[quote=âCard49, post:28, topic:28619â][quote=âcasstommy, post:22, topic:28619â]what a stupid thread. Surprising i know.
Look, major needs to go. Heâs done here and its time to move on. But its silly things like this thread that make his detractors look petty and dumb. And its been their modus operandi since day one.
Criticizing a coach for using coach speak and cliches smacks of a willful detachment from the world of sports. I heard Calipari on ESPN last week during all the snow and it sounded like someone gave him a âCoach Speak for Dummiesâ book for Christmas. They. All. Do. It.[/quote]

For NewNinerâs post above on strength of schedule, I believe Tom commented on the out of conference schedule which is all a coach and administration can control. That schedule was ranked 229 and the 49ers were 12-0 against teams with 150 or worse. That would equate to Seth Greenburg like work.
If that is what you base success on, have at it. And, I donât direct that to you. But, it got him an extension.

9-0 vs non conference at 150+. In 2009-10 we were also 9-0 vs 150+ in non conference. Major was 12-0 overall as you stated. Lutz was 14-1 overall vs 150+ in 2009-10
The more I hear and watch our coach,the less I believe he should be our coach,or in fact the coach of any decent D-1 program.Listing some of the things that really chap me wonât make a hill of beans difference,but itâll allow me to vent.so humor meâŚor just go to next post,wonât hurt my feelings.
1)I donât expect him to say"hey iâm doing a really shitty job,I should be fired",but jeez,this team gets worse and worseâŚACCEPT SOME RESPONSIBILITY.
2)One of his âhallmarksâ when he took over was âwe are going to recruit and play tough man defenseâŚall the timeââŚREALLY?
3)Itâs clear to me one of his prime strategies for his success here has been to set up as soft an OOC schedule as he could and try to pile up wins.Even that hasnât worked,plus games at Halton that the average fan might be enticed to go to are almost nonexistent.
4)Is it just my imagination or do teams make adjustments against us regularly,as opposed to us seeming to do nothing.
Over his 4 years Iâve heard endlessly about how good the conferences we are playing in are.ReallyâŚwe used to be competitive in a conference with Cinci,Louisville,MemphisâŚand no,I donât think Bobby was a great coach or should have been retained.Weâre now a crap team in a shitty conferenceâŚWHAT EXACTLY ARE WE BUILDING?
I could list 1,000 more but whatâs the use?..Heâs a TERRIBLE face of the program and a lousy coach.Iâd like to cut Judy a lot more slack,but sheâs the one who gave a ridiculous extension to Bobby,hired Major and also gave him one tooâŚ
My conclusionâŚweâre in deep dung.Onky way I can express that opinion and know it gets through to the hierarchy is to vote,as some already have,not to renew my season tix next year with this coach.
Agree⌠We should not be discussing Lutz. It looks like Gamer first mentioned his name. This is how it happened this time.
It started with:
nobody on here is defending major anymore but you need to stop with the took over a 19 win team. that team was mediocre and was run by a troublemaker in spears. the team had to be dismantled. i am not critical of major in terms of recruiting and the talent he assembles, i just do not think he is the coach to help them play to their capabilties but you need to stop with the 19 win team argument.[/quote]
I replied to Ninerfan55 and then Gamer mentioned Lutz, as follows:
55 has a good point. The 19 win team lost virtually every game in Feb and Mar. You can pick and choose your comparisons, but bear in mind that Lutz was in his 11th season as head coach here as opposed to to Majorâs 1st season as head coach. Lets compare Lutz last 8 games to Majors first 8 games. Major tripled Lutzâ wins during that stretch. Or, maybe we should consider most recent years here. Mayor won 21 games with a A10 tournament win. How does that compare to Lutzâ 19 win and no wins in the conf. tourney? I suppose the thinking is that Lutz would have done so much betterâŚ[/quote]

49r9r, I apologize for any distress the mention of Lutz may have caused you or anyone else. However, I must inform you that I was not the first poster to mention him in this thread. Please do not hold a grudge toward the below mentioned.
Oh and heâs thought about starting Lester but doesnât want to disrupt the hell of a season weâre having against such elite teams like utsa, Marshall, and rice

At least, J. Rose now admits in public that things arenât going well. Maybe thatâs a sign that a change is
closer than we thought.
Or taking coaching advice from us message board poster asses. He doesnât know the seeds of discontent weâre capable of sowing or grassroots movements we can start and see to success. WE GOT FOOTBALL!!! :))

Iâm leaning toward he hasnât started enough for AM to know if his presence on the floor would effect the out come of the game. Iâm just saying give the kid a chance to start, itâs not going to hurt this season more than what has already been done.

Nor did I ask you toâŚthatâs what the should Lester start thread is for. My point is AM could be making adjustment but heâs not or when he does they do absolutely no good. Then when he goes on air to talk about the game he always praises how great that team was and how we only lost by a bucket⌠But in reality with the talent we have it should be a ten point wins. Thank god, Judy finally addressed this season and said the team lost focus.
I really donât understand why anyone cares so much about this. Lester starting changes nothing about whether we win or lose the games. I want to focus on that.
