So who’s head explodes if we lose to Depaul tonight?

[Juan Anderson's Mixtape]

The Big East coaches predicted MU would be 7th. MU tied for 6th. Hmm...

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

How can you assert that so definitively? Not trying to be a wiseass. Whose expectations? Were there criteria set by the university? Different people have differing expectations, and some of the discourse would indicate that he has not met with the expectations of some. If you are referring to your own expectations that should be included in the comment.

The expectations of the only people who matta (not us fans)

This is it exactly...my problem with those of us that have higher expectations, get blasted and are told "our expectations are too high". Who says?? The crowd that doesn't have as high of expectations?? It's not like those of us with higher expectations have said he needed to win a national Championship already, so they can't cite that our expectations are unrealistic...they aren't, far from it. Perhaps it's just because those that are satisfied to this point, just don't care all that much....or...they are the type that always think they are the smartest people in the room...they know who they are.

Guru,  I don't think I've ever blasted you or anyone for having higher expectations. I don't agree but don't think I've insulted anyone just for wanting more faster. If I have I apologize. I just know that the ones signing the checks understand that rebuilds are a process and have done the research to show that they are usually right. Program is trending upward and that is the most important thing. Make no mistake,  I am desperate to be back on top....i just want to stay there after we arrive

[Its DJOver]

People can have whatever expectations they want. But some of these people that have higher expectations dish out just as much as they receive. You can have higher expectations and write to the BOT telling them to fire wojo, but if you broadcast that fact on here, don't be surprised if people criticize you for doing so. Everyone believes that they're right, and bottom line is we can't all be.  Don't complain that you're taking criticism for your opinion if you're criticizing other peoples, whatever opinion you may have.

No...you have been very good TAMU...No problems with you...but, certain people like Sultan have, and quickly jumps on anyone that says they are disappointed with where things are to this point.

Please define "trending upward". Not sure that can be said. 20-13, no NCAA or NIT bid, to 19-13, NCAA bid, to where we are this year, on the bubble, does not establish an upward trend. Have not looked it up, but have we not been in 6th or 7th place in conference the last 3 years? Not really seeing an upward trend here. Glad you do, though.

The expectations of the golden power point:

Year 1: Field a team
Year 2: Get Better
Year 3: Make the NCAA
Year 4: Weather the graduations,  still make the postseason
Year 5: High NCAA seed
Year 6: Compete for BEast crown,  legitimate final four contender
Year 7+: Sustained success

So it was written. So it shall be

Yeah, it sure is great to write, "field a team". And even better, So it shall be. That is really a CYA expectation.

What were your expectations for year one then? Wojo should get a pass that year more than any other. Not about to make sand knit drink but you know the cliche

Deal with it sunshine.

So you are referring to his employers, the Board, since Woj is still employed? Fair enough, I guess that's the bottom line. Even they may not be thrilled, but have other factors to take into consideration.

[muguru]

Deal with it sunshine.

Why do you have to always jump on people that don't share your point of view, and insist on trying to beat it into them that they are wrong, and you are right?? I forgot, you are a basketball guru(self anointed).

This is true...Didn't you say yourself in a different thread today that you don't worry about losses too much?? Yes, yes you did. If losses don't affect you, then how can you say you care?? Whether you are a player or a fan it SHOULD bother you(if you care that is)?? If losing to DePaul tonight, doesn't keep you from sleeping, and doesn't ruin the rest of your weekend...I don't know what to say.

What I said is that I don't get angry when they lose.  Don't confuse people's response to how much they care.

Wow.  My bad TAMU.  I had NO idea you were part of the hiring process and were present during the "golden power point?"  Who else was present with you in the room during Wojo's interview?

[mileskishnish72]

Actually, Wojo has met season expectations every year including this year. He hasn't exceeded them but he has met them.

That's pretty precise. You got a pipe to the BOT?

[GoldenZebra]

My head would explode. The season is on the line tonight, they need to win.

[D'Lo Brown]

Wow.  My bad TAMU.  I had NO idea you were part of the hiring process and were present during the "golden power point?"  Who else was present with you in the room during Wojo's interview?

I think you need a long break from scoop.

Similarly, I'll definitely be taking a break from scoop myself if we lose tonight or don't make the tourney. The ridiculously childish flaming and literal nonsense will definitely peak in those scenarios. We'll all be looking forward to you and your kind crawling back under your rocks for the offseason.

[Dr. Blackheart]

Good chance he was...

[MU82]

I am voicing my opinion to people who accept the mediocre. Wojo has been underwhelming and deserves the criticism. 

Bob Wild hates Wojo, haven't seen him at a game recently. He's pissed.

Wojo smokes dope MU82. Face it. The guy is stoned. Not staying in the zone, inconsistent level of play, losing players. He's forgetful. Your wise guy loose tie attitude isnt accepted around here.

I also saw your post saying he'd be gone in any other marriage. I hope so, I like my spouse to be reliable and consistent. You on the other hand must let yours suck....

So angry.

Seek help.

Don't you think there was some kind of expectation about how many guys would stay on after the transition? Or about how Wojo would be received by the team? I would imagine that the "check writers" look at any incoming coach's ability to sell vets on the nw program, even if the expectation isn't 100% retention. Of course, that kind of stuff is never made public, but that's got to be a big part of the initial evaluation. Or at least I would assume it would be.

That does not answer my question. Knowing what we had, I had low expectations for year one that were more or less met. Mostly because Wojo showed an ability to recruit at a high level.

I'm just saying that  sure there were some internal evaluations that we're important in year one. Bars that we're set higher than to just field a team. As fans, we won't know, but any new year coach doesn't just get a complete free pass in his first year. I just think the things that matter for his livelihood are less measurable than wins and losses.

Agree that wojo shouldn't have gotten a pass if he went 0-whatever, but I was asking willies opinion on what expectations should have been since he appeared to be disappointed after year one, that's a pretty short leash if you ask me.

Not losing to Omaha at home would have been a nice thing.
