Re: Chris Jans hired at Bowling Green
I have a friend who's a big Wichita St fan. There's a rumor that Marshall called a meeting with players after the Easter break. I don't think he'd go to Mizzou, but who knows?To avoid confusion - my username is baseball (Cy Young award) related, NOT for the Cyclones.Comment

Re: Chris Jans hired at Bowling Green
Why in the world would he leave Wichita State for Tennessee? He'd probably be taking a pay cut to coach a worse program in a conference that puts basketball 3rd or 4th on their priority list (football, baseball, track).Originally posted by 1988 View PostComment

Re: Chris Jans hired at Bowling Green
That's a hilarious rumor that I haven't heard or seen anywhere. There's no way he'd take either job. I believe the rumored starting price for Marshall to even listen is about $3million. And even then it would have to be a tremendous job and opportunity. No rebuilding. Basketball first school. Tennessee fans just ran Martin off. Marshall and Martin appear to have a good relationship. Missouri is just a hell hole of a job I think. Plus he'd be leaving VanVleet and Baker and I don't see that happening.Comment

friend of mine from Missouri thinks marshall is headed there....possible announcement on mondayComment

Re: Chris Jans hired at Bowling Green
That's plausible, especially since Marshall would have a feel for the regional talent base, and the sales pitch used by Mizzou. He probably competes against Mizzou for players all the time. It would be semi-analogous to Jake leaving for Nebraska or Minnesota. Missouri has also had some success in the last 20-30 years, and has proven they can attract and produce NBA caliber talent. It's not Kansas, but still a good job. Better than Tennessee.Originally posted by UnderParPanther View PostComment

No Chance. He's waiting for one of the blue bloods.Comment

He can still wait for a blue blood while getting $3.2 million at Mizzou.Originally posted by BCPanther View Post
That said, I think MU goes cheap and hires Anderson. They are all about SEC football now.Comment

Re: Chris Jans hired at Bowling Green
If Marshall leaves, it'll be for his final job. He's never been a job hopper and nobody in Wichita was worried about Misery. I think most believe he'll stay here until one of the elite jobs opens up. He won't take a rebuild and he won't go to a school just because of the conference they're in. WSU is in much better shape to compete nationally than MU.
And I really doubt that MU offered 3M. Word is they weren't going to pay that to a basketball coach because then they'd have to redo the football coaches contract as i think he's making 3.1M or something. And it's been stated that Marshall would require about 3M to even consider leaving Wichita. A job like MU would probably require more than that.Comment

Re: Chris Jans hired at Bowling Green
"His final job" lol...ok...
If success was that guaranteed for him the Lakers would be calling. He may very well get a job with one of the big boys but it will not be some open ended lifetime deal.Comment

Re: Chris Jans hired at Bowling Green
He's stated he doesn't want to coach forever. Many believe that means approximately 10 more years. So "his final job" pretty much makes sense. He and his family are very happy in Wichita and he's not about to leave unless it's for a perfect situation. His son will be a SR in HS next year while his daughter will be a FR. Some believe that helps keep him here, which means he's not bolting unless it's for one of the elites. How many jobs does he have to turn down before people realize he's not going to leave just to leave? Some get it, many don't.Originally posted by run&blade View PostComment

Re: Chris Jans hired at Bowling Green
Jake and Marshall are cut from the same cloth on that one. They're comfortable in their own skin and love the situations that they have. There are several jobs that each of them could have had over the years, but it feels right to stay put. Hell, Marshall has said no to at least 4 jobs in the Carolinas (Wake, NC St, Clemson, USC) and those were his supposed 'dream jobs.'
Marshall could have jumped from Winthrop long before he did. I expect he retires from Wichita unless a true blue blood comes calling. I think Kentucky is the job he covets most and with Calipari's history that job could be available in 3-4 years.Comment
