Why Marshall Won't Leave WSU

[another shocker]

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.

no. i like jans too, but marshall is/was the guy that stirs the drink.

A couple of things:

I can also confirm that I've heard Jans was as big of a reason for our success as Marshall, specifically when it came to recruiting, scouting, and game planning.

Gregg doesn't owe anyone in Wichita a damn thing. If he leaves, so be it, and I wish him the best. All of the success and notoriety we've attained over the last few years is something that we cannot ever repay.

[shock]

It is what it is... There are very few Mark fews... No pun intended... But coaches go where they want.... When things get complacent and they feel their goals can be easily reached else where.... Wichita state is like Butler, Xavier and others where where we lost our coach, we have built a reputation as a place to come that has community and financial support out the wazoo.. Wish we still had Jim Schaus but life goes on

you need to knock off the depressing bullcrap. its borderline trolling. HCGM has not indicated his decision yet. We will be fine.

[DUShock]

I don't think HCGM owes Wichita anything. Assuming he would depart for Austin, I feel that HCGM shouldn't do a departing pressed in Wichita. There will be plenty of opportunities to ask questions when he doing his Austin junket. We need to be focused on the future and securing the best right fit for Wichita State. Regardless of what happens, I wish HCGM and his family well.

Go Shocks!

shaka smart is only 37 yrs old? there's your man, texas u.!!

[DUShock]

Seems like they want Virigina or Arizona but as I said earlier, this is loco as both of these basketball schools have the resources to keep any coach they want to keep.

marshall could lose an assistant per year and still avg 27 wins per season, wherever he was at.

jans is great, everybody here knows it, without needing inside info. but marshall is the man. he leads the practice, the game, everything.

Marshall trusted Jans more and more each year they were together. However, Jans is not ready for a big time program.

Some of you guys are silly. If Coach Marshall leaves then you celebrate everything wonderful he did for WSU and go find the next guy.

If Marshall thinks Jans is ready, then you hire Jans. If he thinks Jans needs more seasoning, then you find someone else. I would personally take his recommendation on the next coach. Even if he left, he would hardly want WSU to fall apart without him.

In other words, you trust 3G's recommendation more than Scott Thompson's (Cohen)?

Jans
Moton NCCU
White LaTech
Underwood SFA (McPherson native, but also played at KSU and u know it won't be too long before they are looking again).
Prohm Murray State

I bet that Underwood, White, and Prohm will all be at least mentioned as possibilities for the SEC jobs.

That's who I would look at. Too bad Cooper sort of struggled last few years.

Underwood has two seasons as a head coach. At 51. Long way from a proven track record, IMO.

I would trust 3G's son's recommendation more.

[im4wsu]

Try looking at it this way. Three major coaching jobs become available and your name is at the top of the list for all three. If you accept one of the three , I doubt you name would be at the top of the wishlist for job openings in the next five years. In other words, he is at the pinnacle at Wichita State...the hottest commodity...and still has goals/objectives to fulfill. He may make more money elsewhere (even questionable), but you can guarantee that he will not be recognized and loved by a larger percentage of the population in any other city than he is in Wichita. btw, you know there are 100 times as many dumb call-in show questioners in Austin/Tuscaloosa/Knoxville than even in Wichita (not comparing percentages here).

Check the quote of Marshall in my sig line...winning is everything.

twitter saying brad underwood is a candidate for jobs, who is he?

My guess is Brad Underwood will hold out for the K-State job which very possibly will open up in a year.

[1972Shocker]

Marshall will leave, let's just hope he doesn't take Baker or others with him.

Not his M.O. Not sure what Ron's interest in a graduate degree is. He is majoring in Business Finance at WSU. If he transfers he has to enroll in a grad program that WSU does not offer.

When 3G left Winthrop for WSU he refused to even consider bringing any players with him. Either current payers or recruits saying it just would not be right.
