He can talk a good game and promote good and is a decent recruiter but the sum is less then the parts. I Was not sorry to see him go. Then I got what I deserved in RM. Who just couldn't handle the job. Even though he (RM) won some big games it was only becasue we were so pathetic that teams overlooked us and we snuck up on some when it didn't really matter to the other team. ie gerogetown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a problem with what Stan's done, not done, here and you wanted MORE of Seth after his tenure here??? Mac actually accomplished things in his short time here that Seth couldn't in his 7 years ... namely, beating multple top 25 teams and actually advancing to the third day of the conference tourney. Stan's season last year was more impressive than any of Seth's ... Seth did the best he could with what he had to work with but that was 7 years of mediocrity exemplified.I don't give Stan any credit for last year. It was all about one man. D-Jones, who Mac recruited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to give Heath some time with the new Sun Dome to see if he can do anything with it.Right now I can't blame Heath, the Sun Dome is like a turd world shanty when compared to other stadiums. Heck some high schools have a better facility.If Heath bombs out then Woolard needs to go out and get a top 25 NCAA coach. We had one back in the 1980's, can't understand why we don't have one now.

So why didn't we go .500 in the BE the previous two years and make a post season tourney? .... and if you're going to be that simplisticly myopic, give the credit to Howard, not Jones, another Mac recruit ..... who was fired because he couldn't recruit ... go figure.

TallyBull Posted February 11, 2011 Group: Member Topic Count: 0 Content Count: 3,686 Reputation: 1,188 Days Won: 14 Joined: 01/19/2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 When I was at USF I went to a few basketball games, back in the B.B. Waldon/Seth Greenberg days. Back then I never understood why more students didn't attend the games, which were free to students, on-campus, and generally entertaining. Since I left I've been more a football fan, although I do check in with basketball every now and then. I was hoping Coach Heath would turn things around, and still think he can, if given a little more time. It's frustrating to have to wait, particularly when you're only on campus for about four years. But I think patience is key. I can't see a top-25 coach taking a gamble on his carreer to come here when it's clear you've only got two or three years to build a program. It seems unfair to the coach. Then again, if Coach Heath doesn't turn things around by the end of his contract, AD Woolard should strongly consider making a change. In either case, seems to me that future potential coaches need to have some faith that they'll be given a meaningful chance (i.e. more than two years) to turn things around. In USF's case, it simply cannot be done in two or three years. Perhaps it isn't impossible (I'm sure some of you will point out examples of where it has), but it is very difficult and highly unlikely.To quote Conan, "be cool, my babies...."
