Just for posterity in case KSU gets to Mr. Banks first:

Quote

A source close to the Marquette Athletic Department told The Sports Bank last night that oscar Weber is interested in the Marquette opening. Which isn’t really news given that Weber was also rumored to be interested in the same job back when Buzz Williams was first hired.

Coincidentally, Kansas State fans have already started expressing concern online over the idea that oscar Weber could be leaving KSU to come home to Milwaukee. Our source has not confirmed as of yet that Marquette has reciprocated any interest in Weber. Of course, that hasn’t stopped Marquette fans from also expressing concern online over the idea that oscar Weber could be leaving KSU to come home to Milwaukee.

So let’s get Donald Rumsfeldian and dig into all the “known unknowns” and “unknown knowns” in this situation.

Why oscar Weber to Marquette makes sense/could happen:

-As a Milwaukee native who attended Marquette high school, this IS his dream job, and it was rumored that he was interested in this gig back when Tom Crean left this job vacant. Openings like this don’t come along everyday.

-oscar Weber has had success at every stop in his coaching career. Covering the Illini for many years, a common Weberism I’ve often heard at press conferences is “just be solid.” Weber is definitely that: solid.

-During his tenure at Illinois, Weber was rumored to be headed to Arkansas in 2007 and Oklahoma in 2011. Obviously, he didn’t bolt Champaign for either gig, but it shows that Weber has a history of exploring all of his options with outside schools. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. We all seek to maximize our career opportunities. There’s nothing more American than being “free enterprise.” After all, SIU was a stepping stone to Illinois for oscar Weber.

-There’s reportedly been contact between Ben Howland and MU already. Howland was rumored to be a finalist for the DePaul job before it was filled by Oliver Purnell, so he’s been linked to the Big East in the past. There’s Shaka Smart to MU rumors being reported as well. How does this impact Weber? The departure of Buzz Williams leaves us with a lot more questions than answers. Some of which we attempted to answer here. When Buzz appeared on CBS this past weekend to discuss his new gig with Virginia Tech, he completely dodged the question of why he left MU. Point is, the situation in Milwaukee is so unclear at this point that we can’t really rule out Weber any more than we can rule out other candidates at this point. (Other than Tom Crean!)

Why oscar Weber to Marquette makes no sense/won’t happen:

-Weber has a great situation at Kansas State. There’s really no reason for him to leave. I reached out to Curtis Kitchen from bringonthecats.com for comment on this situation.
“Could oscar Weber look at Marquette? Sure he could, for several reasons. But, if he leaves K-State, it’s not because of the school or program. The athletics department has never been in better shape, nor has KSU’s position with the NCAA,” Kitchen said.
Bring on the Cats is the K-State SB Nation blog, and a lot more reliable than most of the K-State fan sites out there.

-oscar Weber’s Twitter account has reportedly been blocking posters from a certain K-State fan message board. Which members of that specific board believe is another sign of his imminent departure. I don’t read “Weber’s leaving” into that development. Coaches from every school block board posters and Twitter users from college message boards all the time. If you use social media and/or discussion forums, I don’t need to explain to you why that is.

-Our initial list of potential MU head coaching candidates from Friday night did not include oscar Weber because this hire just “doesn’t past the eye test,” to quote the phrase that’s often used in regards to NCAA Tournament at-large selection.

JFC, that's the equivalent of Patz going radio silent after "Don't Worry."

Weber's gone.

Do we even need a head coach?
Let me dive into the crazy drawer for a second.
Just let the players coach themselves like an intermeral game.
Just have a strength coach, a few recruiters and some inspirational posters in the locker room.
Have the students vote on the starting lineup each week.
IfI I'm 18 year old, one-and-done, blue chipper I'm asking where do I sign.
