Lavin addresses "rumors"
- Thread starter thetux1
- Start date
Yeah I'm likely reading in to it to much. But at a time when we're questioning Lavin's handle on the team, it makes me wonder if the relationship between he and the kids is a little to casual. Who knows, maybe Coach Wooden was known as Woody to his players
I wonder why he felt it necessary to dispel this rumor with so many others he's never addressed ie; the Dlo suspension, weird starting lineup changes and the general secrecy surrounding recruiting. This guy's as inconsistent as they come and The team has followed suit under his "leadership."

He may just do that particularly if he leaves this year :lol:

My guess is that, if things end badly for Lavin at St John's, he WOULD end his coaching career here (at least at the major conference level)
"I want to finish my career at St. John's"
This quote was painful. I sincerely hope we do not have suffer through this guy too much longer.
I take his quotes as vague. I don't think he will coach after St. John's so if he leaves after this year or next his career is finished. Even though he said he has no intention of leaving, I think he would of said he would love to be here many years if that was what he wanted. I predict one or two more years. I don't see him staying long being unsuccessful and I don't see this team turning it around.
I don't doubt this, as there wouldn't be any market for his services out of the teams he would even consider.
I wholeheartedly believe he expects this team to flourish next season. They only lose GG and Sanchez to graduation, and they could potentially return everyone while regaining Jones. I don't think any coach would ever voluntarily walk away from a senior class they built to never coach again. If anything, I think he'd leave on a high note the following year when we are due to lose just about everyone.

Consider that the SJU job destroyed the coaching credibility for every coach since coach C.

If he got an outstanding X's and O's guy and he relied on him we'd see a different team out there. When Dunlap was around at crunch time it was almost always Dunlap drawing up the play.
Isn't this yet another example of Lavin hurting the program? By not bringing in any 2014 recruits, we are sure to find ourselves in the same precarious situation (all freshman) as we did in his first year. Didn't we all agree that it is better to have a staggard approach? God forbid Lavin is still here for that. Then we will all get to enjoy his "we're the youngest team in the county" quotes before and after every contesti

I agree. Semantics. If he gets fired or leaves on his own terms after this year ,what high major program is going to want him. He has a lot of money, he could go back to ESPN. Being a head coach could be very rewarding but it also can cause a lot of aggravation.Hence,SJU would be his last coaching job.
