Fred go get Marshall now

Then he should have said prefer not to play, not guarantee would never. See the difference? Words have meanings.
At the end of the day it doesn't really matter what I think. What matters is what the decision makers think. And those people overwhelmingly prefer Alford over Marshall. It's not even close.
But I will say I agree with them if we look at this in a bubble. If I had to choose between only Alford and Marshall give me Alford all day every day. There's a reason he's coaching at UCLA. He's a good coach.
Knight wanted the neutral site annual games with UK because it would offer more people of each state the opportunity to see such a great rivalry.
Marshall is a better coach than Calipari, yes. Perspective. Lots of coaches can win an NCAA title with half the NBA on their team every year. Compare Cal to Wooden, because he was a guy who got all the talent to come to his school.

Marshall lost by the way. Lots of teams and coaches are close all the time. Winning is what matters- if done fairly
It sound like his wife might be an issue as well
Not an assumption, no. I think he would be a great fit at IU but if I were a WSU fan, I'd be pretty riled by the talk of it.
Could see our porous defense in the highlights inspire of the win. Knife through warm butter.
We're talking about the same guy that was likely to be fired from UCLA last year? The same guy who gave back the bonuses in his contract and penned a letter of apology to the fans for how awful the team was? THAT coach is the one we want?
Marshall was making late changes on D from man, to 1-3-1 zone without stopping the game. That caused UK so many frustrations and slowed the game down. We need a coach that understands how to defend teams. I just don't understand what from Alford's 16 years as a coach shows anything one could call "successful". We can't get caught up in the lure of the hometown kid. This might be his best year and when you look at it, they're a mere 3 seed.........at UCLA. We know what his limitation at a blue blood is. Why sign up for that?
Interesting handle you have Richard. Richard Cory was a great poem turned into a pretty good song by Paul Simon. Is there a story behind why you chose this handle?
"Richard Cory went home last night and put a bullet through his head."
Hopefully all this talk and Alford is just a waste of time and we get Donovan. I really don't want Alford but if they hire him we really have no choice than give him a chance to see what he does here.
for those fans that don't want Alford, I would suggest making alot of noise about it now rather than later.
Nothing more basic and cliche than starting a "omg hire xyz coach" right after you watch him once on tv
No story, I am aware of the poem and the song. I would assume my parents were not aware.
Good point. But being strange and eccentric doesn't mean that one will be strange and eccentric to the point of being offensive enough to be fired. As far as I know, Wichita State has not had any behavioral issues with Coach Marshall.
And to be fair... being strange and eccentric also doesn't mean we'd hang another three banners.
