SmoakyBandito Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 I'll get laughed at for saying this. But if it was me I would run Mathis off on principle, drive down 59S, and make Darren Preston an offer he could not refuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawgman Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 I hope for Marshall he is not hired, but if I was a Maverick I would want some answers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mathis gave y'all lip service while he applied for his old job. If they don't give it to him, then that's on Desoto. But Mathis was ready to burn rubber back to the DFW. Questions I would have is: how many other jobs did he apply for? And why is he throwing his name in the hat in the first place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But my question is this; Why would DeSoto want him back? He has left them twice before. First time for UH, and he was back in like three weeks. Then he left for SMU a few years later. So why take him back again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All my intel says a former DC of Desoto will get the job, supes boy. And those reporting Arkansas and Chad Morris called, 😂. He went to Marshall because he “needed” a paycheck. Take that how you may. Let me reiterate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mavchamp Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Last winter I’m sure there were lots of openings in the DFW area that may have paid less than what he’s making in Marshall, but would have been in th area he apparently desires. It wasnt just the desire of a paycheck. I think he wanted to win too. Abd he would win in DeSoto too. But the circus going on around him is unreal. More twitter drama today with the Stepp tweet. But also some libelous twitter chatter against him made public today concerning player safety when he was there. Add that to the dumpster fire going on over there I just don’t see the appeal.

MAV1975 Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Just a thought: Maybe Mathis legitimately came to Marshall with the intentions of staying for the long haul (4-6 years), and building the program that he said; Maybe, Mathis never thought that in a million years the Desoto position would become available anytime (4-6years) in the near future; Maybe, Mathis truly believes Desoto to be home; Maybe, it is not Mathis desire to just be in the DFW area, but Desoto; Maybe, Mathis felt that when the Desoto position became available, that this was his last opportunity to go back to the place he call home, so, he felt that he had to apply. Just a thought, Maybe! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes sense......it's something that was in the back of my mind, and IMO totally logical......still, I think most of the folks in Marshall would like him to be around long enough to call the Maverick program home...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Growing into a 5 ring circus in DeSoto. This isn’t new to Desoto. They’ve been a 3 ring circus since the Ben Dial days. They just have the athletes to cover for the circus. I once had a coach walk into my office who was a DC at a pretty good college and said when he goes to individual during practice the Desoto kids looked better on hoof than his. This was 15 years ago.

That’s why Marshall had to wait so long to announce his hire. Desoto players and parents forced the school board to devote and keep peterman. His contract is up this semester and they wanted him to quietly leave to the next gig. He told them to stick it and rolled out. You’ll see where he’s going in a few days. It’s a done deal as well. But yes... Marshall will be open. They should have hired Ludlow and never been in this situation. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocketpop Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Everything I have heard is through all this mess, rumors, allegations, etc, etc, the Marshall players and coaching staff have not missed a beat in their non football season program. This could be proof that Marshall is on the up and up if a HUGE distraction like this hasn't seem to shake the program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good thing about Marshall is that maybe 30 people in the entire city of 20,000 read Smoaky... those same 30 people use the forums on marshallmavericks.net ... the town likes to gossip, but most of what they gossip about is uninformed rumors... so in a way that is a good thing... and until he leaves, it will stay positive with 90% of the city... Especially, if the program keeps improving. This is what this thread has kind of turned into with the deafening Silence since the Matt Stepp Tweet...

They are, for the most part, laughably uninformed and speak only for themselves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
