Gregg Marshall radio show cancellation leads to Alabama job speculation
Gregg Marshall’s weekly radio show on KNSS-1340 in Wichita was canceled Monday, leading to speculation from many that the coach may not be sticking around as coach of the Shockers for much longer.
Marshall has been reported to be the top target for Alabama, which has a vacancy to fill after firing Anthony Grant. The Crimson Tide are said to be willing to pay Marshall $3 million per season to convince him to leave Wichita State.
Marshall reportedly has interest in the Bama job and is meeting with the school’s athletic director Monday.
I spoke w a knowledgeable source yesterday who said Gregg Marshall was "shocked" to read reports that he has zero interest in Alabama.

Al.com reports that Wichita State officials are the ones who canceled the show, while the program’s host, Mike Kennedy, said there was a scheduling issue.
To clarify, Gregg Marshall did not cancel his radio show for tonight. It was tentative, and did not get placed on his schedule.

An effort will be made to schedule a end of the season Gregg Marshall Show in the near future.

Those of you speculating "deeper meaning" into this might want to know that there was no show scheduled last week either, worked it out late

If you ask me, this sounds like people who are believing the B.S. they’re being fed. It sure sounds like Marshall, who has posted three consecutive 30-win seasons, has a lot of interest in the Bama job and may be ready to leave Kansas.
