Marshall is out at Wichita State!

Crazy. So the contract was written such that even if a coach is fired for cause (possibly even tied to criminal behavior) there’s a severance of $ 7+ million? Perhaps he had the attorneys push for this at one of the renewals because he knew it was a liability.

Yep. What a clown

[Tommy]

I'd let you fire me for half of that!

HA!

[Da Coach]

Either Marshall had enough clout to negotiate such a "Golden Parachute" (maybe he knew this would happen some day), or Wichita State has a ton of cash and chose to pay him to go away rather than fire him with cause and deal with the inevitable lawsuit.

It gives them a chance to keep the donors happy, especially the rich ones.

It is now official- Gregg Marshall resigns at Wichita State, and accepts a buyout of $7.75 million paid over the next 6 years.

Assistant coach Isaac Brown will serve as the team's interim head coach.

Wichita State's Interim Head Coach Isaac Brown has done a great job this season. WSU, which was picked 7th in the AAC Preseason Poll, is currently 13-4, and 9-2 in the American Conference, and they are in 1st place-

So Wichita State has rewarded him with a 5 year contract and removed the "Interim" from his title.
