Was this his response to TCUs coach?

Yep and it wasn’t even a serious one Me hiring the neighbors dog to do my taxes is an equally serious hire.

Does it still not feel real to anybody else?

Yep. Who knows though. UK might need a new coach after next year.

The coach Cig special. Take a capable player who was under or misdeveloped and turn him into a stud.

Hopefully TCU makes the playoffs so Cig can show him what a coach looks like

Is this like how I’m interested in doing a triathlon. Or like I’m interested in eating a donut?

Yeah not sure why he would go to UNC. Michigan is gonna let him do whatever just like UNC

I know the trophy is traveling but is it on display somewhere in btown to get a picture taken when it’s not traveling?

Now Woodson went to Sacramento and they start winning just when they are supposed to be tanking. Dude can’t do anything right

Man Iowa thought they lost out. How glad are they that we stole DeVries now

Don’t enter the transfer portal without a complete staff when your team isn’t even playing in the tournament. How’s that for tangible non slogan catch phrases thats a very clear bare minimum. Not having a staff after 6 weeks is insanely stupid. Coaches are lined up and hired all the time while they are still coaching. Getting strung along by candidates trying to get a bigger offer elsewhere isn’t an excuse. It’s a screw up.

This fans base wants to be successful. But aren’t willing to have standards and expectations. I think Bob Knight said something about that

Losers whine about the obstacles Every loser we hire gets the same excuse made for them. Crean didn’t know the mess he was getting. Archie didn’t know the mess he was getting. Woody didn’t know the mess he was getting and now DD didn’t know what a mess he was walking into. If the door is closed you open or break it down. Stop letting obstacles lead us to failure.

Making decisions quickly and decisively and not being a victim of escalation of commitment. 45 days to assemble a staff is ridiculous. Dolson should have been all over DeVries. I manage an onsite vendor at my job and if they aren’t filling open positions I’m asking them what’s the hold up. And obviously the retread of holding onto coaches clearly after they have hit lame duck status. Look at Cig he moves fast and doesn’t waste time. We won the rose bowl and signed the bulk of our class nucleus all in the same week. While preparing to obliterate Oregon at the same time. Our basketball program can’t seem to do anything quickly. Which might work if we were doing things well. But instead we get a mediocre effort 3 weeks late.

Yep. I just don’t care anymore. This administration and fanbase have been ok with mediocrity for along time. I don’t think that changes. We aren’t willing to do the hard things that need done to get better

This fanbase is surreal at times. It’s like we’ve already started to forget the 6 minute long scoring droughts

Cool sometimes you need a guy who can manufacture a bucket to end a 5 minute scoring drought. Wilkerson wasn’t a good enough scorer to do that

Silly me to say that Wilkerson couldn’t be counted on to score. Based only on a season of watching him not be able to be counted on to score. Silly me

A low hit rate class of player is gonna succeed once or twice if you get enough of them. Just look at Creans era. Bit even Wilkerson wasn’t some certified go to scorer who could put his head down and get some points when we needed to stop the bleeding

Still don’t know why it took 43 days to round out a staff

Yep we would get a 12 point lead and just start running junk offense and before you knew it the lead would be 4

Yeah they kept throwing the ball through that net thing it kept distracting the refs

They were done a few weeks ago to be fair

Out of curiosity how many first year coaches made the tourney this year?
