Martin and Howland top 2

[ranradVOL]

Candidates for the Marquette job. Damn.

Crazy how things have changed from 3 weeks ago

I was wrong, guess he was the secret candidate, wow.

 

[ranradVOL]

Bad news for us. I think he takes it if offered.

Where are the negavols who said that no team would ever be interested in Martin?

 

[Jonboy]

Wow.

Agree

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Then we take Howland?

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Thinks he's probably gone, and who can blame him. Marquette will clearly offer big bucks, doubt Hart matches.

 

[Mullins2010]

If he leaves do we go after Howland?

 

[UTBasketball2]

Great job guys. Amazing.

The funny thing is, I think other teams thought Tennessee had an up and coming coach before the 3 week run. Martin is respected in the coaching community.

 

[ranradVOL]

Then we take Howland?

That would be the only silver lining. We would HAVE to make that happen.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

And the funny part, I've seen Purdue fans on Facebook mad they held onto Painter too long.

This has been quite a funny year.

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Marquette hadn't offered Howland, now names Martin and Howland top 2. It would appear that Martin is their #1 to me.

 

[Stoked]

You'd have to take Howland if that was the case. But Stokes would be gone.

Pretty much. No way you can leave that big of a name out there in this situation.

You go with an unproven coach after all that's happened and...wow.

Great job guys. Amazing.

Didn't realize a message board had so much power.

 

[appyvol]

If Martin does go, who are some coaches we may go after outside of the obvious?

 

[Vols4life]

Does anyone remember the stories from players while Howland was at UCLA?? No thanks

The problem with Howland is that he is damaged goods. His reputation as a coach was in the toilet at the end of his U.C.L.A. run. His teams had a reputation as being undisciplined on and off the court. He wasn't winning big with big time talent, and his players were constantly in the news. I think this is why Marquette would be willing to buy Martin out and pay him instead of just paying Howland.

I don't. Please share

Where's he going?

I don't mean the message board alone.

It doesn't, but 200 morons signing their name 500 times obviously does.
