LOL - Account is titled "Buyout ISU Coach Muller !!!"

and it appears to be a serious effort on the part of someone in their fan base...


apparently fans are booing their team - http://www.redbirdfan.net/forum/view...44c2b7cb8c2ae8

and there's lengthy discussions on their board about firing Muller - http://www.redbirdfan.net/forum/view...php?f=5&t=1425

..some have commented they would prefer to can Muller and try to hire Missouri State coach (and ISU alum) Dana Ford

Serious? The GoFundMe page is set to raise $500,000, and has not raised a single penny yet and likely won't. This is nothing more than a stunt by an ISU joker.
If someone did donate, where would the money go? The fans obviously have no authority to fire Muller, so the creator of the page would probably just keep the money and buy a pack of gum or something.

Maybe- but Muller is wearing out his welcome pretty fast...so don't go over there to read all their posts on the ISU message board if you are a fan of his...
The hottest topics are threads of lengthy posts ranting about firing Muller and/or their AD. Also interspersed are arguments between fans...

plus, Muller loses a huge pct of his production going into next year and has only one player signed - an undersized guard that averages 12 ppg & barely over 2 assists
for a micro-tiny high school with about 100 enrollment, whose record is 19-9 with multiple losses to other schools with enrollments of under 100.

Yes, no team will lose more of their production than ISU after this season, and the redshirts and incoming players are unproven.
But, Muller is signed through 2024 at $600,000 per year. It would cost ISU 0ver $3 million to buy him out. Ain't gonna happen.

I never said it would - just pointing out that fan sentiment there is quite different than in the past
...the last several years they were worried he'd be gone because some bigger program would come calling...
...now they're worried he might stay around five more years because no bigger program will come calling

Muller is an ISU Alumni - who fights and works hard for ISU. When Muller goes - it won't be long before ISU realizes what they loss - just like Bradley realized what they loss when Jim Les (also Bradley Alumni) moved on.
