There are lots of factors at play here. If Mom truly trusts oscar and his staff with her son and is even to a point even willing to be loyal to them because they signed him when no one else really wanted him, its extremely logical to assume that she will want him to stick it out at K-State. A few bad experiences here and a losing season won't change that, even if it makes many of us fans not like oscar. I'm sure the staff has probably been in pretty good contact with her (probably Brooks) while all of this has been going on because I'm sure the staff knows that a good Marcus staying around helps their careers. I think this staff is making lots of mistakes right now, but I don't think they are stupid and they will be as patient with Marcus as possible.
