Anyone else getting nervous the Stanford will fire Jerod Haase and hire Madsen at season's end?

Assuming Tyson goes pro and with the rest of the transfers out or eligibility, that will leave us pretty much in the same spot as end of last season.

If that were to happen, any suggestions on next potential coaching targets?

Danny Sprinkle, Joe Pasternack, Niko Medved, Pat Kelsey, David Riley are some name that come to mind.

Haase is definitely a dead man walking. They have lost 5 in a row all by double digits I believe and Colorado looms. They would love to get Madsen.

If we had semi-competent administrators, I would say absolutely not. Madsen is one year into his contract so there should be a large buyout, and Stanford is in the same position as us facing a major revenue concession.

However, since we do not, it's very likely that Madsen's contract is like Wilcox's $30m extension with a unilateral buyout clause in which the university is on the hook for every dollar if they fire Wilcox, but another school can poach Wilcox with a minimal buyout (can't recall what it was exactly, but I think 1/10th of the contract).

So while Madsen doesn't seem like the type of person to bounce after a year, it's not out of the realm of possibility if his contract was established like the ridiculous contract they provided Wilcox.

It's like if Troy Taylor went 5-7 last year, would we be banging down the doors to replace Wilcox with him?

Would they? I imagine the salary negotiation would make his price pretty steep. And that's a lot to pay for someone who doesn't yet have the track record of taking a middling team and making them into contenders. It's like if Troy Taylor went 5-7 last year, would we be banging down the doors to replace Wilcox with him?

Not at Furd, they don't have the kind of impatience you find in many other fan bases, Haase is .523 with some big wins this season (100-82 vs #4 Arizona), I doubt they fire him.

Is the Washington state guy available? If Madsen leaves us, I'd get him. If he doesn't, stanfurd should.

After the first game Jelani played at Haas, I turned to my father on the way out and said, "I don't know what it is, but I just have the feeling this Gardner kid is trouble."

The reason their fan base is not impatient is because it really isn't even a fan base. But at this point, if there is no Big Dance appearance this year (almost impossible), that's an 8 year track record with not one appearance in the NCAA tourney. I would be surprised if Furd retains him.

I haven't heard or seen ANYTHING that supports this. Other than Haase getting let go at season's end is possible.

I guess little surprises me these days. But it would actually surprise me that:

1. Stanford Fires Haase, AND
2. Stanford thinks Madsen it their best option, AND
3. Stanford goes hard for Madsen, AND
4. Cal doesn't fight to keep him.

I would put the odds of this happening at less than 1%

Much more likely that 1 happens, but they find more available and appealing options at step #2. (Look to see them lure Todd Golden back west).

Actually, the first three things are exactly what I expect to see. The unknowns are whether Cal's fight to keep him will win the day, and MM's own views about where he'd rather be.
