Sorry, my mistake, he is actually one game over .500 in a developmental league. Still, there is nothing that jumps out to me that this is some incredible hire by them. I wouldn’t be excited if it was us. He might win, might notI don’t think anything on his resume says he will.
Marlin should've been done years ago. It baffles me that him making the tournament this year gives him the green light for ANY more time here. Context is important, and you can't ignore his entire body of work. THATS what he needs to be judged on. If people want to keep supporting this, cool. We're all entitled to our opinions. Keeping Marlin screams mediocrity is just fine.
Gotta be honest I find this conversation to be in poor taste.
I’ve been hard on Marlin and when you look at the numbers, the criticism has been fair. But, our program just accomplished something. Our program represented us well. I think we had a golden opportunity to win and I’m disappointed.
I just think it’s not the time for this conversation. The man did what we all wanted him to do. How / when / why / what is not relevant to me at this point. We have to be able to support our people when they succeed. This Marlin stuff is not personal for me. I don’t care who the coach is. I just want to win. And we did. I’m letting the guy run his program and until he gives me more reason to doubt him, I’ll keep quiet. The most recent Bob Marlin narrative is a good one.
I’m just skipped ahead, instead of reading 7 pages to say Marlin needs to ducking go. I get that he “graduates” players, but I want players to win. Win the conference (how many times in the past 13 years?). We a game in the NCAA tourney. Win something besides against D2 and the dregs of our conference. By this time we should be rolling USM and GaSt.
Marlin sucks!

Marlin is breathing a sigh of relief, knowing you are going to let him run his own program.
This is fair. I have been critical of Bob and will be until I see better results. I do not think he is the right guy for the program, but as long as he is our guy he has my support. I can be critical, but I can say I've never hoped for this team to lose. And I will continue to support this athletic department no matter who the coach of any team is.
