  1. The donors need to feel they will get ROI. Without that, the NIL will be lacking. But trust me, the money is there.
  2. My prediction will be 5 wins. I could see as many as 7 and as few as 3.
  3. Correct, it is still ultimately his decision and he has to bare the consequences though. But yes, Barnes era money men were influential in the decision.
  4. Idk, I base my analysis on merit, but optics is what everyone is telling me. Draw your own conclusions. He wasnt qualified and had never experienced success at any level as a head coach. When he was given the keys to a final 4 team, he lost a double digit lead in the final 10 minutes of the elite 8 to an inferior team. This was entirely predictable and 90% of the board knew it. I know you were thrilled with the hire, but most people werent. And now we get to look like clowns for two seasons. Got punked by Tenn last year in the tourney and now we are getting punked by 20 by the aggies. Gonna be a long season.
  5. For starters, not retaining Terry. And secondarily, it aint up to me. I will let CDC conduct a proper search. Something he didnt do the first time.
  6. Haha, I know man. I was trying to avoid politics. We all know why this hire was made. Sad that he didnt stand up for what was right because everyone knew would happen if he got hired.
  7. Agree, we need a homerun hire. No excuses for CDC this time. Let's see how bad this season gets before we make the proclamation it wont be.
  8. I was accounting for the 2 seasons he is coaching plus 1 year to rebuild.
  9. Cant wait to watch Beard eviscerate Terry. What a fucking joke that we came into the SEC with this clown.
  10. Chris Beard gave us an elite 8 team but he did not force us to hire Terry. That was a decision made by CDC.
  11. Nobody is advocating to fire CDC. People are criticizing him for fucking up this hire. Which he did. Unless you think this is an acceptable product on the floor. This is pathetic.
  12. Getting your ass waxed by 20 points by the aggies in your SEC opener is pretty fucking pathetic. This dude is gonna set our program back 2-3 years.
  13. RichUT and you, because you said he did the right thing. If the product you see on TV is the right thing, then idk what to say.
  14. "TeXaS iS RaCiSt BeCaUsE.... they didnt give a head coaching job to a guy that never achieved success at any level of basketball EXCEPT when he was handed the keys to the ferrari" And I would argue that he underachieved by losing to Miami. Choked a massive second half lead. But hey, we may have wasted two seasons, but at least nobody thinks we are racist now, even though the coach before Beard was black too.
  15. I will disagree until the cows come home, but that's because I dont bend my knee to "optics". I guess we are all just gonna give this abortion of a hire a free pass because of that. Cool cool.
  16. So who are we gonna hire in the offseason after we lose in the first round of the CBI?
  17. So we threw away 2 years of our program for political optics? Cool. Maybe CDC will remember his job is to make tough decisions and not cave to the woke mob. Pretty sad that 90% of the board knew the hire was an abject dud but "optics" prevented us from conducting a proper search.
  18. When we were playing powerhouses like Chicago State, Miss Valley State, Delaware State, New Mexico State, and Northwestern State. Now that the state schools are done, we will revert back to reality.
  19. Impossible situation? Everyone and their brother knew that Terry was a terrible hire. Almost nobody here thought he deserved the job. But CDC decides to give it to him without even conducting a coaching search. This is a product of CDC getting swept up in the emotion of the moment.
  20. One of the all time black eyes for CDC is going to be this hire. Huge error on his part. Got swept up in the emotion of the run and made a very bad decision without conducting a proper search. Hopefully he learned his lesson so nothing like this ever happens again.
