Bad decision in my opinion, but I wasn't consulted. A guy wins two conference championships in four years, then has a .500 season with two major injuries and gets fired. That's not a school I would pursue if I could pick and choose where I wanted to go.

I only hope our recruits will still come and our returning players don't transfer en masse.

My opening-line money is on Alford to be our next coach although we've snubbed him twice in the past. With his kid graduating UCLA, he might want to come home. Stevens has said he's staying with the Celtics, and why Bennett would want to leave the more prestigious ACC for the faltering Big Ten (for anywhere other than his alma mater Wisconsin) is beyond me. That doesn't leave many great candidates unless somehow we can woo Billy Donovan...and I'll be surprised (pleasantly) if that happens, but I don't expect it.

Seriously, going .500 with that crap schedule he made is good enough for you? Said it a few days ago when you posted this in the Ga Tech-IU thread, if they're afraid to be consistent every year then they have no business even being considered here. Sorry, but it seems like you're expectations for the program are super low

I agree the decision was bad. It should have happened last week. They might be making a NIT run now.

I think he does, actually. 

Every email I've ever written Fred I've gotten a personalized email back with direct answers to my questions. If you email him, be sure to put direct questions in the email - not just YOU SHOULD RESIGN. That way you'll know if he actually read it.
