A lot of the same people on here poo pooing the Des hire are some of the same folks who were pushing for Brad Boyd for hoops. Not anti Brad but Des has a better college coaching resume.
Des is somewhere around 7 or 8 years in as a coach at the D1 level. He was handed the keys with a blue print on how to get a program to the top 20s, that had never been before to the top 20s, of college football before. All he’s got to do is follow the script. As Maggard said the product wasn’t broken when he hired Mike so it gave him the luxury of hiring from with in. Someone that could just keep the ship moving in the same direction.
In MBB on the other hand if Marlin gets let go the program would be broken in many peoples eyes and you’d have to hire someone to redirect that ship. Many on here criticizing Mike, think B Boyd’s resume would be one to hire, in order to redirect that ship, as they were calling for him and singing his praises, during the season. And those were the same people who are now calling Mike a high school coach? ______r PLEASE.
I was one of the biggest critics of the Des hire. Still think it was the wrong move. But he's our coach. Period. He HAS to have time to at least prove himself. It is WAY too early to talk about firing him.
Not disagreeing, just discussing ...
Our schedule next season has several recognizable names, plus I believe we can expect some APP/Coastal/Marshall additions as well, right?
If he wins 5 games this year with this putrid schedule, do you allow him to continue next year without even thinking about a change? Go limping into 2025 -- the year our new stadium is supposed to save the program -- with the same coach who has produced mediocre results for the last 3 years?
And to clarify, I'm not saying this WILL happen, I'm just wondering what the leash is from some of the least Fairweather fans
