They are 2-4 this year. Losing all 4 by wide margins (FSU, Syracuse, GA Tech, UF) But they won the AAC title last season, and made it to the Old BEast finals the year before. Was Harlan just not happy with the early results this year, ignoring past years, or did something happen behind the scenes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This must have been bad. Collin Sherwin â€@USFCollin 15m15 minutes ago Moreno got to 6 NCAA’s in 9 years, won the Big East in ’07 and the AAC last year. So… yeah very likely something bad happened here. Collin Sherwin â€@USFCollin 7m7 minutes ago Hasn’t been arrested in Hillsborough Cty RT @chuckycrater: @USFCollin This has to be some kind of police incident, nothing else makes sense.

Clearly this is not the "standards" expected of a coach at USF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If its just for a lousy start (which I doubt) then eyebrows will be raised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
