Probability that this JB's last season

[Oakland]

I'll say 41%.

 

[RF2044]

Prior to this weekend, I would have guessed that there was a pretty low probability. JB's recent comments in the media / overt defiance made it sound like he wouldn't be stepping away anytime soon.

But after yesterday's festivities, it seems like a perfect way to go out. A celebration of his pinnacle achievement, with a bunch of beloved players back in town, two jerseys hoisted up into the rafters, winning big at home after a difficult couple of losses, etc.

And a big crowd there to commemorate, setting aside the disappointing season.

Not quite a storybook perfect ending, but would be a pretty cool way to ride off into the sunset. I'm thinking more like 75% now.

 

[Trueblue25]

90%

 

[kcsu]

20%

 

[Jake]

Closer to 90% than 20%.

 

[PoppyHart]

50-50. But there's only a 10% chance of that.

 

[kcsu]

Closer to 90% than 20%.

Wow that would be something.

 

[Cuse4455]

Depends on who leaves and who stays. IMO

[Zelda Zonk]

0%.
I do not get what I want.

 

[SUfanNC]

Closer to 90% than 20%.

So you are really saying over 50%?

I can’t seem him quitting like this but we shall see

I won't believe he's ever leaving until it's official.

 

[721Comstock]

44%.

But seriously, the way he’s talking he wants to run it back for at least one more year.

Do Wildhack, Syverud, BOT, etc have the stones to tell him that’s not an option, and they’re allowing him to retire right now?

I doubt it more and more.
Sigh.

This would literally be the best possible time for him to step aside.
We have no impact recruits we need to worry about losing.
(ND lost all their croots after Brey “retired”)

And the new guy can Pound The Portal to fill the talent gaps, which is something JAB has no energy or desire to do.

0-5%
He's leaving on his terms, period.
And he wouldn't wanna give the "other 5%", you know- the ones who don't come to games but call radio shows...he wouldn't wanna give them the satisfaction of leaving on their terms.
He'll do at least one more year, regardless- unless Julie steps in and forces the issue. JMHO

Ol Dirty bastard has a psyched team that now believes. He will win ACC tournament and make a Sweet 16 run.

Damn him! Damn that man!

So you are really saying over 50%?

if you take the average it would be 55%

Although I want his departure ASAP, I do not believe this will be the year.
Just reading the tea leaves, that is my impression.

0% chance, he will not leave before going to the tournament again, so long as it remains his choice.

 

[kcsu]

Gus will soldier on!

 

[rrlbees]

I’m 50% confident that it’s 50/50.
