Possible. (I assume you're referring to Okon or Smith) I think it was in an article somewhere the past month that Marshall prefers guys who have been head coaches, but obviously that hasn't been a deal-breaker (Grant, Dollar, Ford, Turner). -
Yes, Matt's lack of experience may hold him back for now. He simply hasn't had the time to build up his network.
I believe the following accurately summarizes Matt's resume:
Wichita State - HC Gregg Marshall: Graduate assistant - 2 years. No recruiting and probably no real significant coaching experience but obviously knows how Coach Marshall operates.
Midland College - Assistant Coach - 1 year. Midland went 33-4 and reached the NJCAA Division I national championship game.
Maryland - HC Mark Turgeon - 2 years. Video Coordinator responsible for assisting with scouting, game preparation and video analysis of Maryland practices and games.
Again no recruiting responsibilities.
Sam Houston State - HC Jason Hooten - 1 year. Assistant Coach.
So yeah, Matt, is pretty light on actual recruiting experience.Comment

It was talked about briefly on the Coach's show last night. It doesn't seem like it is anything 3G is overly concerned with and that the biggest problem Coach Marshall will is the abundance of candidates he has and/or will have to sort through.Comment

I believe Jans was an assistant coach for 2 or 3 years before being named the Associate Head Coach. I believe all the current assistant coaches and the new hire will all be Assistant Coaches until 3G decides down the road could be a year or two, who will be named Associate Head Coach. Maybe a major recruit's daddy or coach or something of that sort :rolleyes:Comment

I heard that Steve Eck was interested.Comment

Chris Jans completed his 22nd year as a collegiate basketball coach and 7th with Wichita State this year. He was promoted to Associate Head Coach in 2011-12. So he was on 3G's staff for 4 years before being promoted to Associate Head Coach.
Talk about a guy who has paid his dues. He has earned his shot at a D-1 head coaching job.
Steve Forbes has been in collegiate coaching game for 25 years. A very, very experienced and seasoned assistant.
I think Greg Heiar has at least 11 seasons of experience including 5 years as HC at Chipola Junior College. He was 164-15 as HC of Chipola.Comment

If things don't pan out for Barry Hinson at SIU and he's looking for a nice gig that pays more than his HC position, it would be awesome to have him as associate head coach in a couple years.Comment

Unlikely. If Barry takes another assistant Coaching gig it won't be in the valley.Originally posted by _kai_ View Post
