Why?

He was there to see Mick Cronin, who was his old assistant.

It is NOT just about UCF winning a game. It’s about where our program stands as we end 2021. I like Gregory and I wanted for him to succeed but the facts are that we are beyond horrible in BOTH s

Agree. I think it’s time our AD goes out and finds a basketball coach that can win here. Enough of the excuses, as long as we don’t win in the two biggest sports then you aren’t a good AD nor a good A

But he was available right?

I guess he would have been “available”.

Why would anyone think he’d come here? Especially after the Masiello situation.

Speaking of Massiello, his record fell off a cliff after that whole deal with USF and his degrees. So maybe not a good choice eventhough we didn’t get him

USF mustn't throw Gregory under the bus. As has been pointed out, winning here is hard and not a problem with any 1 coach. I hope that gets fixed. But in the meantime we can't give anyone a reason to say "I can't win there and they'll fire me in disgrace a few years in anyway" - that's not a good talent acquisition strategy

I don’t think he has been thrown under the bus. He has been given 5 years to win. He had only one winning season and then we had the issues last year that led to a mass exodus. As a HC that’s on you also. The rebuild this year was awful and this team struggles to score 60 a game and as I said earlier, what do you see in that roster that makes you think next year will be better? Any recruits you see coming in?

I’m tired of hearing is hard to win here. He is getting a nice paycheck, he has nice facilities and being in Tampa and AAC coaches should be able to do better.

If we do look I hope we take a shot at Chris Jans in NMState who has won everywhere he has coached.

Hummm…I don’t think that would hold him back. The real issue would have probably been $. Of course Iona is probably not paying excessively but it’s a good fit with a Catholic university that he is comfortable with (similar to his days at Providence College).

Completely agree, five years is plenty and unlike football basketball can be turned around more quickly. It’s amazing how terrible this university has been in a sport that has existed For 50 years. I wonder why the athletics department did not do anything promotionally speaking for the 50 year anniversary? Maybe I answered that…
