I don't think there are any MVC coaches I truly dislike. I can see why people would dislike Marshall if he isn't their coach. I think outside of the most ridiculous IlSt fans, though, there aren't many people who have that much dislike for Marshall. Considering the ridiculous streak of success he's had, he's hardly been running up scores on Valley teams or being rude to anyone else. He is arrogant, and that's always going to rub people the wrong way if they're cheering against him.
I can see disliking Muller, just because of the trouble his players have gotten into under him, his own arrogance, and the quantity of T's he's piled up. But again I don't dislike him. He needs some maturing as a HC and I think he'll be fine in a few years.
Generally I don't think the MVC has any coaches that are just pricks. No one that verbally assaults players like McDermott used to do, no one throwing chairs like ol' Bobby Knight, no one that makes the Valley look bad in general.
I guess I could dislike Marty's coaching style, but I'm happy with Marty building a 15-21 win program at Evansville. Maybe Lusk would be #1 for me just based on pure bad performance.
When I saw this poll it made think of Knight too. Very good coach but.......
