The list of men's basketball coaches who apparently don't want the Nebraska job is growing.
Three sources Tuesday told The World-Herald that Wichita State's Gregg Marshall was offered the NU job, likely at an annual salary of at least $2 million.
Two of those sources said Marshall has turned it down, while the third said Marshall wasn't showing any interest. Two of those sources have direct access to Marshall, who didn't return messages left by The World-Herald.
Two other sources said that Nebraska reached out through a third party to Gonzaga's Mark Few and Colorado's Tad Boyle to gauge interest, but neither wanted to be involved.
Interviews on Tuesday with three coaches who are still in the NCAA tournament or have direct ties to such teams said the coaching grapevine is in virtual agreement in the following thoughts on VCU's Shaka Smart and Ohio's John Groce:
Both are expected to stay at their schools if they don't find jobs they want at higher-profile basketball schools than Nebraska.
Last week, sources confirmed that UCLA's Ben Howland turned down an offer from Nebraska.
Also apparently out of contention is former UNLV star, NBA player and college and NBA coach Reggie Theus.
A coaching friend of Theus said Tuesday night that a high-ranking Nebraska official responded to notes seeking entry into the search that Theus "wouldn't be a candidate at this point.''
Nebraska has interviewed Oral Roberts' Scott Sutton and may have directly discussed the job with Colorado State's Tim Miles and Wisconsin-Milwaukee's Rob Jeter.
Tuesday was the 11th day since Nebraska fired Doc Sadler.

oh my. :D
-
Holy eff....
I mean, that list.
Who the hell do they think they are? Few? UCLA? :lol:
God, even Tad recognizes that he just won a rough ridin' confy champ and that NU is still NU.
-
Scott Sutton. Oh man, imagine the DUIs he'd get away with
-
Well ideally you need someone who has no AAU ties and coaches a slow, slow, slow paced game and will force his players to make 4 passes before each shot, no exceptions. I still think that perfect hire is out there.
-
man, those poor gluttons at hhc.
-
stupid for tom to fire doc in the first place. they were perfect for each other. what a loser of an AD.
a complete embarrassment to the big 10.
-
they need to concentrate on long term..imho :crossfingers:

Only if we can get Dick Butkis after him.

matt daugherty (?) Capel?

That's a great list, good for them for not acting small timey. Marshall is doing all of these programs a favor. They would do well to get Rob Jeter.

he recruited Dwyane Wade!
He was on my list to replace wooly in like 2004. I think he's a much better hire than some of these mid-major guys that have one or 2 years under their belt, inherited some experienced players, and had a nice tourney run. (I'm thinking of guys like Stan Heath, Keno Davis or the current Ohio coach).
He's been at Milwaukee long enough that you know he wasn't just blessed with oscar Pearl's leftovers.
-
They might as well try to go after Phil Jackson. JFC, Nubbs.
:dubious:
-
I've heard they are targeting a new hire
Soc Dadler. I hear he already has a bitchin IROC.

I can see why..
