The case for keeping Red

[OrangeXtreme]

Here's the case I'd keep Red in...

If you want to completely tick off your fan base and guarantee the dome being a morgue next year.

Exactly. The hit the university is taking with the decrease in attendance (and concessions) cannot be forgotten.

Because feelings

That is the only reason

The team is 12-6, not 6-12. They have two bad but close losses, one very good win and a great effort vs Houston. Let the season play out and see where we end up in March.

The only reason to keep Red one more year is to decrease the buyout even more and have a ton additional monies to hire next coach. Potentially bigger catch.

Am I missing something? How big is his buyout? Why on EARTH would we give a first time head coach alumnus hire a huge buyout?

You need to travel back to December when anybody cared about the Tennessee win.

Maybe I’ll stay off the forums today…I definitely should have got that!
Have a great day, dasher

Going full Costanza and doing the opposite is all I can come up with.

No costs to reprogram the website, change stationary, or the door name plates in the Melo center.

We have two horrible losses. Most of our wins are against bottom feeders. We beat a decent ten team that is falling apart. Apparently someone told Barnes it was march.

If some super donor is committing some insane amount of money so Cuse can buy a dream team, but Red has to coach, he can stay. We’ll be so good, it doesn’t matter who is coaching.

I’m George, I’m unemployed and I live with my parents

Why can’t people follow directions?!?!

Cut him some slack, it's a simpler life in Blacksburg.

I can't believe his buyout would be that high for a first time, alum, continuity hire head coach. He hadn't proven anything to have all of the money guaranteed on the contract, just silly this is even brought up for this AAU level coach.

Win the next 7 in a row and you might have an argument. Evidence over 2.5 yrs, odds and slim margin of error are working against that outcome. In the spirit of the thread it’s at least a partial answer to the question.

 

[LAorange44]

Keep Red if you are fan of losing

He’s just a Vermont Technical Institute troll… cut him some slack. It took him 20 yrs of posting to finally realize he’s a troll.

 

[CuseFaninVT]

Amen!

I got nothing oh wait...I think Rick Barnes said AA is the "right guy".

Agree but you and I both know all too well that Cuse holds the purse strings very tightly. We are cheap and squeak with every tweak

At this point they need to avoid additional bad losses and win two of the three matchups with UNC/Duke. This is not happening so season is over.
