Bob's Not As Poor As Reported

[angeleast]

We'd all be one happy family if it wasn't for that statistic.

Have to agree with that. But the one thing I think we all can agree is that next year is THE sh%t or get off the pot year ..

My numbers came from the NCAA website.

I got mine from the Tech web site.

128-104 ain't good enough IMO. If he were 170-62 you wouldn't hear squat from me.

No joke.

Averaging 24 wins over 7 years would create a lot of cheerleaders.

Keep in mind his 18 win average includes the the recovery years of taking over a program in the doldrums, where the inmates were running the asylum.

18 also includes the survival of a mutiny reboot years.

Averaging 18 wins through all that over just 7 seasons is rather impressive.

One or both coaches?

Both rightfully turned down a tournament

Been plenty of talk of one coach, but has both plateaued? Just askin'.

Comparing Gary to Marlin is not fair to either. Gary is building and exceeding expectations. Marlin is mediocre.

I wasn't comparing I was asking. You seem to be the authoritative figure as far as coaches go.

So for clarification, had Marlin won the CBI we would be ok with this season? He would not be considered mediocre because he won a post season tournament?

With the amount of money we pour into our programs, winning 70% of the games should be the standard.

A 55% winning percentage isn't good enough. How can folks not figure this out? It's year 7, not year 3.

Agree 100%, especially with the quality of opponents we face.

True it is year 7 not year 3, but some seem to be lumping year 1-2-3 into their assessment (win totals) as if he took over a healthy program.

I think the truth with Marlin and our program is somewhere in the middle.

After 7 years, are the results good enough? No.

Does Marlin provide a plethora of good things for our program? Yes.

Does he recruit well enough? IDK

Is the scheduling an issue? YES.

Is scheduling the fault of the staff? IDK, but inwould tend to think not 100%.

Is money an issue? In 2016 it seems it wasn't but Tony took a team to Omaha with no money and hudspeth had his best team with half the support he does now. Money doesn't always equate to winning.

Do the players like playing for this staff? Yes.

Do we have character guys? Yes.

Should we be top 3 in the league every year? The more I think about this, the more I think that it's a reasonable assertion.

Nobody should be top three every year. That's an unfair goal.

Should he be in the top three fifty, sixty, or seventy percent of the time? Yes, I don't think that's an unreasonable goal for a head coach if our goal is to be more than a participant in the big picture.

Do I think he should win the regular season championship a couple times in a decade. Yes.

We're not even finishing in the top third on average even when you toss out his honeymoon years and mutiny teams which overlapped.

If everyone is fine with a mediocre product in at best mediocre conference just say so.

More money is always helpful, but Bob isn't doing without vs his SBC peers. How many mulligans before we acknowledge his limitations and our acceptance of those? Being pretty good is okay because it's a lot more likely you could be a lot worse than a lot better. It's just not the American way.
