Its that kind of attitude that leads to failure. We are one good hire away from being relevant in basketball. I’m just saying we have to stick it out. Kelly gave him a new contract, maybe he should be fired. In the past 30 years we’ve only had about 9 winning seasons, so to be real we are not a basketball school. We’ve had a lot great basketball players come out of Tampa and they don’t give USF the time of day. Until we start winning regularly it will continue to be like that. I say let Gregory finish the season out, If we aren’t 500% he has to go. Then if we’re going to start from scratch and we can’t get a big name, hire Chucky Atkins he will give it all he has for the school he played for.

WE must purge the athletic program of losing and this toxic positive culture that the athletic department accomplished anything over the last 10 years in the two big sports other than getting an IPF built. We need to take more pride in our record than our uniforms on social media. Edited January 8, 2023 by Outlaw 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only point is that one good hire can change everything. If Stan Heath was able to win in the Big East ( one of the best conferences)and win 2 NCAA tournament games just about a decade ago; there is no reason we cant hire someone now who can get us competitive in the AAC. The last 2 hires Gregory and Antigua were horrible hires. We wasted 9 years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't follow basketball but based on their record they look to be dumpster fire as well for a long period of time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FAU is 14-1 right now. If FAU can do it there is no reason we can't. You just need Kelly to make the right hire. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look no one is claiming that we want to be an NCAA tournament school on a yearly basis. But we should expect to be at least competitive in the middle of the AAC. Every darn year we finish last in both football and basketball. You can’t say that you are doing a good job as an Athletics Director with that record. The school has become complacent in finishing last. That attitude must change. If you can’t even be .500 after 6 years you gotta go 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were VPMK I would start my coaching search now and hope I don't need to execute on it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
