It's starting to sound obvious that Marshall wants the job but the wife is holding things up. Which leads me to believe that Marshall is not coming. This is the same guy who left Winthrop for Charleston, had a press conference, and then changed his mind and went back to Winthrop. It's obvious his wife has a very legitimate voice in what he does. If it is taking this long just to convince his wife to board a private jet to see if she likes Tuscaloosa, my optimism is not high.

Or he just wants a beautiful all expenses paid trip to sunny Tuscaloosa.

I have no idea if you get him or not, but this seems like a bad move by WSU. For one thing, surely they don't expect him to stay forever, and secondly it robs him of an opportunity to consider other things while still feeling secure. Would i be sweating if I were them, absolutely, but i wouldn't let that blind me and make a silly stand. what if he goes and doesn't like it, then they've screwed themselves for no reason.

That sounds ridiculous. Even if this is their stance (which I doubt but who knows), they will absolutely give him the offer if he visits and comes back and says he wants to stay.
