Re: Going to be a long spring and summer for AD Harris

I tend to agree that Harris is not walking in looking to clean house. He's also not going to look at videos of past games and attempt to make some evaluation of what the situation was when he was not here. I think we can all agree that David Harris seems like a measured, deliberate guy who is not g...

Re: Going to be a long spring and summer for AD Harris

To fully appreciate how screwed up our basketball programs are, Harris needs to also go back and look at some tapes from the past three years. In the case of MBB, he needs to understand that Hunter is not going to change anything--the longer we keep him, the longer we just tread water, or sink. Hun...

Re: Going to be a long spring and summer for AD Harris

We need help fast but will we see it? I am hoping that AD Harris has been watching the men's and woman's basketball closely and understands we have serious issues. Sumrall will help open the door to another conference , I am sure of that. We don't need these two programs helping to close it. As far...

Re: SMU Game Thread

The problem that holds HArris back from replacing him is Hunters personality and popularity as a person. The results are looking like they will get much worse as each game sees less motivation and obviously no improvement in tactics. The other teams have already caught on to the game plan so second...

Nor what the average gpa is for our athletes. Which is like focusing on what an English Lit major can bench press and run the 40 in.

Re: SMU Game Thread

I'm afraid your forecast is highly likely--including Harris' performance benchmarks and requirements around scheduling. If Hunter does get another year, there certainly should be very clear performance measures that he has to meet. And for the reasons stated in my post above, I doubt he'll meet tho...

Re: SMU Game Thread

Unfortunately, I think Hunter will be given the benefit of doubt by a new AD. I suspect there will be a long post-season discussion of where things are lacking and what Hunter's ideas are for fixing them. Harris may also relieve Hunter of total control over the schedule and present him with a true ...

Re: SMU Game Thread

All sadly true but doubt there will be any change by AD Harris. He won 20 games a year ago, has over 500 career victories and took over a team that went 0-18 in conference the year before he started. I, too, want a coach that can take us higher than Hunter's apparent ceiling here. But if we fire hi...

Re: SMU Beats Hunter 87=79

He needs to be fired as soon as this season ends. Anything else is just wasting our time and delaying any chance to really resurrect our basketball program. Our current problems are systemic and recur virtually every game--and that's because they are all coaching related. Hunter is hard-headed about...

Re: AAC #7

The AAC will eventually bubble back up to the clear G5 leader. The reason is money. So long as the AAC is making considerably more TV money than the others, they will be able to hire better coaches, have higher recruiting budgets and get better TV access. It's the reason we were able to hire Sumral...

Re: Memphis Game 2 on Super Bowl Sunday

Another wasted year. It’s been evident for at least the last two years that we are going nowhere with Hunter. A decent win now and then doesn’t change the overall trajectory of this program. We really are in a Jewett type rut. Or maybe it’s best to coin it as a Dannen Rut.

I know the coaching is terrible, but the talent is not that great. We have a couple of players, but most of these guys would be bench players at many schools.
