Coach L

[Consigliere]

Yeah, I get it. Coach L has some big wins, won an ACC title...but there are some real head-scratchers in there, too. Losing by 28 to Eastern Kentucky? At home? Losing to Providence and Green Bay at home? Regardless, there's no question that the hoops team is in much better shape. Coach L was a good find (who gets credit for that by the way?).

Can you have an off night? This is basketball, it is more than one game. Providence was on the road (neutral site) BTW. Green Bay is 14-3, maybe this year's FGCU. EKU was bad and an off night.

Golden has an off career so one night is understandable, right?

Coach L just won by 16 at Duke. Were you aware they had a 41 home game winning streak. They're a top 5 team too.

Coach L achieved more in one year than our football program did since we joined the ACC.

Who gets the credit? Coach L and his agent. They were willing to explain to our admin what he accomplished.

I'm not diminishing the accomplishments. Coach L has shown that he can win big games with less talent (novel concept). But that makes the "off" nights more puzzling. ProjectMK gave a good explanation above. The differences are smaller team-to-team.

Golden and his agent did the same, no? (willing to explain accomplishments). The point is that hiring coaches is hit or miss when you aren't playing on the same field as the big boys (by choice in our case; I think we can afford to, we just don't). Shalala takes the well-deserved hits for Golden and Shannon, but she has to get some credit for Larranaga, too.

Actually you are dismissing his accomplishments by claiming there is something funny about an off night.

No, our admin never heard of the guy period. Our inept Admin said who are you instead of being ready to receive.

Our problems are self-inflicted and really not problems at all. Forget hiring, how about extending? How about the amazing levels of apathy toward the department? How about the lack of accountability? How about hiring a real AD and allowing them to run the department. Congrats Shalala, a broken clock is right twice a day but in her case once (coach L).

Providence game was in Brooklyn and they are a tourney team. Green Bay is good too. Eastern Kentucky is the only bad loss.

But great job being negative.

Sorry, I thought negativity was required around here.

When earned.

No, I'm not dismissing anything. I said "puzzling", not "funny".

I have no clue what the **** you're babbling about. Admin never heard of who?

Agree here. Extending is usually a bad idea before results. I wouldn't say the admin is apathetic about the department. Clueless, bad decisions, not accountable...yeah, but they aren't apathetic.

Lulz. That's stupid.

Larranaga had to send in his resume for them to consider him. I'm not giving Shalala credit for ****.

She still had to hire him, which was obviously a good move. They hired a search firm when AG got hired. Did they do that for hoops? Did the search firm find AG, or did he find them? Not that it really matters. They hit on the hoops coach and missed on the last few football coaches, and nothing really changes that (barring a massive, unlikely turnaround in football).

Our ADMIN never heard of Coach L. I don't give them much credit for signing him. Any credit would be outweighed by the 10000 bad decisions.

Apathetic or Apathy: lack of interest, enthusiasm, or concern.

I would say our Admin doesn't seem to concerned about the status of the program. As you state, they also are dumb and lack any accountability as well.

Don't have to prove anything. The results speak for themselves. Football blows. Basketball over-achieving. One **** coach. One good coach.

Coach L has more wins up at Duke than Al has.

Put that on a shirt. I'm sure that supports the basketball team
