Bob Marlin says outside criticism isn't impacting his approach

[Million$Mullet]

I thought Bob was retiring midseason? He will finish out the season and go 2 and Q in the tourney. I don’t think anybody has to worry about this team stringing together 3 wins in the tourney. It’s over

Do I sense sarcasm?

[RaginScotsman]

At this point, I think most are apathetic enough to let Bob finish out the season. But if there are some pros in making a change right now, I'm all ears. Again, apathy so I'm down for whatever.

The teams have overall underperformed. I know the stats with conference wins over the past X years, but what matters are regular/conference championships, postseason appearances and postseason wins. I've not been a Bob hater, but you can't argue with history.

What’s that Robeism, your record says who you are?

I’m excited already for next season!

It's over. It's done. The fan base has officially clocked out outside of some of the diehards. There is no question that Marlin elevated this program from when he took over in 2010. But like everything else, there's an expiration date before the product becomes stale. We are past that date, and the product we are seeing is very stale. No excitement, no energy. As far as bringing up stats, here is one. 12 years; 1 tournament final. And that was the ONLY year we won more than one game in the SBC tournament. Here is another stat: 5th, 8th, 4th, currently 9th. Those are out season SBC standings since the 27 win season in 2018. Again, this product is stale.

At this point, it may be better to cut ties in order to save the program from having to take MORE time to recover.

Wait until we move from 12 to 14 teams chasing 3 days in March for one bid.

Most of the administrators have checked out. SBC administration has made it abundantly clear we’re a football league. Jettisoning LR and UTA should make that obvious. Conference should of played favorites when each of those had their runs to pull others along.

But WE should be fighting for that one bid. We have the money, fan support, and resources necessary to be that program to pull it off.

We will never get that dream of being invited to the BIG 12 with the state of the basketball program. Time to re build it.

If that's true keep Marlin and cut his salary to 100k a year. Invest the extra 500k in other sports.

That might be the plan…lol. Or hire a guy on the downside of time like Cliff Ellis.

They have cut his budget substantially already.

I would be ok with that since I know where we stand with basketball. As the highest paid coach in the belt that Is currently not the case.
