Fire Autry

[dasher]

People here will never give up on wanting Pitino or Oats.

Hell, I just finally gave up on getting Hank Iba.

I didn't say we couldn't' get him

 

[orange79]

Not totally. But I hope to see some more staff changes going into next season or I will be very concerned.

I mean, I get it, but coaches coming/going are primarily Fran's decision.

Unless Fran is given "the talk".

 

[Cuse_NYC]

I’d go all in on like Wes Miller

 

[JeremyCuse]

That's unfortunate but I get it. He's done well with fundraising and facilities, but I have no confidence in him making any more major coaching decisions, and that's realizing his hands were tied with Red.

Remember with Wildhack your talking about him making 2 real coaching searches, 3 if you want to include Gary Gait and none involved bball. He didn't pick Red there was no choice to get JB out. People mad at Wildhack about the current situation aren't aware of the whole circus at the end of JB's career. He missed on Dino and hit on Fran at least so far.

 

[dasher]

But is money the problem? Are these not talented players?

They are. I think. But I'm talking about getting to where Fran is right now. A 5 star star.

 

[tptcuse]

I mean, I get it, but coaches coming/going are primarily Fran's decision.

Unless Fran is given "the talk".

And it was Red's decision to stick with his assistant coaches. Maddening that he did so.

 

[orange44]

Again if he doesn't reach the tourney he will be let go. Everyone knows the score including the people who matter up on the hill.

I hope you are positive about this happening because this is a disaster.

 

[dasher]

Not totally. But I hope to see some more staff changes going into next season or I will be very concerned.

There will be major changes coming.

 

[Cusefan0307]

This isn't even as bad as it's going to get. Just wait until the empty seats and boos next Tuesday when they're down 30 again but on their home court.

If they get beat that bad we will be lucky to draw 5000 people the rest of the year.

 

[tptcuse]

There will be major changes coming.

That is very good to hear.

 

[SkyTopBus44]

Yep. The only way ADJW isn't here next year is if he decided to retire. And I don't mean "retire", I mean retire.

Can they have someone else lead the search for the next coach? Make John Wildhack the figure head fundraising guru.

 

[Cuse_NYC]

If they get beat that bad we will be lucky to draw 5000 people the rest of the year.

Tuesday may be really bad. Tenn is HUGE.

 

[CuseCPT]

Not sure if I should make another thread for this or not, but I’ll just ask it here. Who are some potential candidates to take over if Red is fired after this season?

There's a not at all insignificant number of fans who want GMac or Hopkins which makes me feel like maybe we deserve to be irrelevant.

 

[Blanko97]

They are. I think. But I'm talking about getting to where Fran is right now. A 5 star star.

I don’t think that’s what the team is actually missing though. It would be nice but that’s not the issue. And I don’t trust red to not destroy them anyway

 

[Cuse_NYC]

Didn’t they claim to have a national search when they hired Autry? Obv a lie. Was any1 else even interviewed?

 

[TommyA13]

This isn't even as bad as it's going to get. Just wait until the empty seats and boos next Tuesday when they're down 30 again but on their home court.

That’s what people here are forgetting. It has the potential to be a disaster for the program.

 

[TommyA13]

Okay. We aren't getting anyone like that. So we can stop with the guys we can't get.

We are not, that’s why I said they WOULD’VE been.

 

[sdhall01]

I, for my part, apologize for ruining everybody's fun on Monday. Also, hopefully I'm not alone in thinking we need an immediate change. This team is way too talented to be this bad.

 

[MSOrange]

There will be major changes coming.

That's very encouraging to hear. Thanks!

 

[Cusefan0307]

There's a not at all insignificant number of fans who want GMac or Hopkins which makes me feel like maybe we deserve to be irrelevant.

I think it’s just a small minority of people. Everyone who has a clue wants Hodgson or a Langel type. Not saying I agree those guys should be the hire.

 

[Blanko97]

Ricky would have taken this job in a heartbeat.

I don’t disagree with that at all

 

[TommyA13]

Disagree. Include Melo and some other basketball alums in the process so the NIL is there. We can't do any worse. The Monmouth game was a major red flag and here we are.

I just think we could do better than Wildhack

 

[richmondcuse03]

Doesnt have a recruiting class currently to be able to save his bacon.

Comes back to the conversation last year, what does Melo want?

Put him on the search committee.

 

[Syracusian]

Even though it may be nice to get a younger coach that brings a lot of energy, giving Jay Wright a really nice offer would be my choice by a mile

 

[richmondcuse03]

Put him on the search committee.

I also think he must be pretty disgusted watching these games too.
