Swerve this a little, is Gregg Marshall so tainted that no one will touch him? I saw his name brought up on some fan tweets, but I have not seen his name noted by a serious source.

I too was wondering when or if Marshall’s name may start to pop up for openings. I think the thing with him is that with his actions and behavior there was more verifiable accusations. More individuals actually heard and seen his behavior that was unbecoming of a HC or any in a position of authority. But also there’s another person involved in hiring Gregg that presents other issues. I think the pair may present more than many may want to deal with and so far that any potential opening has wanted to deal with.

BH, I would not want KSU to take this road, but Arkansas was ready to hire Beard. And they were in discussion to bring Petrino back as their Offensive Coordinator.

Where is that smilie about beating a dead horse? You may know something about coaching basketball, but what is your experience running a university and dealing with student conduct issues at the all-university level? It is not likely that anyone is going to know the facts in this situation because of confidentiality concerning a student issue. Your argument ignores the fact that Tomlin was also a student at K-State subject to the rules and regulations applied equally to all students, including student athletes.

I know a hellava lot about running a business, managing, and leading people. Been doing that for a few decades now outside of coaching in the past. There's a right way and a wrong way to handle situations. The fact that its still being kicked around indicates this wasn't handled well. Hopefully Linton learned something from the process. Time will tell if he has or not.

Since you have had experience running a business and managing and leading people, you must have learned to have the facts before judging another person's leadership abilities? Your allegation that President Linton is a micromanager is not fair because you don't have all of the facts in the Tomlin situation. Most likely the details of the Tomlin situation will never be available to K-State fans because issues of student conduct are handled confidentially. Some actions of alleged misconduct by student athletes must be adjudicated at the highest level of the university. The coach of the sport and/or the athletic director would not and should not have the final decision in such matters.

Now Arkansas is after Chris Jans. He is a very good coach. He was WSU Marshall's right hand man. He would.fit well at Arkansas.

The updated roster tracker for Arkansas basketball is a short read.

The Hoop Hogs are down to Trevon Brazile and Isaiah Elohim as projected scholarship players.
=================
2023 Arkansas beat KU in the Sweet 16
2024 Arkansas has no Coach and only 2 players

If Coach Tang had left, that could be us.

He wasn’t going anywhere.

I hope not, but he did talk to Arkansas officials about the job, correct?

ESPN is reporting that the deal is being finalized. I'm just glad it wasn't Coach Tang.
