As I said about 60 pages ago, Greg Marshall isn't coming here. And all we're doing at this point is getting other coaches paid more money. Barring some last minute change of heart, Greg Marshall will remain in Wichita. If it were just him, he'd have been in Tuscaloosa Monday. But it's not. His wife and kids (a son about to start his freshman year at WSU and a daughter who's about to start her freshman year of high school) prefer it there. No sense in having all that money with a miserable household.
At one point, it looked like Shaka Smart was waiting to see what happened with Marshall before he pulled the trigger on his move. He want(s)ed this job. But because it's been so drawn out, there has been enough time for UTx to woo him into a lull. So here we are, with all of our money...and our resources...and we're coachless.
We'll certainly get a coach...a GOOD coach at that. But at this point, no coaches left will win the press conference. Luckily, all that matters is winning ball games. There are still plenty of guys out there who are more than capable of leading us in the right direction. It just won't be that shiny Corvette that most fans were wishing for. I'll take a reliable Toyota Camry to get me there just as comfortably.
