This is silly . I am done arguing. Either he quits and we start over. Or he comes back and we lose again. Nothing to debate.
No. Why be such an absolutist? Why can you just acknowledge this season is toast, relax about it... it's like crying over split milk at this point.... just evaluate the coaching when he's had a full season or two. I would argue for next two seasons.
I get it, one could argue the team should have had more depth this year...but guess what it didn't. We all deal with disappointment, or not meeting expectations at work, or in life, etc....so it didn't happen this year. big deal. Just see what happens with a full roster the next two season.
It's all about the next two years with a full roster.
Do you not acknowledge the team would have performed better, if the coaches had more players? I think it would be preposterous to argue that the performance wouldn't have been better.
Maybe Mullin stinks. I don't know. None of us know - because the team so short handed.
We just have sing that same old song.. wait until next year.
What if he stinks because he’s short handed? The person who left him short handed is responsible. I hope we figure out who did that to Mullin, but we may need help in solving the mystery.
Sunk cost. Canning him for the bad roster this year is cutting off your nose to spite your face.
You have a full roster on the horizon.
Canning him would guarantee an empty roster next year.
Keeping him gives you a full, or at least we hope, a full balanced roster next year.
Do you not acknowledge that?
The full roster thing is a bit overplayed. You are assuming no roster attrition next year an we know that is not likely.
Furthermore a lot of the roster issues are due to how they recruited in addition to the transfers. Meaning the current staff is responsible for these holes. You can't then use it as an excuse for why they are struggling.
But again all I hear is year 4 is the breakthrough, fine. I sure hope so.
I don't think the full roster thing is overplayed. For certain, you are correct in assuming there is always roster turnover / attrition.
That being said, we have what, like 13 scholarship commitments for next season? Even assuming not every expected player shows up next year, it should be fairly full and balanced roster.
If it's not a relatively full and balanced roster, then I'll be really pissed off, and all the people who want to move on from Mullin would obviously have a much stronger argument - and I would have almost no leg to stand on... i fully acknowledge that.
I also understand the argument that that staff should held accountable for this season's short-handed team. I just choose not penalize them as severely as some others do on this website. They got a bad break, almost literally, with LoVett's knee..and the Wilson thing seems a bit unexpected...otherwise, why would the team even sign him up if he thought he might bolt?
I don't think you and I, and most others on this site, are all the different on the evaluation of the team...none of us are blind; we see the product on the floor. It's terrible. We are all just moderately different on where we are in terms of patience, and trying to not become fully exasperated to the point of rooting for firing the staff.
I will say it again though... my argument is not purely about giving patience, for patience's sake. It's about getting the best 'bang for your buck'...we need to try and maximize the potential upsides... Waiting it out a year or two, with hopefully a full and balanced roster seems like the best expected return bet to me.
If it doesn't work, then we can him, destroy the roster and we return, yet again, to a re-restart mode that some are arguing for right now. I just disagree with math that people are doing in head for arguing for canning him right now.
