This is the most damming and embarrassing comment of our program by a head coach I have ever read - regardless of any validity. From head coach Gregg Marshall, SC native (where else), of Wichita State (31-0) : N&O today: "Getting the big boys to visit a place like Wichita State, which routinely fills 10,506-seat Charles Koch Arena, is even more difficult. “We all as coaches have this innate gene – we want to keep our job,” Marshall said understandingly. “It’s called self-preservation.”
The sole ACC school that’s shown interest in taking on Wichita State, according to Marshall, is Wake Forest. “To be honest with you, we don’t think they’re good enough,” he said. “They don’t help our schedule.”
Of course the Deacons may be under new bench management next season. Marshall’s name has surfaced as a possible replacement for Jeff [Redacted], who’s in the process of posting his fourth underwhelming record in four years at Winston-Salem. (Marshall also reportedly was considered for the N.C. State job in 2011.) But the 51-year-old South Carolina native, who spent nine seasons at Winthrop before moving to Kansas in 2007-08, said he’s not particularly interested in coaching at Wake should the opportunity arise.
“They would have to have a Brinks truck” full of money, said Marshall, who earns about $2 million annually. “I’ve got a pretty good situation here. We can win. We sell out every game. They really like me here.”
