Probably the first time Dan didn't have anything to say, surprised he didn't have one of his assistance give a statement.

[ThunderDent]

Not impressed. He may very well be a great coach.

But this will not move the needle as far as fan support goes. (Butts in seats and $$$)

No National search. No interested parties. Nothing.

Just a quick fire and immediate promotion from a middling team in one announcement.

I'm choosing not to support. I'm sure I won't be alone.
Lazy, lazy hire.

I don't know what kind of Coach CJ will be. He may turn out to be a real surprise and turn heads or he may fail. But I do know he will bring in better talent and athletes. It's not the sexy hire and exciting but I will support him because he deserves a chance to show what he can do since the deal has been done. He has a great opportunity ahead of him. He has a fanbase and a conference that is there to grab. Roster management and recruiting will be the first thing I'll be looking at. Congrats Corny and Go Herd!!!

[herdfan129]

Pumped we actually made this change and got rid of DD.

Not happy with CJ as coach, but this is last I will comment on it until we see what we can do. In fairness, most of us are against the CJ hire just because he was the assistant to DD.

Are we sure he is named the HC or is he just an interim guy while we conduct a search etc?

If he is the guy, I will cheer him on and see what he can do. It?s not fair for us (myself included) to not give the guy a shot just because of who his boss was. Maybe he just loved Marshall more then he hated working under DD?

[Buffalo Bop]

I will post one time on this. As this coaching change has shown, there are only really a couple people on this board who are in the know when it comes to what?s going on behind the scenes. With that being said, you don?t know what CJ knows or what connections he may have. He may be a great one? He may flame out? You don?t know. And since you don?t know you can either cheer him and celebrate the hire or you can Pooh Pooh it. I myself will choose to be optimistic. Knowing this board, others will just complain. Which type of person do you wanna be? Because obviously as how this played out should show you , most really don?t know what?s going on behind the scenes. As such, choose to be optimistic, you?ll be happier

Thanks for the intel. You and BJS certainly had the inside scoop.

BTW, I'm hearing CJ's contract is a 3-year deal with no buyout. Stay tuned.

I'll give Corny a shot and benefit of the doubt. Time will tell.

[andy31]

Goodman is reporting it is a 2 year deal.

[VA Herd Fan]

My initial thought is how can an assistant from a terrible team get promoted to the head coach.

I am going to give Corny a chance and see what portal players he brings in and how he "immediately" manages this roster.  On the surface this seems like a very lazy hire.

Do we know what Corny was allowed to do?  Yes I think there should have been a national search but most of us are not privy to the longer term plans, if there are any. Sometimes a person can flourish when the stubborn overbearing boss is gone. Most wanted Dan gone. At least that wish came true.

So he just took over Dan's current contract with no buyout?

[MUther]

Hate to lose back to back well-regarded players of Marshall Basketball like this.  Hope Corny works out.  He will likely not be given the benefit of any doubt considering the coaching tree he just spawned from.

Just a side note: Marshall top revenue-sport head coaches are African-American in Jackson and Huff. I don't know of too many other schools where that is the case. Syracuse. Who else?

I don't care if they are purple as long as they win.  Both coaches should be judged on if they can win games and not on the color of their skin.

Interesting point.  Didn't really consider it.  Like H2W said below that, don't care what color they are as long as they can be successful.  But it is kinda cool.  Guess you could say it puts Marshall in the minority. ba dum bump

Who the hell cares? It?s 2024. We are all equal.

[yogiherd]

Who is Goodman?

A national media sports guy. I think CBS or one of the others use is breaking info on sudden sports happenings.

[yogiherd]

Goodman info. Worked for ESPN and others

Corny needs to upgrade his staff full of recruiters and have ability to relate to todays players. He?s doomed if doesn?t make staff changes.  Poor product will continue.  Weirdest hire I?ve ever seen.

Lazy and bad hire
We suck

Who is Goodman?

Hey Tim!

How's that guarantee treating you haha

All that posturing and name dropping for nothing.

[Tim Hensley]

Up yours with a red hot poker.

[Lord Haw-Haw]

Danettes will march out the door, and along with it, their monetary support. I hope Danny can hold their feet to the fire regarding the final two years of his contract. If they were going to do this, they should have done it two weeks ago.

[Herd72]

If Corny cleans house of the staff, hope he keeps Coach Kim's husband so we don't lose her.

[Lord Haw-Haw]

Up yours with a red hot poker.

That's exactly what the character played by Robbie Benson told his coach at the end of the 1977 college basketball bio movie, "One on One". Anyone remember that movie or that concluding line?

[MUfan08]

Up yours with a red hot poker.

[herdman22]

He played for some pretty good coaches.  Kevin O'Neill, Greg White, Gregg Marshall, Kevin Keatts, Jeff Boals.
