Who should be Wichita State's Head Coach?

[newshock1234]

Turgeon for sure is a safe hire, i prefer to take a chance on someone else like DeVries or Sampson but maybe paying other 2 other coaches, safe might be the best option in ADKS mind

That's what I mean. If in the press conference, I get the feeling he is 100% in AND he truly believes WSU can succeed at the highest "level", that would get me revved up to the idea of him coming back.

Lol I know. I was more just poking fun at his interview style. He never did get me pumped hearing him talk. But he would get pretty damn animated on the sidelines at times and get me pumped.

Of course, after 3 years of hearing Brown talk.......maybe I WOULD get pumped after an interview with Turgeon. Lol

Browns a good dude, but man.......he could put me to sleep....

I also wonder if we could get him "cheaper" than some others. Just because of his current situation and not really NEEDING to coach...etc.

Not saying that should be THE deciding factor. You still do anything you can to get the absolute best coach you can....no matter what.

But it could be a factor?!

What has Devries done? He recruited his son but who did he recruit at Creighton? Turgeon is younger than Marshall. If he gets fired up, he's got at least 10 years.

Turgeon has already said no, Jan’s has big time recruits and probably a restructured contract, Sampson will stay with dad until he retires and Marshall is not an option. I personally think our AD has been in contact with coaches he might be familiar with from the conference he was at before.

Jans has big time recruits

That's cool, he can bring them along :)

Well, you must be the most well connected person around here. Step your game up WuDrWu !

I mean you could be correct, and most of what you said is pretty easy to believe/predict.

But I sure hope our AD thinks bigger than just sticking with "the conference he was in before"

One day away from seeing the next chapter of Nate The Great

Such a great show. Almost forgot we have more tonight/tomorrow!

Pat Kelsey is rhe best man four the job. He is part of the Chris Mack coaching tree and was the starting point guard at Xavier. He is energetic, exudes the fire we need to return Wichita to greatness. In eleven seasons he has won five regular season titles, four tournament titles with a 67% winning percentage. He just signed a new five year contract at $ 1 M per with a $ 1 M buyout, but he is the best fit for our new coach

I could definitely get behind this. But what is his aspiration? He was at Winthrop quite a while, so he isn't a jumper. Which is a good and bad thing. Might be hard to get him?

Definitely a guy I hope they contact.

Not saying Kelsey isn't a great coach, but your grammar leaves something to be desired.

3G is too toxic for anyone outside of part of the fan base that still loves him. We need to stop looking in the rearview mirror.

you must not like winning Dan.

You never know who is lurking in the shadows of those talked about.

I'd love it, but I think the 3g bashing has many fans opposed to that. Which means that WSU wouldn't get full support that they once had. Whereas the right guy may have that ability.

Loved him here. Have a gut feeling if this really happened… it wouldn’t work out.

I kind of think the same thing is about to happen with Beard at Ole Miss.
