Georgia fires Tom Crean / hires Mike White

[FRANKIEFAN]

Some of fans are unbearable.

Yeah OP Athens GA isn't a fun college town and noone plays basketball in Atlanta... Not a huge fan of Harvey Danger but UGA getting a good local recruit should be no more surprising than Penny keeping all the local talent he coached in HS at Memphis. Why go up the road 4 hours to hang with a bunch of dorks at Duke?

Well that all sounds pretty ominous for Crean.

TBF a lot of bad things can happen over a 10-minute span in Baton Rouge.

Crean is a bum

That won't hurt Crean.
What will hurt is his record at UGA.

Let’s be clear never said he was a good coach. This is about talent. Bazley never made to campus, so he does not count. It’s has been way too long since we had a 5 star on the hill. Facts are Facts

And we literally missed on every top recruit for 2022

Mississippi top three players missing and UGA still gets beat by 17. Goodbye Crean.

Short-handed Ole Miss beats Georgia 85-68

UG is a very !arge self-contained campus. In the old days they had great rock concerts. I've seen my share. They also have the usual strip, Varsity, etc. They obviously have no trouble attracting football players who have their choice of schools.

The Athletic had this note in their article about Crean, and I think it applies to JB’s struggles recruiting and retaining players as well. You just can’t be as much of a hard a$$ anymore. You have to adjust.

—“There’s a good reason for this, and it’s not that Georgia is perceived too much as a ‘football school’ to attract top recruits. It’s Crean. He has a reputation for wearing on players, even among other coaches. This is not a good trait to have at a time when college athletes have been granted more freedom of movement than ever before.

It was a lot easier for a coach to get away with being a hard-ass before. It still can work to some degree if the team, whether it’s basketball or football, has a high-enough stature where the player can rationalize there’s a benefit to sticking it out — like postseason success and visibility. It might work for some football players in Athens. It’s not going to work for many basketball players in Athens. There are just too many viable options for college athletes who are looking to play at the next level.”

Schultz: Results show Georgia's Tom Crean is wrong head coach for the Bulldogs and this era of players

Crean is about to run out of time at Georgia. The right coach years ago seemingly isn’t the right coach now.

This is what could happen with Hop here if he has a good season next year.
