I keep seeing Greg Marshall mentioned as a home run hire, but has anyone taken a detailed look at what he has accomplished? Winning 35 straight games against anyone is difficult to do regardless of the competition, but take a look at the 35 and you'll see 2 top 50 RPI wins and a #98 strength of schedule. The MVC has been Wichita State, then a huge drop-off to the next team during his run. I think he would be a good looking hire that the media and recruits would love, but I haven't seen what he could do when his team has to play 5-10 games against quality competition a season instead of 2-3. The Big South was not any better when he was at Winthrop, so I think we'd still be taking a chance on the guy. The last thing we need right now is a high-dollar dud.
Maybe, but that Final 4 appearance and consistent winning says a lot.
I would take him in a heart beat.I keep seeing Greg Marshall mentioned as a home run hire, but has anyone taken a detailed look at what he has accomplished?

I agree and I don't even like Marshall. The guy wins. Great coach, but he's got a different personality ban most fans want.
