Does Marshall stay at WSU?

[valleychamp]

The actual wording was "unbelievable offer".

An ACC team offering $1.9 mill a year didn't meet Gregg's definition of an "unbelievable offer".

Any coach will leave if they get an "unbelievable offer". Exceptions are probably UNC, Duke, KU (maybe). What offers did your coach get, valleychamp? I imagine Marshall is the only Valley coach who would turn down $2 mill a year in the ACC.

WSU fans are confident that Marshall will leave some day. As long as that day isn't today, we're happy. That's what happens when a school hires a good coach who's well-respected on a national level, and has a proven track record.

WSU admins get on the phones, call WSU alums and residents with pride in the Shox, and raise money for the athletic department. UNI admins get on the phones and beg the legislature not to cut off their $4 mill handout with the threat of dropping athletics if they don't get that.

You might want to learn to play the game the way the big boys play it before you go sniping on comments made by the big boys coaches, valleychamp.

You might want to learn to win with the big boys before you go making comments.

Unlike Marshall, Ben Jacobson has declined to field interviews from offering schools.

Do we really know that? I'm happy he has chosen to stay in Cedar Falls, and it definitely looks like he and his family are happy here. But I'm not going to pretend that money doesn't talk. It just hasn't spoken loudly enough yet.

Can we at least allow coach Marshall to make the NCAA Tournament at WSU before we call him a big boys coach?

Yes, we do know that.

And yes, I'm sure that day will come sometime.

You know that Marshall has not declined any interview from offering schools? I didn't realize you guys were so tight.

You never know, maybe Jake will someday get the opportunity to move up to the big leagues and coach at WSU.

[valleychamp]

Yes, we do know that.

I believe Marshall told 3 other schools that he wasn't interested. NCST was the only one he agreed to talk to.

Graduate is the key word there, DoubleJay. All of Marshall's seniors this year are graduating. I would expect next year to be the same.

So are Creighton's five seniors (well, actually a couple of them already have)....

Is graduating not the norm for seniors at WSU?
