What would make you show Shaka the door in March?

Yes, it definitely is worse than a run-of-the-mill "bad season." Not sure how anybody could define it as anything other than a sports disaster.

OTOH, unlike Kyle Neptune at Nova, Shaka delivered a significant amount of good before this sports disaster, so to many folks there's at least some room for nuance.

I would define it as a Gargantuan/🦣"sports disaster".  There's no other way to see it.  Pushing #200 NET?  Cannot Happen at Marquette.  We must respond from this debacle as quickly as humanly possible.

I agree the Neptune comparison was not apples to apples. He was just someone who jumped to mind as being universally perceived as in over his head in the BE as a coach, but was never this year's MU bad.

Aside from the 'just bad' or 'disaster' season debate, the bigger question in my head is how did Shaka get here? I follow the logic of Shaka being arrogant or so fully convinced that his system would work, but it still seems unlikely for such a successful, experienced and intelligent coach.

Some of the reasons put forth would make sense if Shaka was in his 5th year of being a HC, but that dismisses all his accomplishments. I'm probably wrong, but I still think something else is going on.

We - as in Scoopers - have responded. Quickly and forcefully. Over and over again. Such as ...

It's a theory. We'll see!

Hurley, Few, and Izzo agree.

Will Izzo be turning down that Greg and Dawn Williams NIL money?
Are these guys lobbying their universities - over which they all have tremendous influence - to make the necessary changes to bring this under control, or just complaining to the media?

Shaka can be shown the door by NYE please.

Shaka can be shown the door by NYE please. 

One year from a NCAA team, and we have a thread about "showing Shaka the door". My, how quickly things change. It is likely that Shaka can see the handwriting on the wall next to the door. Has he dug a hole/chasm that will be extremely difficult to climb out of?
