I dont want to go after another god damn big name coach. This guy would satisfy me as long as we don't embarass ourselves anymore by going big and failing....which WILL happen.

No way in hell Calipari wasn't using us.


we just got totally pwnt

4/11/2006 8:39:08 PM

they said you would get suspended for this shit

4/11/2006 8:40:23 PM

i guess this is pay back for that closing stunt we pulled on the media

4/11/2006 8:40:27 PM

They will not suspend me for a pro-Gregg Marshall thread. I sincerely want him to come here.

4/11/2006 8:42:42 PM

if we're going to get a guy from a smaller conference, one from the Big South would be on the bottom of my list.

Sure takes a lot to beat UNCA and VMI each year.

I just want someone who can come in here and coach and not piss their pants when Duke and UNC come to town. He's a firey guy and gets the most out of very little at winthrop, and he's been two buzzer beaters away from the second round of the NCAA tournament the past two years.

4/11/2006 9:09:37 PM

this man is tops on my list now. we should take a cue from Oklahoma and hire a young guy with energy and enthusiasm whose used to winning at all levels.

4/11/2006 10:44:24 PM

i think marshall would be a risk, but i also agree he has a huge upside. he has done some pretty special things at winthrop and even though he is always a 16 or 15 seed, always seems to give the big boys a good game. i know charlotte backed out of a game with them this year. he's got to be the top guy now.

4/11/2006 10:47:05 PM

I agree... go for Marshall!

after reading about how the guys he recruited at CofC turned out, I feel a lot better about him.

He had more players in the NBA than Herb (well, until Grundy got called up).

another good tibit on marshall

4/11/2006 10:50:59 PM

this is my candidate for a lesser known coach

4/11/2006 10:52:08 PM

you dont run a fucking coach out of town when you dont have someone waiting to get in

4/11/2006 10:53:53 PM

lets just cut this guy a check and get on with it.

i would take marshall if we can't get gillispie. i'd rather have gillispie though

4/12/2006 10:52:05 AM

^ I'd look at a Turgeon buyout before i called Marshall as well.


I would be happy to give him a shot if we looked at Gillispie and Turgeon first

I think Marshall is a great coach, but he's more of a "project" than the other two. I think he'd have a huge upside, just not as ready as the other two

[Edited on April 12, 2006 at 10:55 AM. Reason : ]

4/12/2006 10:53:57 AM

I figure Turgeon's out since they inked a long term deal just now.

4/12/2006 11:01:01 AM

Yeah, I didn't read about the deal but I know it was just signed.


No idea how long it is or what the buyout might be, just a name I threw out there that we should look into now

4/12/2006 11:03:21 AM

NO......this guy would be a HUGE flop in the ACC. if we get this guy the first thing i am gonna do is go buy a gun, i'd rather shoot myself in the head than listen to all the shit we would get for finishing last in the ACC for 3 years straight.

4/12/2006 11:18:14 AM

And what leads you to think that?

4/12/2006 11:21:15 AM

ignorance

4/12/2006 11:24:11 AM

If this guy can recruit at Winthrop and compete with big conference school out of conference, he can probably build some connections and start recruting bigger name players here. His players obviously like him, cause who in their right mind would go to winthrop?


If you've seen them play, they're pretty exciting...but they dont have the best basketball players.

4/12/2006 11:32:34 AM

^ exactly. i mean paul hewitt came straight from siena to GT, and hes done a great job. they didnt make ther tourney this year b/c they were so young, but they will be a force next year. their recruiting class is straight dirty. siena has to be equal to winthrop. we just need to sign this guy and get him in here before all of our recruits bail and our leftovers transfer

4/12/2006 11:37:02 AM

if he can get good players to Rock Hill, he can get good players ANYWHERE

that town absolutely smells

"Marshall just completed his eighth year at Winthrop, guiding the Eagles to a 23-8 record (13-3 in the Big South Conference) and the Big South's regular-season and tournament titles. Winthrop was beaten 63-61 by Tennessee in the first round of the NCAA tournament. Marshall has a 165-78 record at Winthrop, with six Big South championships and six trips to the NCAA tournament. A three-time Big South Coach of the Year and the school's all-time winningest coach, Marshall signed a 10-year contract in October. The deal gives Marshall an annual package of $200,000 and has a $100,000 buyout if he elects to leave Winthrop before June 30, 2010. N.C. State reportedly offered Barnes and Calipari deals worth around $2 million."

Six trips to the tourney in eight years at fucking Winthrop. Marshall sounds good right about now.

4/13/2006 3:49:30 PM

he does sound like a good choice... i'd probably be satisfied... just as long as we don't pay him much more than Herb was making...

4/13/2006 3:51:41 PM

We could totally lure this guy here for prally $400,000(double what he's making) and pay his buyout of 100,000.

4/13/2006 4:43:29 PM

We could pay him at least $500,000/year as good faith.

4/13/2006 5:34:27 PM

what happened to this guy?

4/17/2006 1:47:06 PM

so why havent we hired this guy yet? you cant tell me he wont be better than lon kruger

4/18/2006 5:01:12 PM

because there is no logic in any of this, lets just face the fact that nothing is up to us anymore and we can only sit back and see what fowler and his peoples do

4/18/2006 5:11:00 PM

hes the only guy i want thats still on the list

i mean, we're already starting to seriously talk about Monte Towe...

4/18/2006 5:12:11 PM

^you would rather have Marshall than Haith?

[Edited on April 18, 2006 at 5:13 PM. Reason : ]

4/18/2006 5:13:01 PM

marshall has been to the ncaa tournament

so marshall

and i dont like poaching coaches in the middle of program building

4/18/2006 5:13:56 PM

quit askin about haith. we're obviously not talking to him.

cross him off the list.

marshall, on the other hand, seems to be a viable option at this point.

4/18/2006 5:14:32 PM

^^k


The only reason I want Haith more is that he's a bigger name, so that might help recruiting.


^stfu you have no idea who we're talking to.




[Edited on April 18, 2006 at 5:15 PM. Reason : ]

4/18/2006 5:14:37 PM

miami is in the middle of program building. it would be a dick move on our part to poach haith away. same thing w/ lowery, but for a different reason. look at how many coaches SIU has lost to bigger schools in the past 5 years.

4/18/2006 5:17:56 PM

1) We probably don't want to talk to Haith because he'll probably bust a nut and spontaneously combust with excitement if he sees Lee Fowler on the caller ID and start packing his bags for Raleigh before we even get out a word...

and...

2) THE ACC DISCOURAGES HIRING COACHES WITHIN THE CONFERENCE. The only way we get Haith is if Lee begs Swofford...which I hope he doesn't.

[Edited on April 18, 2006 at 5:18 PM. Reason : .]
