Slocum Retiring

<< < (4/6) > >>

jbags:
Let the speculation begin...As mentioned already Rick McFadden..Pat Beilein...
.and some of my own candidates...Jason Gee...Danny Peters...Marlon Williamson and although he would never leave Walsh ,Jeffy Young..
One more name that would never get a chance bit should get one Mike Rice Jr

Wick250:
Bashing or praising Slocum is now irrelevant.  My attention is only on the search for the new coach.  Does anybody know if Strollo will use a search committee or handle the process himself, as he did with John Barnes? 

ytowngirl:
Thank god.  Time to get a new young and motivated coach.  Basketball may not be a draw but losing like he did is unacceptable on any level.

 You have yet to show any data or results that indicate their is any benchmark to show his 12 years was a success.  Please don't give me abstract, subjective BS; like the program is better off, and his kids graduate.  That is garbage.  What my employer wants to see is results, and if I don't produce, I will be unemployed, and that is the way it should be.  You sound like a liberal heart democrat.

 His teams terrible on defense, he lost 68% of his game, 5-14 in the conference tournament.  Those are facts.

Yes and considering we have never had a winning DI program, those same figures can be taken out of just about any year. Obviously you do not know anything about coaching MBB at YSU. Slocum does, so simply respect it and if you cannot then it is your issue; so why drag it out because you want to bury someone and stomp on their grave? That is simply juvenile & my mother taught me to respect people. You should never be happy you lost a coach: 1. either they were good and wanted out, or they were not good to begin with. Both are a reflection on your program. This is not going to change with the next hire.

I know that people are going to say ...so what if we get a good coach and he leaves ...well I do not want that, I want the same coach until he retires. I want a guy who wants to be here. This is what we lost  and people simply cannot see that.

jbags:
The problem is nobody takes the YSU job with the idea of retiring there unless they are in their 50's ..and most in their 50's are rebounding from being fired or moving up a division to try their hand at D1...the real bottom line is 2 Sunni g season (barely) in 12 years isnt very good...infact not even mediocre....we need a coach that uses this job as a stepping stone to bigger jobs...thete isn't a thing wrong with that...this university can win with that formula because it has worked at countless places across the country
