HB

If all you're gonna do is give him a year, then give him the year and the nice public statement a month ago. Would have reduced the wind-twisting, teeth gnashing, and speculation. And the appearance that you've made the call that he isn't your guy. Again, not arguing the merits of that call, but the handling of this has sucked.

And again (as Doc would say), sources indicate this wasn't all Moos; that Bounds was quite involved.

Well, let's just hope that with a year to work on a replacement, Moos makes a killer hire.

Yep, the old "how dumb does he think we are?" I wouldn't even bother filling the assistant position. Unless Norm wants it for a year. I assume Jamel White's uncle has moved on to other things.

Like your takes on here, but have to disagree that we have stability with the head coach or even an illusion of it. So far 3 straight years without an extension. Last year no supportive comments from the AD. Promises of addressing things after the season but then crickets. This year any comments from the AD were delayed, then tepid and vague. Comments that it would be addressed after the final 4, but still nothing. If we go head to head on any recruit, there is no way the other school won't address instability with the head coach.

If there is a song titled "We're totally screwed" would someone please post it?

That's around on another board but u might want to cut it in half.

Not a revelation, that's been getting posted about for weeks

"Easily"? Are u nuts. There is no recovery. We're a year out from knowing who our coach will be, and we can even start recruiting. The cupboard will be completely bare for Miles'' successor. We'll be going thru then"start from scratch" phase once again.

Wow, with all that's going on I would put this at the bottom of a list of our problems. Losing Xavier is a big deal. This wouldn't be.

I don't buy the term "penalized".

Well then they might as well do away with letters of intent. What's the point if politics make them meaningless? How far down does the "not having the best interest at heart" go? Head coach is one thing, then assistant. Pretty soon it will be a release has to be given if the student manager changes.

Pretty obvious reasons why we're not hitting the recruiting trail hard right now. What wind twisting begets

Well, if he still has a shot, then the University's inaction is really perplexing, become it screws the pooch on the succeeding years. The impact of the recruiting problem and difficulties with replacing Hunter will be felt after next year. And to me this isn't just about Moos. Their is some guy whose initials are HB (also) who is in his ear. If Miles truly has a shot, why tie his hands? Money? Give me a break, we throw that around lie candy at a parade.

It's HB official

And for those of you who don't think this goes higher than Moos, again, please exit the dream world and enter the real one.

No, we don't agree. No quality coaches will want the job. The entire situation absolutely and directly will dramatically limit the pool of candidates for them coaching position. Not a hard concept

Your point? Man we have a lot of people living in a dream world on here. Yeah, there are all kind of great coaches waiting in line to go someplace so they can be looking for a job again the next year

Jimmy, i'm pissed at life right now, but that's some hilarious shit right there; thanks.

So, your thoughts on how we get a good assistant under the circumstances?

One more year vs. one more shot. Let's not pretend he has a shot. Plus, the choices weren't between firing him now and trying us up for 6 years.

Yeah, he never gets tossed. But he has a lot of mystical sayings about the game

How did I do, B-Town?

Well, Nana is gone also, but I wouldn't call that a big band aid rip off.

Then if he's not going to fire him he should have extended him and provided public support in timely fashion. Had Eichorst extended him in either of the previous years, and provided any public support, Moos could have bought time. But not under the existing circumstances
