I doubt he gets fired. He will have to leave on his own or mutually agree to leave for a departure next year in all likelihood.

I'm not sure redshirting and playing in practice vs. our current squad is going to improve them much anyway

Quote from: Billy Hoyle on Today at 12:28:07 PMI wondered which fan base had the smaller proportion of fans who actually took a college class, let alone has set foot in a classroom for either school. I've met two Miami grads in my life.

I lived down there for 8 years and there are plenty of Miami grads. That said, when they played at the Orange Bowl, the vast majority of the people around the stadium were crapheads looking to make trouble. Inside the stadium was better, but still sketchy. And I probably went to ~15 games there. No idea what the crowd is like where they play now. 

All that said, I used to hate Miami with a burning passion (I grew up a Nebraska fan) but think I prefer them to OSU now.  Funny how those feeling change over time. 

Thanks for posting the Blue article. I had never seen it. Very sad and poignant.

Only question about Zaide comes at 2:01.

1000% inaccurate

Quote from: panda on Today at 12:27:39 PMMuch has been made of the current situation of our once storied program. Let's cut to the chase -

Does Shaka deserve another year? Reflexively I say he's simply because of his past accomplishments with the program.

However, examining the situation below surface level, this is a disaster completely of Shaka's own doing.

1 - Roster building malpractice. Shaka carried Al Amadou, Josh Clark and Caedin Hamilton last season when we desperately needed help down low as well as guard depth.

He may have failed with roster building but he's excelled with brand building.

Quote from: HutchwasClutch on Today at 11:46:50 AMThat's certainly understandable.  Both teams/programs nauseate me.

2 - Ignoring the portal. No one is begging for big names or full roster overhaul each season. But when you are looking to create a team who can compete at the highest level, ignoring a roster building strategy which can improve your team is gross negligence.

3 - RGV. Aside from this being an absolute crock...Every other program in the country works on this, like no duh this is just obvious. Shaka completely over backed himself into a corner with this. He's in a no win situation following this year when he will need to have tough conversations with 90% of this roster if we want to compete next season. He either banks on the growth part of RGV for next year (lol) or he becomes what he hates and flips the roster to compete next season.

Which comes to the poll - please vote above.

DePaul just passed MU in Kenpom's rankings and is the new worst team in the Big East.
