[quote="Mike Zaun" post=333134][quote="SJU11phd" post=333132]I don't even understand why he would want to come back. Notice how Bobby Hurley stood up the whole game and was engaged with his team, while Mullin sat next to coach Mitch sulking and not doing anything (as usual). The successful coaches in college basketball are eat sleep and breathe coaching, and recruiting. Heck Coach K has absolutely nothing to prove to anyone, and yet he still is in high school gyms recruiting players. Mullin just doesn't have that desire it seems. Which is fine, just resign, and let Cragg hire someone who does for the sake of everyone involved with the program. This program is going absolutely no where with Mullin in charge, he is just lazy and incompetent.[/quote]
I think the same...he doesn't even act like he wants it and even when he says he does all we get is 32 games below .500 in conference play and crapping the bed every year BET and beyond. Not putting effort in recruiting. No show gig that pays well.[/quote]
I think both sides have go to know it isn't working out. I don't see any future with Mullin at the helm. I love LJ, Simon, and Heron, but even if they all came back next year in addition to all our transfers and recruits what's the ceiling? Maybe being competitive in the Big East and making the NIT?
We're not paying our coach $2 mil a year (which is a lot for SJU) to be mediocre. I'd be more than willing to sacrifice all the above players leaving and being absolutely horrible for 2 years to get a coach in here who actually wants to coach, and has a plan for the program going forward.
