We have a winner... Have a presser next week announcing that DD is "retiring"... Hand him a gold watch, a hoodie from Glenns and a hearty thank you for his decade of service.
He and Dan have been friends for a long time. Same as with Dan's sister.
"Sellouts" that are a mirage as much as those 24 wins. Reducing capacity was a bigger cause than a groundswell of fans support because of a successful season.
Gregg Marshall. He's a proven winner that needs to recclaim his name. He got a nice payout so we won't have to empty the bank accounts. Gregg gets his reputation back to a respectable degree and we get ACTUAL winning basketball.
We expect this from a guy that blamed last season on everything from COVID to the players being aimless without as school President in place.
I'll take Marshall over Brannen 10 times out of 10.
Who wouldn't. There's this thing called finances that would probably be a big hurdle. MU would be a good job for him for character rebuilding, for sure. But he's getting paid $46K every two weeks from WSU, NOT to coach.
I don't think it will be in this case. Due to his baggage Marshall's name isn't a hot one and he got a pretty good buyout when he was terminated at WSU. He needs a job at a respectable program to rehab his image. Under normal circumstances you would be correct, but I think this is a perfect storm.
And when the win total drops he'll be able to hang that on losing Kinsey and needing to "rebuild" because we're "young" and he'll be standing there on the sideline with his arms crossed seemingly clueless until he decides he wants out and at that point he'll be celebrated by the Danites like was Cam Henderson.
The funny thing about that is... We won't be "young"
…..and don’t leave Taylor off that list! He has a year of eligibility left. Good bet he will be back!
No, but Dan always says we are and somehow people buy it.
He's expected to return. Although according to a poster on Herdfans Taylor, Handgloten, and another player's parents told Spears that if Dan is not retained they will be leaving the program. How true that is I don't know.
Greg Marshall would be a very good coach for The HERD------WHEN our very capable, current leader decides WHEN he wants to retire!
And, this PROVES how much the players & their parents love and TRUST Dan.....Dan does not read HERD Nation, nor any boards from fans that don't know Sh&T about coaching......
Dan is not a very capable leader. If so we wouldn't have so many late game and late season collapses.
Help me understand something. If championships aren't a benchmark for success within our program; how do we define that success? Having good kids, winning 20 plus games a year?
Stop it. I know Dan chocked. I don't have to be a player's parent to know that. You can keep getting emotional about your buddy all you want. Dan D'Antoni is not a great coach. He's not a good coach. He's scared to play anyone with a pulse and when he does he gets exposed.
Wins don't matter. They just want to yuck it up with their buddy. D-I is a zero sum bottom line business and the bottom line is that Dan D'Antoni can't get the job done anymore and is 75 years old.
Bleeds.....you are so FULL of SH&t.....that your nose is BROWN. How much coaching experience do you have!!! You HIDE behind A COMPUTER & TALK Smack.....and BTW...some folks did not want Bill Stewart fired nor my buddy, DOC.
Bleeds....TELL TAYLOR to his FACE he cost The HERD the ODU game, Texas State and an NIT Bid.......You are too chicken to meet him in person.....You Stink.
Bleeds, all your arguments just lost weight. You’re telling me that, with 0.8 seconds left in the game, Taylor was supposed to do anything other than what he did? And to be able to catch an over the shoulder inbounds pass, turn & release before the buzzer from 24 feet with a defender on him was pretty impressive. Add to that the shot was right on target and just a bit too long; hell, when it went straight up in the air those of us in attendance thought it still had a chance.
Thank God we did fire him; and Hamrick too. Change was needed. Dan needs to retire soon and enjoy what he did. Th fan base owes him appreciation for bringing consistency and some good memories to the program. If people love Marshall and want the best for the school, they realize it's bigger than them or any one person.
INTERESTING REPLY.....
TRUE DAT'.....I would have put $$$ that Taylor would have been a HERO....
