Agree. At least Crean brings a lot of energy and efforts. Currently, Crean's been doing his absolute best at UGA to increase fan support and popularity.

There's a lot of ego baggage wrapped up into what Dakich says too...think he may have wanted one of the Indiana boys at the helm above and beyond most logical option.

What a disaster that would of been. If Alford got the job I was prepared to tap out completely. Not sure I could stick to it but it was that serious. Hearing the bullshit from Dakich about needing an Indiana guy in and how an Indiana guy was next in line infuriated me. I don’t trust Glass in the slightest and I wonder just how differently this would have played out if not for Alfords sleazy handling of the Pierre case and how a small sect of fans were vocal about it.

They had fired a guy who went to 3 Final Fours in like 5 seasons I believe. Actually it was 3 FF's in a row......Howland didn't get fired for his lack of success, but rather what was going on behind the scenes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why no trust for Glass? He didn’t hire Crean. He made the tough decision of firing him one year removed from B10 title (despite it being clearly the right decision). Then made a great hire with Archie. And Tom Allen too. Just don’t understand the animosity for Freddy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moren has done a tremendous job at running the women's basketball program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brass Cannon Posted September 16, 2018 Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 Lemonis under achieved most if not all years he was here. I am very excited about Mercer. I am concerned that we dont seem to go further than Dayton Ohio for coaches though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There seemed to be some loud voices who actually wanted Alford, but Glass didn’t bow to that pressure. I was terrified that it might happen.

He took a team that had the hottest start ever and finished up so weak they came in 5th. And no it’s not negativity when a depressing prediction comes true. It’s called being objective and realistic.

Lol no.. I dont really care about an unbalanced schedule, especially when Milto gets injured and that's why we struggled. 40-19 and got a 2 seed. He literally had the best 4 year stint in IU baseball history. You see one magical run to Ohama and think that's the norm. Smh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
