The Search for a New Men's Basketball Coach has begun

I don’t recall marshalls teams ever being loaded with high level recruits, especially not before the final four run. Even after that I seem to recall mostly three stars, transfers, and juco guys. The guy knows how to coach and get the best out of their talents though.

Doesn’t matter though, I’d put my money in an asteroid hitting the earth tomorrow before I’d put money in Marshall getting hired here.

We are not desperate enough to hire someone like Marshall

Desperate? We passed desperate a few years ago! Just win! People get second chances for stuff that was far worse than Gregg Marshall’s alleged behavior. If he gets us to a final four after smacking a Niner player across his head who had one coming…I’d be ok with that.

They get those chances when they can do the job still. Bobby Knight got his 23 years ago and recruiting was quite different. If Marshall was still thought to be able to do his then he would not of been out of coaching for what appears will be four seasons now. In that time been over 150 coaching changes and not one job offer. That says all I need to know about where he stands.

It’s all moot because he isn’t getting hired here.

Another important consideration in hiring.

A great coach can fall out of bed from an 4 year coma, and get more out of a team than Ron Sanchez.

Football Bill Parcels took 3 years off twice. He was a mean, intimidating coach who is probably Top 5, ever.

We don’t know what Marshall was contacted for coaching gigs and passed, do we?

How the hell would you know that? Prove it

If you don’t believe it, take a poll and see how many people wants Marshall. If I’m wrong, I’ll take it back and apologize.

Like I know how to poll, but make it a simple one. 2 choices. Gregg Marshall or Ron Sanchez

I will help you out with that, but its not Marshall vs Sanchez, but Marshall vs any other candidate.

  • Any other coach candidate
  • Marshall

Forgot that Josh Pastner was now available, he had a great record at Memphis…. Also known as a good recruiter.

I do.

I’d do just about anything if it would get us back to the NCAA tournament. I’m extremely desperate.

Kelvin Sampson is the model for success in AAC; Marshall, Haith & Pastner are those type of candidates.

Hopefully Hill is considering this type of approach.

Chris Mack really crept up in the odds.

I’d be good with NinerMack
