So you don't think what CBS SportsLine was too overjoyed to report couldn't have been the tip to a very large iceberg?Quote:

For the record I am with Greg Mac until at least 2012....Then if we are still hovering around Last Place in conference....Then its time to consider getting rid of Greg McDermott...
Patience Guys its gonna take a lot of Patience to get back to the Orr-Floyd-Eustacy-Morgan style of winning basketball!!!:yes:
Maybe more would have come up if Morgan wasn't canned. If there was something to the rumor that if ISU didn't get rid of Morgan then cans of worms were going to be opened, then maybe doing so saved the university a LOT of public embarrassment. Granted, I have no idea what happened, and a lot of this is pure speculation. But saying that there wasn't anything deeper than just a scheduling scam and poor grades by players that were likely going to lose ISU scholarships being the only reasons why Morgan was fired is pure speculation as well. In fact, ANY Morgan discussion at this point is pure speculation - NOBODY knows what happened. I just tend to trust Jeremy's word on things, even if he can't/won't spill specific details, as he's been a reliable source of information in the past and appears to have connections in the athletic department that the rest of us don't have.Quote:

It is a Mulligan when you are giving more strokeds for your folks. It is cooking the books like Enron.
It is the stimulus plan bent the wrong direction.
It is I-State politics.
People were saying we were better off in the end when WJ jumped ship. Sometimes people want things to change so badly they believe in things that have no logic.Quote:

When you play at least ten creampuff games a year and then cannot win five of the rest, then your program is going nowhere. Fifteen wins should be 95% achievable in a decent program.Quote:

I might even offer that the clock could now be ticking with JP and next year is put up or shut up whether CB stays or goes.
A side comment, Shawn Taggart was the leading scorer for Memphis (#5) last night. If Shawn was playing with CB we might have had a chance for 20 wins while our guards would not feel so pressurized to miss their shots.
Let me start by saying I'm NOT for firing gmac at this point. But the opinion I've seen on here that losing a coach "put's you back another 3-5 years" is flat out wrong. If you hire the wrong guy, well yes, of course that puts you back but if you hire the right guy it takes no where near 3-5 years. This is not opinion, it is fact because you see it ever single year in college basketball. Good coachs can turn around programs in 1-2 years. I'm not saying gmac is not a good coach either, I'm willing to be patient for at least another year but losing/firing gmac would not set us back as much as people on here say.
How much further back could we possibly go?Quote:

If he's thinking straight, and he seems intelligent and well-informed, so there's no reason to think he's not, he'll be back at least next year and then reassess his and the team's situation.Quote:

Even then, he won't stand a legimate chance, (see Troy Davis), for any national honors other than all-american.
I think CB has his head screwed on straight and will do the right thing for himself and for the team.
If CB transfers, then McD is gone.
If CB goes to the NBA, McD earns another 1/2 year -- which means he has to show some big improvement through the course of next season AND generate buzz with recruiting. If the fan base checks out and the team isn't improving and there aren't any top 20 type recruits, then -- deserved or not -- I'd say he'll be gone.
But I think CB will be here next year and we'll be a bubble team.
Troy had no one around him. And in the second year when he already had his name out there the East Coast bias shined brightly in pushing Wuerrfel to the Heisman.Quote:

We'll get the Dendy kid from Indian Hills and hope that everyone on the team has improved drastically and we'll have a similar season as all the McDermott years.
then we will probably move to the mo valley where we will continue to mediocore there too.
