If you think that McDermott is not a good coach or even worse, if you think Morgan was better.
Morgan's last year w/ much more talent (Stinson & Blalock) we had 16 wins. This year w/ far less talent ( 3 walk ons playing a lot of minutes) we will have about the same amount of wins. How many teams in the country have to play 3 walk ons? Let alone how many of them win a game against a big 12 team?
As shown numerous times on this board, the 3rd year is where McDermott's teams start to click. I think it is going to take him four years at ISU due to the mess he inherited when he took this job. You can't blame all the player turnover on coach. Not when he took this job thinking he would have Carr, Degand, Taggart, and possibly Blalock only to realize he had none of them. (not to mention our recruits in Westbrook and Stinnett) He was stuck doing last minute recruiting in which he had his hits (Wes) and his misses. Give him time. If we start seeing players like Eik, Buckley, Mann start leaving/getting in trouble then we should be concerned. Until then, we need to give Mac the benefit of the doubt and show some respect to a man that took over the program when it was rock bottom!!! He is OUR coach and the RIGHT coach!
