Why Marshall Won't Leave WSU

[wufan]

If, and I mean if, Marshall leaves, I'm fairly certain there are a high number of the big donors who will want Jans. They love the guy. Hire Jans, keep Heier, and keep the continuity of what we have. Many of the big time recruits we have had have been because of those two guys. And there are many in the know that say from a strategy standpoint, Jans was the guy who stirred the drink.

Jans was in Cleveland this weekend. It was like a long lost son had finally returned home. The donors love the guy.

If Marshall goes I think Heier goes too.

I'm skeptical. Wouldn't that make Marshall the second highest paid coach in NCAA basketball?

No effing way they pay their next coach anywhere close to $4.7 millIon... Just don't make sense

Let's say hypothetically Texas has narrowed their choice to GM and Shaka Smart, and both want the job, and both are willing to accept the same number. All things being equal, I have to think Texas' first choice would be Smart. He's about 15 years younger. Thoughts?

I might be wrong but I don't think GM would make Heier his head assistant. Jans would. Jans and Heier are tight.

When you write out 5,000,000 you realize that's a bunch of zeros. Then you realize NCAA execs are making a ton of money too. Then you realize the actual product, the players, are the ONLY ones without guaranteed four year contracts, buy-outs, salaries, and the only ones without the ability to profit on their likeness. Coaches can all pursue any sponsorships they want.

I don't know that I have a solution, but it makes you think something is fishy!

True... and all this time all I wanted was an IBA watch party and an Evan Wessel Almighty Burger.

[pinstripers]

Marshall would take Anthony Grant or Moton and also keep the Lucas kid.

That video does make you think of man ready to look at his future.. Saying he wants Fred and Ron to make the best decision they can for themselves.... This **** has the potential to blow up real fast

Nope. I think they want a winner and Marshall is a better winner. Gregg has 10-15 years left. That's quite a run.

Not sure from Texas' eyes that GM would be viewed as a better winner. Maybe. Smart has been able to sign better recruiting classes, on paper at least.

Doesnt matter. You dont play games on paper. Marshall has had better results

Once we start seeing tweets about an unplanned team meeting, then we will know. And if he goes, I am sooo not interested in any sort of farewell press conference. Just skulk away.

Leave Angry!

team meetings are the give away. But, I'm thinking HCGM doesn't want to coach another 10+ years. He is better off here than starting over in Texas

[another shocker]

life is full of curveballs, but i can't believe, don't want to believe, that marshall would leave before van vleet's senior year. for non-basketball texas? they damn near hate college basketball down there.

that uk job is his in 2/3 years. (he's a proud south carolina guy- unc is deplorable to him, so x that one off the list)

I always agree with you...until here. THE MAN has given us everything...he does not owe his life here. No skulking...celebration of greatness.
