The Annual HCGM's WSU Future

[shocktheheart]

Though names like Gregg Marshall and Buzz Williams have been mentioned as high-profile possibilities, a source told CBS Sports that Memphis officials were certain from the jump they couldn't do enough to lure Marshall from Wichita State, and they're skeptical they could do enough to lure Williams from Virginia Tech -- though a source told CBS Sports that Memphis has at least tried to gauge Williams' level of possible interest, to some degree. Regardless, the school is now focused on candidates it feels it can reasonably expect to get, and Smith headlines that list, a source told CBS Sports.

Looks like it will be Tubby

Wichita State coach turns down job a successful Big 12 coach takes? Can't take for the granted what a great statement that is about WSU.

That guy has dug himself a pretty big hole in the past few days. He's got a long ways to go before he crawls out.

So wait, Memphis didn't even reach out to Marshall? They didn't even consider him a viable option???? Wow, no way!! GTFO!!!

I can imagine those conversations ..

"Wait .. he's getting paid HOW MUCH? and gets all those perks too? ....... *Silence* ... Who is option 2? ..... Ok, lets wait like 5 days to make it seem like we contacted Marshall then just move on to number 2"

Or, maybe, WSU coach not contacted because program knows they have no effing chance, despite what dips#!+ reporters tweet.

That's exactly what Parish says a Memphis source told him, in a CBS Sports article he just posted.

Somebody figured it out!!!

Or maybe we aren't as popular as we think and top candidates aren't knocking down our door.

All the good candidates already tried to get the legendary UNLV opening.

I agree with this. Outside the usual speculation from fans, talk radio and a part time reporter on a local TV show in Wichita, KS--there was no evidence whatsoever Memphis was going after Marshall. And while we can debate all day whether or not Memphis is a better job than WSU, it's not a better job for Gregg Marshall.

I think I read something about Clemson on this thread, but I refuse to go back to see who wrote it, as that would be like feeding the trolls.

This has turned into high-class comedy hour.

And we all saw it coming.

Any Memphis lurkers around? Probably not.
