Chris Mullen resigns @ St John's
- Thread starter lawcalcock
- Start date
Actually Bobby Hurley is at the top of the list. Nice try though.
Should that happen, and we don’t put the full-court press on Donovan, I will be disappointed. Also like Chris Beard and Hurley.
Good call. They want Hurley. Can they get him? Who knows. Pitino is also doing some campaigning to get in the mix. But do they date touch him even though he would be perfect in New York? Figure they have a few names to go through before they get to Frank.
If I were the fan of any Division One school looking for a coach, I'd swallow hard at the prospect of hiring a man with 33 wins over the most recent two years and no postseason appearances over that time.
Anyone who would like to earn $3 million annually with minimal accountability.
We are not getting Billy D. Why would he take the job he advised his friend, Anthony Grant, not to take?
I’m just telling you his return to college ball was being discussed this week on the radio, and we could pay him as much as the schools that were being batted around.
I swear I think somehow Frank Martin is a congressman! He is never accountable for anything! It's always the fault of someone or something else! This "false narrative" as you refer to it, needs to be dismissed !
It's Mullin btw, and Hurley, Mark Jackson, Rick Pitino, and Thad Matta have been mentioned as candidates, not Frank Martin, we should pray Frank does not leave.
Lawd hayah muhcy another spell checker! Give him milk and cookies!
Curious, can you name another high major school that has kept a coach who only made the NCAAs 1 time in 7 years?
Edit= by high major I mean Power 5 plus Big East and AAC.
Interestingly, Brad Brownell at Clemson made the NCAA Tournament in 2010, but has only been back once since then, so technically he's only made 1 in 8 years. Brownell's only visit culminated in the Sweet 16, while Frank's was a Final Four.
So, for all the RT bashers, it's interesting to note how much people love touting Clemson's Athletic Department and their commitment to winning, but don't realize the patience they've shown to Brownell.
It does take time to change a culture, especially with the dumpster fire that Darrin Horn left this program in. We finally have the young pieces in place to be really good next season and beyond, so I will withhold judgment until after that time.
He should be winning more games. There is no doubt that the past 2 seasons have been poor. But he is also right to complain that the program is not promoted and supported enough. Not just for the post season, but in general - to raise it's visibility. I also wish the University would address the issue of local recruiting and perhaps try and mend fences with people like Rev. Jackson and his son - and anyone else who might be actively steering these kids away from SC. They did Juwan Gary no favors by getting him to Alabama.
Right now, 2 of 3 men's sports are in a down cycle. While the football went to a bowl game they still took a couple of steps back this past season from the year before. I am hopeful next year will be better, but if it isn't where does the blame lie?
I kind of get what you are getting at, however he has been 2 times in 9 years. He also snuck in 3 NITs, not that the NIT really means much.
I have a real bad feeling that we're going to have a thread like this every time there's a new opening in MBB.
I think you directed that question at the wrong poster! I would fire Frank today if I could! I would have fired over the Christmas holidays!
The only reason the Clemons have yet to fire Brownell is Dabo asked them not to. That's a fact known among tater boosters. Had Dabo not spoken up for him, they planned to can his ass the year before he made the NCAA tournament!
I just recently joined here because the other sites I had been using are either down (PSR) or have very little participation except by sunshine pumpers. But in the past I have been very critical of Frank Martin. Not as a coach, but as a recruiter. I'm certain that given a team with talent Frank could make it to the NCAA's every year and probably win it all at least once. (In fact, had Thornwell not gotten sick the night before I think we would have beaten Gonzaga in 2017.) But part of coaching is recruiting. That is where he has had trouble - recruiting and then retention. His evaluations have missed several times and the attrition on the team is hurting the program.
I am not a fan of Ray Tanner. He's a duck out of water and while he has done a decent job with facilities (most of those were planned before he became AD) I just don't have much faith in him as the head of the Athletic Dept. I think he dropped the ball with Spurrier because he was afraid of replacing him. I think he dropped the ball with the baseball program. (he should still be the coach)
If the football and men's basketball programs continue to suffer over the next 2 years I predict he won't be the one making any coaching changes.

I just hope Tanner does not panic and match other supposed offers or even worse just bump Martins contract bidding against air.
If Coach Martin goes, he goes
If Coach Martin stays, he stays.
It's not going to change Carolina Basketball that much either way.... in my opinion.
If he gets another offer and acts interested, thank him and we can all move on.
Fresh air for everyone might be nice.

Yeah my bad, meant to quote bleedgarnet33 and his we should pray Martin doesn't leave comment.
Frank Martin is NOT at the top of their list or anyone else's list.
Agreed.
1. They don't care about basketball and sink their money into football.
2. He beats us like a rented mule. That helps.
That's my thought, too. With a new president coming in this summer, Tanner has a year grace period. Afterwards, he's the one the new president will replace.
That's not going to happen even if the new president is focused on athletics,which he probably won't be.
There are a lot of errors in your post. Tanner was not going to coach baseball after 2013 regardless. Pastides did not want Spurrier to leave and fought to keep him here. Tanner had nothing to do with it.
