Let’s all remember…
Coaches are almost nearly as egotistical as military generals
Coaches hate the fans
Coaches especially hate the media
Coaches have little other than contempt for their AD / GM / president / owner
So coaches will respect the opinions of NOBODY but themselves and in fact would be apt to do the opposite of what the “unwashed” want.
Often that is for the best, fans and especially media are largely uniformed at best, idiots at most.
But in this case the situation is obvious even to the “ungrown asses”.
But he won’t listen to us so he only hope is for his bosses to intervene. Because the way this is going it won’t just impact this season (with the tickets and donations already in the books), but next season, and far reaching implications for the program down the line as far as conference jockeying and future revenues.
But, alas, at our school, they don’t give a sh1t. The AD knows she’s leaving soon. The chancellor only took the job to ESCAPE the sports obsessed Big Ten (and ugly legal entanglements…nice hire as usual Pitt). Her first move here was to neuter the basketball team. No help coming from these sources
The man is mentally ill in this and the only thing to do is wait it out and starve the program of money and attendance to try to force something, but it won’t happen this year
