No it wasn't. They are giving him Nil to function, where we would not right now. Plus the academic handicap. Different situations. Can't compare an orange to an apple.
Nothing we as fans can do about it.... It'd be nice if they would've polled us on here and made their decision based on our buy-in and approval!
Agree, would've much rather had a young and hungry former alum to help us build than old retread who is a monty clone apparently with the play calling.
This is absurd take. first, the school has people that hire staff(that’s their job, they don’t need your approval for anything) second let’s take this into your life… you want alot of random message board people deciding if you get a raise, or you get a job that they have no clue or understanding on what you do??? If you are that upset about this don’t donate to the school.
Also not saying you’re wrong on Kinne he may have been a home run hire but your thoughts on how hiring staff should go down are insane.
I was being facetious, but I'm glad you got that out of your system. I figured the absurdity of the premise would've made that clear, but you took it literally.
I would venture to say that there was no doubt Kevin Wilson was going to get kids to class and that they were going to make measurable academic progress under his leadership as an older more rigid coach. Where Monty left the program academically was GD embarrassing. Our APR (I believe that's correct) was in the 10-20th percentile rank within the sport and within the 1-10th percentile rank in all sports, well below all of those schools we look down our nose at.
We seem to have run off some of the usuals suspects. I’m not mentioning any names though.
If memory serves me, he interviewed. As far as I remember he had Marion with him in the interview, but that might not be right. Once again you cannot insert coach and expect the same results. GJ would not have recruited the same here. He wouldn't have been able to bring as many jucos, the student part of athlete would have been an issue with some of his recruits, and he wouldn't have had nil.(as far as I know, he does at Texas St) He might have found success here, but it might have also come more gradually. Also, it could not have come at all. It's easy to dump on the administration as an armchair QB, when you ignore these kinds of factors.
Instead we go with someone with tons of experience. So much experience, in fact, that he has proven that he can't get the job done already at one school. (Retread)
