recover from a bad hire who puts a shitty product on the floor and has the personality of a tuna can and drives fans away.

Who the top YMCA coach around here? That would be an improvement over what we have now

I'm a suit-and-tie guy all the way, but that's not why IB isn't succeeding.

MSM channels are pure comedy and have no other value

You never know, he might welcome being the BMOC, and not living under the shadow of a football program. He isn't a young coach trying to make a name for himself just so he can move on. Also Kansas isn't so far from his home state of Texas. There's a lot of perks beyond $ to staying at WSU for awhile.

Beard is a Texas Centric guy who thinks Oklahoma is simply North Texas and Kansas is somewhere near Canada.

maybe so, but his first head coaching job was Ft. Scott CC in Kansas. Also, 3G was married to South Carolina before coming to WSU.

The Administration needs to figure out how to manage the PR and talk to to whomever needs to be talked to.

Then re hire Marshall in April. (assuming he would want to coach at this point).

You don’t understand the arrogance of a Texas bred coach. This guy is an Austin pure blood.

it’s dumb to talk even about. The guy is completely radioactive and is facing legal charges.

Not if the DA drops the case.
