I wish the players hated him or quit on him, but they didnt quit on him they are not leaving the program and I understand the players genuinly like him. He just cant coach well enough to compete with the top or middle acc team. He does beat the cupcakes, which cannot be said about Christian. I dont think his demeanor on the sideline would be a big deal if he was 9 and 3 every year. BC is not going to eat both contracts. Christian is the one that is hopeless and cant go soon enough. Transfers, losses to cupcakes no hope. I have not heard of the team caring one way or another about him (the players genuinly liked Donahue). But I have seen quit in them. Yet O still see these posters that keep talking with optimism about basket. Oh if we get 2 bigs and a quality point guard we can compete. Who is going to come here? And I have mentioned it before, Robinson will not finish here. After taking his summer courses he will be on track to graduate next year. I have heard from a very knowledgeable source that it could be as early as December. canttakeithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07647406106179370043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-46799614990470587662017-04-21T17:18:54.916-04:002017-04-21T17:18:54.916-04:00Go back and do the research of the Wake game from ...Go back and do the research of the Wake game from two years ago.

Leahy will make the call on Dazzler not Jarmond.<br /><br />I soured on Dazzler based on the goal line failure and his meltdown two years ago against Wake Forest. I have defended a couple of his controversial game decisions since because they were rational decisions. He lost my unfettered support based on that Wake F game. I am not going to destroy him for the sake of it though. knuckleheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04805180161124683145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-16147022529083938402017-04-21T15:20:44.801-04:002017-04-21T15:20:44.801-04:00Not a fool.

You can see through the spiritual themes he uses why Leahy likes him.<br /><br />It is a soap opera. Hire someone who can coach. It isn't difficult. Everyone in the industry knows who can coach, who cannot, who is on the rise, who cheats and who bends the rules etc.<br /><br />Leahy needs to like the people, on a personal level, that he hires. Understandable but not sustainable in business. It should be obvious at this point.<br /><br />knuckleheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04805180161124683145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-83852629015453994952017-04-21T15:08:21.815-04:002017-04-21T15:08:21.815-04:00All hail fuc...

I have no idea which side you are taking on this.<br /><br />I am interested in watching the team tomorrow, see how legit this up tempo system is, see how Wade/Brown look and if there is anything else that sticks out.<br /><br />As for the Daz he has a hard road in front of him next year. ACC Atlantic is a buzz saw and they have tougher Non Conference games then in the past. I hope they win 7/8 games but won't be easy.<br /><br />If the team has a down year I would be surprised if Daz gets another year. Maybe he will, only time will tell.<br /><br />Not only have we started a narrative that Urban Meyer is now running our athletic department but we have gone one step further and are now stating a narrative that BC had been grooming Daz for years before he was hired? Mind blown, It seems like 'Fake News' is spreading to ATL's message board.Shabby1011https://www.blogger.com/profile/09542073601477462357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-16561238553227794412017-04-21T15:00:19.651-04:002017-04-21T15:00:19.651-04:00You are fool if you listen to Daz pregame speeches...You are fool if you listen to Daz pregame speeches.<br /><br />Bucknell would say there are 2 billion Chinese that don't give a shit about this game.

They have liked him for a long time. Watch his pregame speeches. They are legit and have serious spiritual undertones. Leahy loves him and made "Batesy" hire him. <br /><br />"Batesy" extended Christian(who is below the threshold for being a horrible coach) but did not extend Dazzler(who went to two bowl games?). Hmmm. Sounds like someone else is controlling the situation . . . Leahy.<br /><br />He isn't giving up that control to Jarmond.<br /><br />I don't think this type of situation is exclusive to BC.

Who do you guys want BC to hire??<br /><br />Give me one realistic name? Ed McGlaughlin, Boo Corrigan?? Would those names excite you? You guys are the same turds who say BC turned down Jay Wright. Have no idea what you are talking about.<br /><br />Jarmond is coming from the best athletic department in the country. The best. If BC hires the OC from Clemson, Bama or OSU as the next football coach would you be excited?? Or is it Belichick or bust for you guys on the next football coach. BC just hired the OC from Bama as its next AD, to me that is exciting.<br /><br />Gene Smith is considered the best AD in the country. Jarmond has been credited with OSU football scheduling (they have upcoming non conf games against Oklahoma, Oregon, ND & Texas to name few), Fundraising to Athletics (over $120M) and having Creative Marketing/Operational Ideas to improve fan experience (Beer). He has only worked at the highest level of college athletics. He is going to walk around the halls at Conte and laugh. He is going to hold a staff meeting with a bunch of old farts and laugh. Now if he has the power and autonomy to clean house and start anew only time will tell. But I can't see him sitting on his hands.<br /><br />He is the youngest AD in the country. He is a former Division 1 athlete. He has only worked in great athletic departments. Who cares that they are in the Big10 or State schools? So you wanted Jim Paquette because he worked at a Jesuit school and would understand BC better? What a joke.<br /><br />Bates was a horrific hire and typical BC underwhelming status quo AD. He was a low administrator at a shitty athletic school Vanderbilt and spent a few uninspiring years at Miami of Ohio which is a small irrelevant school. He sucked from day 1 other then he would respond to emails and had no leadership, vision or balls.<br /><br />If Jarmond hires the head coach from Ball State or some other god forsaken place who has been 500 his entire career then yes he will suck too. But I have a strong feeling he isn't going to go in that direction. His only interactions have been with Meyer, D'Antonio, Narduzzi, Schiano, Izzo and Matta. The Dazzler isn't pulling the wool over his eyes.<br /><br />Again only time will tell if he is successful or not and he will be judged by who he hires, what facilities he builds (new Bball practice facility, reno to Alumni, reno to Conte) and how he moves BC to the 21st century in all areas, fan experience, marketing, Flynn Fund, student-athletes services etc.<br /><br />Give me realistic name you guys wanted. Search is over, so give me one name that is legit? I bet you can't.Shabby1011https://www.blogger.com/profile/09542073601477462357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-34555066128310122442017-04-21T14:10:00.182-04:002017-04-21T14:10:00.182-04:00If KHead is right and BC really loves the Daz, we ...If KHead is right and BC really loves the Daz, we are doomed.
