Who should be Wichita State's Head Coach?

[Atxshoxfan]

I think his point is he believe Saal probably already know who he is hiring, not that WSU has been turned down by anybody.

I believe Saal has 1 or 2 he has negotiated basic terms with verbally. Now just waiting to end their season(s), cross the t's and dot the I's. But for Lutz to name a few with a margin for error is laughable. He knows nothing.

The Buy Out amount for Jans might be steep. Anybody researched that? I have no idea but he just signed the big contract last year. That might be the biggest obstacle for hiring CJ.

tried a quick google search and nothing came up at all. Just that he was making 2.4 million annually on a 4 year deal

WuDrWu mentioned the buyout was quite large.

I doubt it will be Jans, but I can't bit I'm closer to 75% on that than 99.999%.

I think Turgeon is a possibility although not sure that is our best move. Adrian Griffin might be a bit of a long shot as well but nowhere close to a sure thing no suggest buy Lutz.

So I think Lutz is probably correct that Turgeon, Griffin, Jans and Forbes will probably not be the next WSU coach. But if he is truly 99.999% sure than he has some inside information the rest of us are not privy to.

If we are getting multiple turn downs then Saal was premature in his decision making.

He probably made the decision in 2022, before the team was playing better, yes. So if that was the case, then to say "thanks, but no thanks" to a potential All-AAC performer or two (I said potential) on a team that might win 20+ games (I said might) next season means the boss better have something better...

He said "HE'S 99.999 percent sure" ... which makes it's 1.2% accurate.

75% of the time.

No one has been able to find it. I asked Taylor and he hasn't found it either but is searching for a copy of the contract.

For reference, the names of the noted individuals alongside some more familiar names:

Chris Jans (age 53) - .7454
Darian DeVries (age 47) - .7219
Gregg Marshall (age 60) - .7202
Steve Forbes (age 57) - .6870
Mark Turgeon (age 58) - .6353
Isaac Brown (age 53) - .5875
Paul Mills (age 50) - .5608
Kellen Sampson (age 37) - N/A

I'm not making an argument for anyone here, but I am making an argument against Paul Mills. I don't think we want any coach with an overall win-percentage lower than Brown's. Not that win percentages are all equal, but I think that is a clear line in the sand. One lucky Sweet 16 run and one solid year shouldn't erase the fact that five out of six years Mills finished 3rd or worse in the Summit League.

Nooooow you're making some sense.

MVC/Drake fans on twitter seem to think WSU has no chance to get DeVries as they said he wouldn't wanna go to a school as the same status of Drake

That’s an embarrassingly bad take, even for Twitter.

[ShockerFever]

Since Marshall, I'd say that is pretty much true. Didn't they beat us recently in the NCAA tournament?

So St Peters is on the same level as Kentucky?

Come on man.

I implore you to follow the elite Isaac Brown onto his next coaching venture and pollute the **** out of that board.

Not really, but............if we had played them in each of the last 2 years, are you sure we would have swept them?

I would if it meant getting away from you, but then again, they don't call you dingleberry for nothing. So **** you dingleberry. No wonder what I post on here is beyond your comprehension.

Here's your translation (can I like my own posts?):

[Kung Wu]

You can take any four head and/or assistant coaches out there, then say you are 99.999% sure it won't be them. There is a 4 out of 600 chance of you being wrong, and since you will probably be right you can walk around like you knew something. Soooo lame and obvious.

If you want to prove you know something, tell us one of the four coaches it WILL be.

Why do people get their panties in a bunch reading blob loots bilge. Acknowledging his ramblings give him a platform. If people didn’t reference his opinings I would not know what he says and be better for it.
