This isn’t necessarily who I would have wanted but USF just got a guy that was 10 seconds away from knocking us out of the NIT at home. Same guy who recruited Brandon Miller to Bama and led a large NIL push for Arkansas State. Obviously he wasn’t available but compared to a hire made by a worse basketball program in our conference, this is very underwhelming.

No head coach NIT experience, no NCAA tournament experience, no conference championships, no major transfer threats from his roster, led a team that was 109 spots below us in NET rankings, 2-13 in Quad 1/2 games. He very well may work out, and I hope he does, but this is the hire you make when you wont financially commit to taking a step forward.

Surely if we add some chips and salsa along with the fajitas we could convince Drew to take a pay cut

If we're not hiring from within, some names to check out Bryce Drew – Grand Canyon 284–148 2 NIT visits, 7 NCAAT visits Alan Huss – High Point 56–15 CBI runner up, 1 NCAAT visit Craig Smith – Utah 290–170 2 NIT visits, 2 NCAAT visits Eric Henderson – South Dakota State 129–60 2 NCAAT visits Brian Wardle – Bradley 276–210 5 NIT visits, 1 NCAAT visit

What’s the scheduling conflict for OKST? I’ve seen a few comments about it but haven’t actually seen what the conflict is.

The team actually didn’t look that bad today. Could very easily just be a head coach away from being a competitive program.

You're lying to yourself to cope

Genuine question. If Seth was fired for plateauing and not continuing to elevate the program then why are so many unproven/mediocre candidates being talked about? I can get behind moving on from Seth if the narrative is that he wouldn't be able to hang with the top tier so we're going to get a top tier coach. But only two people on this list have experience being the head coach of a team that competed with the top tier. Why is there not more discussion on names like Paul Chryst, David Shaw, Ed Orgeron? Maybe we end up feeling like they're not the best fit but I'm just trying to figure out where the fan bases expectations are and why everyone's earlier outcry is not matching their current thought process.

Genuinely curious. Can someone explain to me why this is a bad take when Kyler went first overall and Mason likely won’t ever play in the NFL? Theoretically, according to the responses to this post, Kyler Murray also goes number 1 overall if he played one season at UNT?

Thank you. This was the only logical response thus far

Can someone answer this question? I see a lot of people angry at the department for not having producing a pick but I’m missing what they could have done with Mason specifically to ensure that he gets drafted

Poor attendance almost never reflects poorly on a student. That falls on admin and coaches. There’s a lot of reasons that he should be criticized for the decision but the impact to attendance isn’t one of them.

But like, it doesn’t. If attendance drops this season it’s highly unlikely that the program loses scholarships in the immediate season. The decision to redshirt literally won’t affect him financially at all. I’m not saying it’s right I’m just saying it is what it is.

That really has nothing to do with these young men’s decision though. They’re not getting paid regardless of if fans show up or not.
