A couple of programs in Texas will be interviewing Marion soon. Probably this week.
More interviews coming
- Thread starter lobbybuu
- Start date
Would be great if it could wait until the following week. I know those are happening and these guys gotta talk when the schools need em to, but it kinda sucks to divide focus.
I agree. We need to have his head in this 100%.
It does definitely, but guys in that spot can't turn those interviews down. You tell a school you want to wait, they likely tell you to pound sand and move on to next candidate.
That would make a lot of sense. He's done a solid job at UTSA.
Provide depends on how much they want you... if you're really a candidate, they'll wait. If you're a box to check off then yeah.. I'm guessing he's going to get a lot of calls. He's always been an exciting name, hopefully his new roots cause him to think more about moving around so quickly
Does he have a source or is he just speculating based on a list or phone call someone reported...
If we lose Odom I say let's go after Brent Brennan.
Well he didn't get it if he did interview.
Mississippi State hires OU's Lebby as next coach
Oklahoma offensive coordinator Jeff Lebby was named head coach at Mississippi State on Sunday, the school announced, taking over the Bulldogs two days after he and the Sooners ended their regular season with a resounding 69-45 victory over TCU.
In regards to Houston.
Looked at a few sites. Odom pops up, but is that people reporting sources or speculating? Don't know.
No doubt. I get it for sure, just sucks that there is no decorum in these spaces. Like a major penalty from the ncaa for reaching out to a coach on a team still playing. Make everybody wait and we can do it all at once.
I do understand though
Lots of speculation... even the MSU bloggers listed him as a potential candidate.. so I'm not sure if an interview actually occurred or if it as simple as a phone call to his agent
It's all a business game. You leak out a name to get the guy you really want to move a little faster.
And or get your guy a nice pay raise
Odom deserves it.
I'm praying Odom is only shopping for a pay raise that is well deserved.
His name will get floated with just about any job opening where it makes a semblance of sense.
I don't think you see him 'linked' to someplace like Syracuse.
We've been through enough coaching searches (unfortunately) that there are more speculated names in the running for jobs than actual names.
Right. There's only so many P5 jobs that will A- be open and B- make sense for him..
Now Marion, different story completely

100%.
Damn near any G5/P5 HC job that opens. (Seriously doubt it would be P5 that's a massive gamble)
But..
After season, potentially any P5 OC spots open, could be problematic because of pay increase and prestige.
Fertittas using UNLV as a feeder for Houston? Shocking news!
I would be surprised if Houston hired him after one season. As good of a season as it was and our offense looks unquestionably different. You would think they would need at least two years for their next HC.
I forgot Tilman existed.... cousin to the local Fertittas.
Don't really know why there would be mutual involvement. If Tilman wanted someone in particular, they could probably go get 'em $$$.

Odom didn't interview for the MSST job so I'm not sure where that info came from.
But the guy that tweeted that frequents this board so maybe he can enlighten us.

Tilman actually cares about his local school.
He gave 20 million to upgrade their bball facilities. He gave 50 million for a med school.
He is worth 9 billion. Owns the Rockets.
He will get who he wants to get.
Honestly think it'd be really irresponsible for any current HC to interview right before a game to win a outright conference championship. I don't care of those programs want to move fast, if they want you, and there's mutual interest, they can wait or they can go elsewhere... at least that's how adult programs should handle it...
Now coordinators, different story
Interesting and weird for a staff member to publicly comment and tweet this. Brad should let fans speculate and debate about this instead of focusing on this and tweeting this out.

How I read this...
"Marion is a popular name amongst fans who want to see high scoring offense and here's a list of all the potential OC or G5/P5 jobs that might be interested... and then lists them all

Yeah. Very odd. Unless he’s already decided, haha. Of course it would still be weird if that were the case
I guess it’s unreasonable to want our coaching staff to stay together one more year? We’ve had a special season. I just don’t want it to end.
For everything good that Marion is, and I do love him, he’s a job hopper. Look at his resume…..I just wouldn’t expect a tremendous amount of loyalty from a guy with a resume like that….ya I know it’s sports and not a business career, but still.
Those schools who insist on interviewing candidates before the coach's season is over will be the first schools to fire the coach if things don't turn out just right. There should be some professional decorum here.
Hope he adopts UNLV now that he has investments in NV. Even being the adopted step-child will get you some serious cash with that kind of bank account.
Coaches are hired assassins. They have no loyalty to the university for whom they work. It's a business. Remember that.
