I would. If he does something shady that’s easy to terminate a contract. We are seeing that it’s hard to fire Golden Boy Dan. Because he isn’t a good coach- and you can’t terminate because you suck at your job.
Patently false. You can fire any coach pretty much for any reason. You just have to be willing and able to absorb the cost of the remaining contract and the potential blowback (tho I doubt there’d be much for firing Dan, at this point). The first one is the primary reason ISU will use should this year’s team tank (tho they’ll say it’s for a different reason). Dan’s COY in 2017 bought him an extension and relative security for 2-3 years (reason 2). COVID loaned Dan another year.
True- we would have to buy out Dan thru the end of his contract. That seems to be the big problem. With the attendance numbers I doubt ISU cares about the "covid loan" year...they care more about the 1 million dollars plus they would have to buy Dan out. If Marshall did something ignorant that is ethically wrong- that would be easy grounds for termination. Being a lousy coach in itself isn't grounds to not pay the remaining contract. That just means Larry Lyons was a poor judge of selecting coaches. That means you are right. Dan can be terminated anytime...but ISU would have to use the 2900 attendance revenue to pay Dan his payday. Since his one great year...his average record per year is 13-17. He better have a great year to improve on that. Covid didn't stop Baylor from winning the 2021 NCAA Tournament.
What? Because his wife is an assistant?
Because he has won everywhere he has been. It’s ok that you don’t like him as a person. He was able to recruit and win at Winthrop and Wichita. Some didn’t like Stallings attitude. But, who cares if he wins! I don’t have to live with him.
I liked Donewald so I’m tolerant. Yes I’m that old now.
I liked Donewald too. He was a recruiting machine for a long time. He could also develop the talent.
& difficult to get along with sort of like you know who. Donewald and his spouse were not foul mouthed cussers like a sailor types, though.
Maybe we fire Dan and then re-hire him??????
Ummm . . . From what I understand from fans who sat around the bench while he was here, Donewald swore with the best of them. Legend has it that his wife made him clean up his language after getting fired by ISU.
