Marshall's Agent Just Tweeted the Following

  • "Seeing all the rumors about basketball hires makes me laugh - can anyone be a 'source' these days?"

    I went to school with his agent, and he is a good guy. Apparently he is seeing a lot of misinformation out there.

  • It certainly shouldn't surprise him that people get online and just say anything, acting like they know something.

  • I didn't think he was offered by Nebraska etc.

    I think the opposite. His perception is becoming one of an arrogant, money grubbing, overrated coach of a mid-major. I think his agent is doing damage control.

    Once you lift the skirt up, you see his best team is a senior laden (all five starters) squad that lost in the first round as a five seed. Certainly not worth $2M and up if that's really the asking price.

    Do I still want him? Heck yes....but he's turned down NE and NCST and one other because the money isn't right. Hell, maybe he's happy and thinking "if they're dumb enough to pay it then I'll move".

    I've been waiting for that. So you thing the biggest Husker website and largest paper in the state of Nebraksa, which quoted three different sources got it wrong, but you know the truth.

    Just like JC and WG were wrong on the State and Ga. Tech jobs, but you knew the real story.

    Did Marshall steal your girlfriend once or something? Cause you sure are willing to make yourself look like a goofball just to trash him.

    81 we don't agree on Marshall. I find it hard to believe he has been turning down all these jobs that are supposedly going to double his pay. Coaches work their whole lives to get to the top level and he keeps turning them down? I think he is afraid to be at that level if that's the case but its probably more likely he hasn't been offered imo. I think there is more to his rumored baggage and its holding him back. I also don't put much stock at all in his resume at Wintrhop (again my opinion) bc its one of the worst if not the worst conference out there. One tourney at WSU while the previous coach had a sweet 16 and had them ranked in the top 10 the season before marshall.

    Regardless what you say he is a PROVEN winner. Your personal feeling will never change that. He is by far the best fit at SC. If we can get him and pass that would be - imo - equal to USC passing on Cremins for Bill Foster. Hyman is taking a huge risk if he does not pursue him and at least put out a real effort to sign him. If he wants to many years and money then so be it.

    Agents create some of the misinformation.

  • The Neb. job is being handled the wrong way in my opinion, it's all over the news out there. 81-A is correct however in that it was widely reported that Marshall turned them down....no mistake about it!

    The paper out there has been on every coaching name thrown out there that Neb is considering and has been correct everytime so there is NO reason to believe anything other than Marshall turned them down. Ask yourself a simple question, why would NEB want it exposed that another coach has turned them down if it didn't happen? I mean they are around 4-5 coaches having turned them down so far and two others just said they'd stay at their current school instead of taking the Neb job.......

  • I can see why he turned down the Nebraska job... who wants to go there to coach basketball? Or anything but football for that matter?

    NCSU - Why would he want to go to his first big-time program that has to compete with Duke/UNC/Maryland/Wake/UVA on a consistent basis for recruits and games? Baby steps...

    Ga Tech -Same as NCSU

    OR, maybe USC is his DREAM JOB and he wants to come here, but he at least wants security. Horn did get fired in 4 years. Maybe he wants to know that he can have time to come here and dig us out of this shithole that we're in. And we all know that will take loads of TIME.

    Don't suck and show progression and his job is secure. Peak in year one and the job won't be.

  • So why would he tweet anything. Makes no sense.

    COCK1649

  • He knows what he is doing....chess game. If he wasnt tweeting then to me it means there is no talking. The fact that he IS tweeting means there is at least some posturing going on...which may be what we are doing with amaker and martin.

    Maybe not...but its possible and maybe probable.

    I'm just surprised he didn't finish the tweet with...wait for it...SMH.

    Marshall's agent would never make it on this board. SMH. LOLZ. FWIW.
