Did Masiello ever get his degree?

Yes. A couple of months later if I recall correctly ...

It is hard to look for a new Head MBB Coach in August. You are limited to coaches out of work and assistants. Any current head coach most likely wouldn't find it ethical to leave this late in year. 

 

If he has to be fired with cause, then I understand. No point buying him out now, might as well let another season go by, then do the buyout, it will save money and be a larger pool of candidates. 

 

The difference between the two is simple: in the first scenario he was a party or aware of bad stuff happening. The second scenario, bad stuff happened, he wasn't aware but should have been.  Of course, if no bad stuff happened, then he can focus on keeping his job by winning.

I'd take the gig, but would need a 7 year deal.

Greenberg has tons of contacts and he can sell a program.  At this point in time, it could only help.  Actual on court performance has to take a back seat to healing the problems and getting into the Big 12.

People downvoted me on this.  I guess (correct) opinions are only welcome if they follow the herd mentality.

Evey school makes bad hires.  We'll survive.

In this case we made a bad fire.

This.  It's easy to MMQB hires.  Not to move off topic, but Skip Holtz was a good hire AT THE TIME.  Obviously, it didn't work out, due in part to his inability to recruit in Florida.

I still maintain Skip's undoing was more Cosh than anything else he did or did not do.  I've never seen a head coach openly hostile to one of his coordinators in a post game interview before it happened here.

^ Cosh.  I'd almost forgotten about that dumpster fire of a hire.  Thanks for reminding me - I guess.

I don't remember that at all - was trying to find a link to the story and got nothing.  What was said?

The bend dont break defense started with Skippy and Mark Synder.  Cosh continued the downslide.  The Notre Dame game was a prime of example of playing not to lose. Yes we won but it was the beginning of the end and the once confident Leavitt players had been infected with this attitude. Try not to lose!!!!!

Aww "dumpster fire", it's been a while since I had the privilege of reading that favorite phrase on TBP!
