Breaking news.

BWCD is a genius.

He's saying mind-blowing things that nobody has ever said before.

And you seem absolutely fine with this, apparently. There's nothing we need to critically look at as a program, nothing to do differently, stay the course. Let's stay the same, no need to change anything. And if we miss the postseason again next season, or the season after that, you'll be back here saying the same crap and pointing to 2015-2016.

Simply having a young/talented roster doesn't mean we're going to do anything with it. There are other variables to take into consideration - development for one, culture/mentality for another...and yes, possible changes to help us get back to where we should be. The program doesn't exist in a vacuum.

And again - no amount of quote parsing/condescension is going to make what you want to be so, so.

What about the last two years?

“Oh, you’re talking about a different head coach”

LOVE IT.

Another strawman.

We have guys asking to change things in a year where we turned over the roster and will have two new coaches (including the head coach)

Yes, the staff gets attacked for bad recruiting. The recruiting coordinator gets attacked for bad recruiting. Not that hard to understand.

But you conveniently glossed over the last part, think tank.

When the recruiting is good, it doesn't matter!

That perfectly encapsulates the position of the perennial whiners.

But it does mean that reasonable expectations of performance can be applied.

Gino won't have a honeymoon with me on this point. In 1-2 years (by the time this group of players are juniors) it should be obvious that it has turned around.

Cut it with the strawman excuses. You're erecting the skeleton of them, we're simply calling them out before you stuff the straw into the shirt, and then when we do - you react with righteous indignation and holier-than-thou piety.

Now I remember why I blocked you before. Bye, Felicia.

I suspected that you demand perfection, all the time, from this staff but this proves it.

Programs go through situations like this sometimes. We had the same thing happen in 2000. We only signed 5 players that year but we hit on almost all of them (that was the Bengochea, Mannix, Matienzo class).

Guess what?

It still contributed to the 2002 team almost missing the tournament.

These are 30 human beings that get hurt, transfer, go back home, have issues, etc.

The fact that we were nearly perfect for so long should be a credit to the program. Not a weapon used to bash it later on when your feelings get hurt over two bad seasons.

No, you're just lying because you don't know anything.
 
Now we’re back to “just two bad seasons” and now it was just because of bad luck.

Ironically, the bad luck just happens to be at the tail end of the decade that saw two blown home regionals and a single, solitary win in Omaha. But no one saw that coming. Bad luck. No decline. No change necessary. Keep doin’ what you’re doin’, Gino.
