Delaware St

Hw this team shot so many three's with such a size advantage shows the lack of coaching on this team. Pathetic

We had Danny Hurley waiting to accept the position

For the life of me I just don't understand how Mullin didn't think to hire an X/O coach... Instead we have Mitch Richmond.. Asinine and a decision that will have hurt us for a few years.   

too much to ask to come back, down 15 which we created.  I too now and questioning Mullin.  Yes they are young, but this is inexcusable.  Hope he proves me wrong over his time here, but I am sick of this band aid approach to coaching.  Its too late now, but this program really needs a new identity.  Enough with the 1980s hero BS.

Personally, I think he eff'ed up when he didn't go out and get a veteran college coach, as an assistant.

Bingo

How could any decent recruit want to come here?

Was Lavin's downfall too.

 At least Lavin attempted with Dunlop and he did bring in Keady.. I realize Keady's coaching days were way behind him at that point , but he probably forgot more about coaching  then the current staff knows, cumulatively

Thank God they railroaded Slice out of here to bring in Richmond.

Paying  dividends.

Had a work conflict and couldn't watch this game.  Based on the score, God am I glad.  Absolutely inexcusable loss.  This board won't be fun for a few days, and that is completely understandable.  Staff needs to get this s*** together now.  I could deal with last year.  Hell I could deal with playing competitive games in the Bahamas even though we shouldn't be freaking losing to ODU.  But Delaware St at home.  Jesus.

Slice was a recruiter not a coach... He didn't deliver... Not crying in my soup over him...

I know I'm older and will occasionally forget some things, but I can't recall a St. John's defense look this horrid.  On top of being horrid, the coaching staff won't attempt to stop the bleeding by adjusting the defense.

But replacing him with Richmond was a joke, agree there

Of course. But youre happy to see what Richmond is bringing to the table?

Sorry brother. Posted the same time you did

I love Slice but he wasn't fixing the lack of in-game coaching and developmental stuff and we lost plenty of games against inferior teams last year with Slice on the bench.  I hate jumping to conclusions but I don't see how anyone at this point can justify not having a veteran X's and O's guy on the sideline to help the learning curve.

All I can hope is that if this is killing me, it must be killing a guy like Mullin who has to walk around his home town for the next few days with this disaster looming and everyone pointing the blame at him.  Coach has been successful at everything he's done in life and I hope and pray that he can find a way to make this work.  If this keeps up, I don't see how it doesn't really really hurt recruiting for 2018.

At this point the staff needs all the coaching help they can get...

Stick to the basics.

Had a work conflict and couldn't watch this game.  Based on the score, God am I glad.  Absolutely inexcusable loss.  This board won't be fun for a few days, and that is completely understandable.  Staff needs to get this s*** together now.  I could deal with last year.  Hell I could deal with playing competitive games in the Bahamas even though we shouldn't be freaking losing to ODU.  But Delaware St at home.  Jesus.

I guess I'll go back to what I did a season ago....  Watch the games when I could or didn't have anything else to do (even then I was often changing the channel).

"It must be killing a guy like mullin" doubt it . If he would have prepared like the guy making a fraction of his salary he would have won. And won big! Yet another disgraceful performance. I am sure we will here plenty of excuses from the mullin apologists.
