What are they offering??????
MOST wrote:MSU Bear fans on their BEAR NATION forum are in a tizzy on a hiring a replacement. The "possibles" list circles the block. For some reason every X- Greg Marshal WSU assistant is being touted big time--to the exclusion of many other qualified coaching candidates. For a long time the only acceptable replacement would have to be a serving D1 coach, and then a retired or fired D1 coach. Heard some names bantered around I had not heard in a few years. Then it got crazy--females, high school coaches, Bear alums, etc. Only ones ruled out by every one was D2 coaches. The D2 coach has lived the responsibility of being a successful coach--not so for an assistant. Me, I would just as well accept a high quality, winning, successful head D2 coach as a P5 D1 assistant The fans will clamor for and accept a "hot shot D1 assistant" looking to build his resume and move on in 2 or 3 years. THAT is not building/rebuilding a program.
I again recommend two great D2 candidates: Jeff McCollum at NWMO, and Jeff Boschee at MSSU. McCollum was the 2017 D2 C0Y and NWMO was the 2017 D2 National Champ, and is in the 2018 D2 national tournament as a high seed. Boschee/MSSU is also in the 2018 D2 tournament. As nasty, and hungry for a winning team as the Bear hard core is, they would probably meet McCollum or Boschee at the city limits with a rail, a pot of tar, and a bag of feathers. SAD!!. I know those folks around Springfield--most have never been out of the area except to go to a casino or riverboat, or to ARCH Madness to see the Bears get beat. I guess that is what make them so nasty!

To Bear fans the "hot commodity" is a D1 assistant! For some reason they are chasing every X Greg Marshall/Wichita State/Winthrop assistant they can dig up. Don't understand that infatuation. Because Marshall built WSU into a new national power does not mean one of his assistants can do the same.

We absolutely do not want a D2 coach. I would be immediately opposed to that proposal.

Not being argumentative but do not understand the Bear Nation animosity towards successful nationally recognized D2 coaches (such as McCollum and Boshee, and several others). There are over 300 D2 mens basketball programs--surely not all those D2 coaches are slugs not worthy of MSU/D1 consideration.
There is a nest of "haters" on Bear Nation. Hate MIZZU, hate Hinson, hate Ad Moats, hate the U. Preresident Smart, hate D2 coaches/teams, hate the Springfield populace because they do not fill the gym for loosing basketball, hate anybody who disagrees or differs with their collective opinion. This collective opinion is driven by probably 10 -15 or so outspoken hard cases/BB experts out of a Bear Nation membership of o/a 4,000. Bear Nation can be so caustic it may affect the Bears ability to hire a decent-if he reads Bear Nation
