Fun coaching carousel going on right now.
Wichita State nearly doubled Marshall's salary. $3.3 Million. I don't know where that puts him but I gotta believe he's right around the Top 10.

Fantastic job by the University of being proactive and especially of being aware of just how great this guy is and what he means to Shocker basketball.

Could have his best team next year......

The best part about this though, for me anyway, is reading all the stunned comments from Alabama fans and some of the talking heads who were just certain that not only would Marshall jump at the job (not sure it isn't a step-down in reality) but that Wichita State couldn't afford to pay him much more than the $1.85 M he made this year. It feels so good when the spoiled don't get what they want.
