So no one can answer why he recently started following Dan Hurley and Andy Toole.

Because it's an interesting time to follow them. Very common this time of year.

This hobbit has established a clear m.o. when it comes to following and unfollowing players and coaches. To give him the benefit of the doubt about following Hurley is to ignore years of his passive aggressive bulsh*t. If they want the architect of three straight losing seasons (which they don't) who can't coach his way out of a paper bag, they can have him.

No one wants these band of misfits, we call a staff except for Matty A, folks.  Sorry to break the news to everyone who thinks Mullin is going to turn this ship around-  He isn't.  If SJU had a competent staff, who could develop players and coach them up, SJU would of won more than 16 games last year.  Its not the talent that is coming in that is the problem, its the talent leaving and the lack of coaching.

 We have one recruiter who is trying to make up for all the kids Mullin loses YOY.  Folks around the country see this, and if Matty A wants out, he will have a new job quicker than anyone wants to believe.

All the more reason we shouldn’t make him irreplaceable by only having one recruiter on staff.  We put ourselves in a ridiculous position of weakness here, relying on one guy.  Most staff’s have 2-3 guys hitting the pavement hard for recruits and landing them.  Matt does that.  He’s an asset for sure, but we have no contingency if he did leave and we pretty much have to pay him what he asks for now because we painted ourselves in a corner.  We have by far the dumbest athletic department in history.  SJU doesn’t know how to put any of this together.. they never have.

It took UConn about 5 seconds to make an amazing hire.  Smart athletic departments that do the proper hiring and don’t allow the coaches to make all the decisions to hire cronies.

I feel like we've been saying this on here ad nauseum and it never gets any less true. It's also comical how when guys leave like TO or Matt possibly that it's always how SJU is fine without them which is not true. Make or break time for Mullin and staff. He needs to pull a serious rabbit out of his hat to turn this thing around next year. Longshot.

Couldn't agree more!

Let me ask the group this.  Has anyone ever seen or heard of a coach, who is in his first job and only been doing it for 3 years, be less involved in the recruiting process?  Please do not tell me about a guy who coached in the 40's 50's and 60's as an example. Bill Self,  Coach Cal, Coach K, Jay Wright to name a few, all started out in small programs, smaller than SJU and they worked their tales off on the recruiting trails, ultimately getting to a place where now they can rely more on their staff, yet they still dictate who comes.

No one is irreplaceable except for a select few in the college world.  However, right now in our case, Matty A is close as it gets.

Why is it comical for us to be better off without Greg Jefferies and his dad if he wants ten shots a game? You can't have your program held hostage by kids of his caliber. In a perfect scenario he would come back with 20 lbs of muscle and play a 5th or sixth man energy role. We'd all sign up for that. It's getting a little old that we can't keep guys four years, but that's what happens when you completely change staffs every 4-6 years.

buck stops with mullin.  can't blame the assistant for only recruiting half a team, when the head coach should have someone on the staff to recruit the other half.  it doesn't make sense to essentially have one person doing all of the recruiting.  but that's mullin's choice. if they don't comfortably make the ncaas in 2019, the administration has to make a change.

So you would acquiesce to their demands and let a horrible offensive player take 10 shots a game? F*ck that. When you hire a new staff and have no returning players you have to get kids that commit to you for playing time above all else.  These are consequences of changing staffs so frequently.

Of course we never learn and many want Mullin fired too. Blood thirsty fans we have.

Whats Mullin's ceiling as a HC?  Maybe 1 tourney in 6 years?  Sure as hell isn't a sweet 16 or a big east championship.  You think Mullin can compete on a coaching level with the teams in the NCAA tourney?  Only 1 team made it past the first weekend this year out of the Big East,  only 3 or 4x  has the league done it since the new big east assembled.  He's not even on the same level as Providence.  1-5 in tourney in last 5 years. 

So yes, Mullin should be fired if he does not get in the tourney this year, and yes us fans should be calling for it.  2 million goes a long way in CBB, its about time the school puts it to good use.

If he's not better then they're tied. SJU undoubtedly made a mistake choosing Mullin over Lavin, and an even bigger mistake choosing Mullin over Hurley. Just sucks now we have to wait for inevitable disappointment, and despair before Mullin either steps down or is fired. I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt after the Nova and Duke wins, but the fact that he's not out busting his ass recruiting just shows me he's not only too incompetent but too arrogant as well.
