TOM CREAN FIRED

[yogisballin]

We're all getting excited throwing around names of replacements and we'll end up getting smacked in the damn mouth by him not going anywhere.  Haha

I fear this!

We need a coach that gets pissed when it isn't going right.  Demand what he wants or take a seat.  Not always so positive which leads to no player learning a lesson.  There is always a place for encouragement but there is also a place for "if u don't wanna play MY way, have a seat."  Kids gotta know who's boss.

Crean does this to the 1-2 players he wants creaned. To "try" to make an example of! But obviously it doesn't work on the ones he wants to get that point across to

As for CTC as a recruiter, I think he's shown that he's good at identifying talent.  Unfortunately, for whatever reason, he's failing more and more at signing those players.

Pretty easy to "identify talent" when you throw out as many schollys as we do.  Even a blind dog can find a fire hydrant.

"But sometimes, two parties have to look at one another and admit their best years are behind them and separation makes sense for all involved."    

That's it in a nutshell and it's where we're at today.

I dont want this to get ugly. I believe if we are forced to suffer through another year of Crean (combined with the projected roster next year) this will be extremely ugly. Do it now is best for both sides.

If he's back next year idk what I'll do. It'll make me not want to watch a single game (even though I'll watch all of them) I just won't be excited for the start of next season

Imagine next year without OG, Bryant, and James with CTC as the head coach.

I think that Crean is a great recruiter. But what it boils down to is the fact that he isn't an Xs and Os guy. Down the stretch time and time again he gets out coached. It's time for a change.

I think the recruiting thing is way overrated.We always lack something.To many guards,Not enough shooters,No point guard.No depth underneath,so on and so on.His scattershot aproach lends to unbalanced rosters and we suffer while he chases the next shiny object when theres not a chance in hell we will get them.

 

To plagiarize Josh,FIRE HIM,THIS IS EMBARRASSING!

What's the purpose of this post?  To drive people to drinking?  I would advise against it, it's a suicide mission because the human body can't handle that amount of alcohol.

Fred Glass will lose this entire fan base if Crean is back. And Fred should then be questioned about his spot

[Yogi's Picnic Basket]

That piece was so spot on it was scary. It wasn't even Brennan either, which makes it worse. Doing some research on some podcast and Medcalf also says this recruiting class suffered by not knowing if Crean would be here to coach any of them. That means internally there have been discussions. This is the first time this may actually be real. Unless we take a page from Syracuse last year that is the one thing that saves him. A tourney appearance doesn't do it IMO. With OG and TB almost definitely gone and JBJ as well this would be the time. I am saying this though. WHOEVER coaches us next year deserves one year to get it together. I'm not saying a 6-25 season I'm saying a 19-20 win season. And probably a 8 or 9 seed. The following year will be when expectations rise to contending for a title.

For anyone considering Altman, I went back to the first year KenPom kept data, 2002 near the middle of his Creighton tenure, and figured up his career average AdjD.  That's 16 seasons, including this year, and his average AdjD is 75.5; if you throw out the highest and lowest as I did for Crean, it improves slightly to 74.  Not even close to championship caliber.

Aside from that he's coming up on his 30th year as a coach and has gotten past the 2nd round a total of twice with no appearances past the Elite 8, considerably less impressive than Crean's wildly mediocre track record.  He's like a lesser Tom Crean with typically less bad defense.
