Capel quotes

He's good at PR and coach speak and he's a likable guy. Realistically, his career is probably in terminal condition and he's hanging on for whatever money he can milk out of Pitt before he's fired/bought out. So sad this is where we are.

Why does everyone say he’s likeable? When have you ever met a dukie that was likeable? He is a dukie through and through. And he has an open contempt for this place not being as good as Duke? Why is he likeable? Because he shares the obvious view that Black Lives Matter?

He’s out of touch with reality, his team and the common man. Don’t find him likeable at all.
 
If I hear my coach say, "We need to get better players," I probably wouldn't want to play for him next year.
If you think any coach isn’t always saying that - you’re pretending
Hell Dave wannstedt literally said “we need to run faster “ while getting boat races again by wvu at halftime

I’ve met plenty of likeable Dukies since I lived in that area for 14 years
That’s a stupid take , man.
You don’t think grant hill and Elton brand are likeable?

We all know it. It's another thing to say it, especially when you've brought in one recruit in two years.

Agreed! You hit the nail on the head.
He has reached Stallings-like level of dislike for me. He’s got to go and today won’t be soon enough.

When he was hired, I was upbeat and wanted him to succeed, partly because he seemed sincere and likeable. Now I find him irritating and annoying and very insincere. He is totally out of touch with reality with anything.
 
How you have improved the culture? Not a lot going on here

 
Surprised to some extent some players are not already in the portal.

They aimed for it, but.... brick.

JJ Redick turned out pretty likable as far as athletes go and I absolutely hated him at Duke.

I mean hell as far as unlikeable because he’s such a competitive Dick - Christian Laettner qualifies -
But if he was as good as a pro as other competitive dicks - say Michael Jordan and Larry Bird - it’s funny how those narratives flip in time

Like Capel, Wannstedt should have recognized the team’s weaknesses and fixed them before they became an issue during the season.

To say such things during or at the end of the season just exposes a coach who does not evaluate and anticipating well. You just point out the obvious. That does not make them look like a smart coach. It makes them look like a pathetic excuse maker.

These coaches get paid way too much to allow their teams to get to this point and then make such comments. Either prove you can get it done or hand over the keys .
