"I not sure that I've ever been around a more competitive player or young man than Fred VanVleet. I like to win more than 99.9% of the people in this world, but he may top me." -- Gregg Marshall 12/23/13 :peaceful:

Remember when Nancy Pelosi said about Obamacare:
"We have to pass it, to find out what's in it".
A physician called into a radio show and said:
"That's the definition of a stool sample."

He was in line for a pay raise even if the current events surrounding open coaching positions had not arisen. He can certainly leverage this situation into a maximum pay raise at Wichita State but ADES is publicly on record as saying there are limits on what WSU can do in terms of compensation.

Originally posted by Slalomshocker View PostAlabama being so loud about it is what makes it all not add up. They are being loud to try and initiate interest within their fan base. Downside- if they don't get their man.....they fall even further off the map with their fans....if they are even on the map to begin with.Originally posted by SHOCKvalue View PostBama has been about as intentionally 'loud' as is humanly possible from a media/PR perspective in their attempts to corral Marshall. It should be no surprise that they also now want the world to know that their AD is flying in to Wichita today. They have broadcast every minutia they have made.
You don't think that for every other P5 school that has tried to woo him in the past (a laundry list of jobs - each one essentially better than Bama) there hasn't been stuff like this going on? Sure there has, it just wasn't public knowledge because it wasn't the loud, obnoxious, heavy-on-the-makeup 300 pound pageant mom doing the courting, as we have here.
Bama is basically screaming from the rooftops the same due diligence steps that every school does under cover of media darkness.
I bet he said they'd have to come here because he is really busy with a coach's show with a dial up phone and a computer running Windows 95 that he has to be at tonight.
We've been having to put up with the awful phone calls and the technical difficulties all this team as part of his master plan to build up for the moment he burned Alabama by saying this crappy production was more important to him than their huge offer. He is a master.

I think it is the latter or your two possibilities.

I haven't seen this idea floated.. but lets say that Marshall DOES have serious interest in Texas. Hypothetically. The report over the weekend has consistently been. "Texas wants Smart, 3G told Alabama that he wasn't interested because he wanted Texas."
Well Marshall setting a public meeting with Alabama signals to Texas that the Horns may need to act a little bit quicker and get more serious about 3G, rather than just eyeing Smart and seeing where the chips fall. Big IF, but it could be a ploy to force Texas' hand.

Maybe similar to the recruiting situation for college football in the 90's when Colorado was pretty good. You may not have any interest in playing at Colorado, but you certainly take their recruiting trip, if you know what I mean. Maybe Gregg is just enjoying the courtship :)
