That little dose of reality may be what keeps Marshall at WSU for a long, long time.


Maybe. But I really think Marshall is a level (or two) above those guys you list. I think he's truly right there with the best 4 or 5 coaches in the game. If you were starting a Division I team from scratch is there anyone you would pick over him? I'm not sure there is. Point being I think he'll be at WSU as long as he wants to be but with his ability and confidence I don't see any fear of failure at a a "higher level" school.

I don't think he walks on water though. He's still pretty annoying with the sideline antics. :D I'd take him in a heartbeat as our coach though.

There are plenty of reasons for Marshall to stay at WSU, but the failure of others has to be fairly far down that list. They only way I see him leaving anytime soon is if he gets bored and is looking for a challenge. Or if, you know, like the Duke or Kentucky jobs open up.

Considering what Creighton has done this year, I don't think we will see McDermott in the Valley for a while.

Yes, that projected final RPI in the high 80s should merit a serious raise and extension.

Let's see where Creighton's RPI ends up at years end. And where they place in the conference. I'm betting both are very unimpressive. If CU does finish well I would be willing to admit McD is a better coach than previously thought (at least in certain circles).

At some point though doesn't he have to get CU to at least a sweet sixteen?

Shaka Smart will be choice #1.

Shaka Smart's existence will help keep Marshall at WSU. He's younger, about as good of a coach, and has a better media presence. And he's from B1G country, when it comes to the Indiana job. And I don't see Marshall wanting to take a job as the second choice.

You could say the same thing about every coach in Creighton history. It's never stopped Creighton fans before.
