Thereās your opening Ron. Go back home.
PLEASEā¦weāll all help you pack!!!
Some of us are mildly intelligent lol. In all seriousness though your basketball issues are a mirror image of where our football program was. The frustrating part is when the fans care more than the administration, and that happened under Compher. He doubled down and refused to admit he made a horrible judgment call just so he could get āhis guyā in and hopefully snag a P5 job down the line. While Schwartz is only going into year two, itās clear the administration does care on our end and that theyāre trying. We fired Dooley a year early on his contract, took a serious look at how we could structure NIL for basketball players and really upped the production value on trying to market the program.
The issue I see with Hill is heās hiding behind excuses at the moment and trying to pretend basketball is in a good spot when your entire fanbase can clearly see it isnāt anywhere near where you want it to be. Part of that is his job, and he canāt flat out say itās headed in the wrong direction but it doesnāt look like heās making any serious moves to fix it. After five years of Sanchez I think everyone including Hill knows itās a lame duck sixth season most likely. Now he very well may be hamstrung with the budget and I donāt know how much you would owe Sanchez had you fired him. However, generally speaking the payment streams can be extended and if he finds another job youād probably be in decent shape to hire a new coach. We didnāt owe Dooley a dime because he went back to Kansas. We never had to pay out Scottieās buyout either because Maryland was dumb enough to hire him as their offensive coordinator for three years.
clt says we have eCu fans making sense on our chat page
I could see Sanchez still taking another job, even a step down. If he doesnāt bring in high quality to replace Brice and Aly, next could get ugly. As of now Sanchez has a resume that doesnāt look that bad on the surface. The possibility of getting dumped at the end of next season would certainly torpedo a second chance.
Are you saying he could voluntarily leave before next season or after?
He could - if the writing is on the wall a negotiated buyout is possible. Helps him save face. If he is going to just go back to UVA or something though it is doubtful he would negotiate anything.
Not happening, he is guaranteed to get paid by us so why leave? His only viable would be a small northeastern school that pays less than we do.
Major is a good example of a negotiated departure under the cover of āhealthā.
Majors health was shit and everyone knew it. He looked horrible on the sidelines. Ron thinks everything is great and so does his boss. Itās a literal fantasy to suggest Ron would step down as part of any agreement and walk away from his $600k or whatever heās going to get next year plus whatever he would get after being fired.
0% chance. Zero. Let me say it againā¦ Zero.
$750k next season
I agree thereās 0% chance.
But if he was smart heād strongly consider it. He has to know itās not a good look to lose your top 3 players in back to back years. He also has to see that heās having trouble recruiting now. Moving up in conference after losing your top 2 players and not having much in the cupboard to replace them withā¦heās staring at an embarrassing record next year.
If itās so bad he gets firedā¦his job prospects & reputation drop pretty substantially. To the general public heās coasting on a CBI title for anyone that is fooled with thatā¦but he could certainly parlay that into a better career path than coming off of what heās facing next year.
Nice to think about it though !
Iāll give 10:1 odds to anyone who wants it that he wonāt step down.
Clearly, this guy did a LOT of research. 
Iām glad he has put us in place to contend in CUSA in the future.
Yeah never mind the player departures and failures in the conference tournament.
Nothing to see there!!!
I think that was before last season. So Sanchez must have made the top 100 after the last season, right Ted?
