The Annual HCGM's WSU Future

[shocka khan]

Based on what we've seen and heard from Marshall for years, I'd say he would expect his players to stay and help smooth over the transition for the new guy. They wouldn't all bolt. They would stick around and they would even work on getting the recruits to stay true. The new coach would be getting a dream gig.

Agreed. There were many a few years ago who thought HCMT crapped his old nest prior to flying the coop.

I don't think anyone will be able to say that if HCGM leaves, I bet he'll help us hold everything together IF he leaves.

I may be overly optimistic, but I see this a good news. A good AD doesn't announce the current firing with a press conference without having a replacement in his back pocket, unless they feel it may be a while until a signing occurs. Then they have to announce the process.

Does this mean Turg is headed to Texas A&M???

If true, sad for VCU but I can't help but feel good for us!

If true and Smart doesn't take it, I don't see Marshall accepting sloppy 2nds.

He has said as much before, but..........

@Kerri8News: I'm told #VCU working w/his agent to try to get him to stay "@LK2CHAT @mitchcarrtv @Kerri8News so vcu trying to get the money to match tx?"

[AndShock]

VCU deserves to lose their coach with their fans' constant accusations of Marshall and WSU running a dirty program.

Or Smart's agent is....well...Smart and is trying to use this to get him a raise

[Dave Stalwart]

Let there be no confusion. Smart was never #1 on the list. He became number one after plan A declined :)
