Marcum should have been shown the door long ago.
But, its past time now. It needs to happen NOW.
The only thing that can save face at least with football this year would be if Marcum were fired immediately and replaced with Pruett on an interim basis.
1 thing is for sure that Pruett will rally Marshall fans around MU very similar to how Osborne will do at Nebraska. This will also bring some stability to an athletic department that has become the laughing stock of Conference USA. In the end it could only amount to a PR move, but at this point in time that couldn't do anything but help. If everything remains constant between now and next year you'll likely see attendance tank!! Remember when we used to make fun of the Ohio, Kent St, and Akron crowds of 10,000 people? Well, that is going to be us next year unless some positive changes are made.
Does that mean a new coach or not? Everyone has an opinion on that, but it is time to replace the AD, its been past time.
