Could we please fire Slocum now
penguin4ever:
Ok, Now that it is clear that Slocum must go it could be time to start thinking of his replacement. I'll toss a name out there: Mike Rice Jr. I believe he is coaching 6&7 grade girls basketball in New Jersey. His last interview with ESPN he stated he would like to coach again at the college level. I think his hiring would be interesting and then we can truly be known as the University who gives Coaches a second chance.
YsuPride:
Interesting if we would get someone like Rice Jr. Besides his temper he is good coach. We just need a young energetic coach. We don't have that now for sure
Penguin Nation:
When kids get busted showing their prick to unsuspecting ladies on campus, or get busted with plants, I say give 'em a second chance.
But when adults do this...it's a very different situation:
"The situation changed dramatically on April 2, 2013, when ESPN's Outside the Lines aired several hours of video from Rice's practices. According to ESPN, the video, provided to Pernetti by then-assistant coach Eric Murdock, showed Rice berating, pushing, kicking, cursing, using homophobic slurs, and throwing basketballs at players during practice"

That quote leaves out that he was throwing basketballs at their heads. IDK why Rice escaped criminal charges for assault.....the case would be a slam dunk.
I say he is a sociopath. I wouldn't send my kid to play at YSU with him coaching there. I am not impressed with his response to the scandal either, where he pretended to be the victim.

I vote Marlon Smoke Williamson. Detroit connection, yes. Knows Youngstown and the program, yes. I know he has far from the credentials we should be looking for...but no way he could be as bas as what we got.

Hire somebody under the age of 50 please.
