But if the best argument you can come up with is that 'We can't keep doing this because the next coach could be just as bad or worse" you know you have run out of defensible arguments for the current staff.
But I honestly think the reality is much worse. I think the administration has boxed themselves and I don't see a way out at this point.[/quote]
THAT is the reality.
They hired their greatest player who never had an interest in coaching.
They hired a legend nobody wanted to criticize and certainly would not want to fire.
Now, if it doesn't work out, the only way out of that box is to hope he would gracefully resign.
If that's not being boxed in then I don't know what is.
This thread is both premature and unfair at this point. Unless the team implodes there is likely no discussion taking place at the university regarding firing Chris Mullin.[/quote]
Define implode.[/quote]
Unable to deal with the pressure and the team breaks down or falls apart from within : SELF-DESTRUCT. That would happen if another player leaves, if we lose most of the remaining games and fail to even make the NIT.
Then the AD and President may have a serious discussion.
Going .500 will not get him fired.
I have no doubt about it.[/quote]
I certainly think there is an excellent chance we finish under .500 in conference. I suspect we will get an NIT invite if for no other reason that we are a local team and will fill seats. Certainly expect at least one transfer out. Probably after the season is over.[/quote]
Like the 10 person “crowd” at CA for NIT home opener debacle loss to Robert Morris in Lav days.

Ouch! Did you have to remind of that? I was there and I consider it one of the lowest points in my years as a game attendee.[/quote]
