Topic: In our 5 straight losses

[herdorbust2]

We have scored 67,66,58,58,58. That is pathetic!!! You would think Danny would recognize that slow long players is the difference. His best years he had Jon and Andy along with Burkes. And even now our best player is Voyles. But he insists on as many slow bigs as he can get. He has no clue what to recruit for his system. It's bad enough that he never coaches during games but now he doesn't have the guards either. And for the person that said he was thanking boosters etc and thinking it might be a sign he was leaving. I say he is trying to suck up to them to make sure he stays.

I have seen a lot of Marshall hoops and this is the worst shooting team I have ever seen.

[coalherd]

Among his postgame remarks he praised Corny, saying he did a great job of "preparing" the team (for this game).  Could this be the beginning of Danny's campaign to "grease the skids" for Corny as the next HC, and thus keep his own hands, philosophy, etc., in the program?

[MicDrass1]

Clean house.  If new HC wants to retain any assistants it?s his choice.

[The Right Stuff]

If Corny is the next coach just stick a fork in the Bison because the program will be toast.

MU 71

None of these coaches could even be considered as a candidate for the next HC. The only one I would retain is Caldwell so we can keep Kim.

[GreenWhite]

I do not want to see another alumni coaching this team. We need an experienced coach that has connections. My biggest concern is if we get rid of the whole staff, will coach Caldwell start looking elsewhere.

When/if there is a new coach, I'm willing to bet one of the condition's is that he stays on staff (or they just pay him X amount to do nothing, another position in the athletic department, etc.)

[Ovaltine Jenkins]

I say hire Coach K. And I'm not talking about the retired Duke Coach.

[MicDrass1]

I thought this would be about avg ppg.  58-64ppg on season but give up 75ppg.  Figured Voyles would be our best player bc he was a MEAC guard which is an athletic, physical guard league.  We need (4) Voyles

She's got 6 yrs left on her deal. That'd be a mighty big buyout for a WBB coach, considering it's not a revenue sport at most universities. Besides, there are other reasons for her to stay here. She's from here (Pksbg), I believe her mom still lives here (& she's a widow), her husband is from here (mullens). I definitely wouldn't "force" Justin onto a new staff if the next HC didn't think he'd be a good fit. I mean, Justin took a spot on a staff led by the oldest coach in the country...how long was he expecting this gig to last, anyway?  DD will be 83 when Kim's contract expires.

We are 1-6 out of our last 7 games. Hey, all that matters is what happens in the SBC tournament, SURE.

Not only do I doubt many Herd fans are expecting great results for the men's team in the tournament, I'd bet Dan isn't either. 

[GreenWhite]

One and done is what I expect in Florida. This team is done.

[herdorbust2]

The hottest team in the league right now may be Arkansas St. and they have the type of team that would give us fits. Guards and more guards!!! We don't want to play JMU and App if possible. ODU has quick guards and has our number even though they are awful. Troy would be tough for us also. We may win one game with the right draw and then done imo.

[herd2win]

We have shot so incredibly bad that we may get hot in the tournament.  Odds are we can't shoot this bad forever.

Oh yeah, Arkansas State has Taryn Todd who is one of their leaders at guard.
But we passed on him during the summer when he visited with Voyles to keep Braun and try to make a PG out of Conner and Curfman.

Just think on the two misses from Danny if he would have brought in both Todd and Meyer.
Talk about our guard play not being in the crapper. But Dan would rather just blame he was depending on Andy to come back than to actually try.

And blame the players, the fans, etc.

He also stated something like: I'll know when to leave.

Which will be when the lock has been changed on his office door and his possessions are in boxes stacked in the hall.

[banker]

I just remember Dan hating the move to the SBC because it was such a weak league.

"stacked in the hall" Hell!!  Danny D. is too old, too arrogant, too self-absorbed, and too damn stubborn to get the message even if he found his "possessions", stuff, etc., unceremoniously strewn in the nearest dumpster outside the CAM!!

[Garbanjo]

Yep

Worst part is we can dominate the Sun Belt with a good coach

Please retire DD
