Robinson Statement

[Floyd7702]

Robinson

Quick question, if he is such as great recruiter and assitant coach and the program is screwed without him why would he be going to Houston?? You would think that all kinds of Division 1 schools would be after him. hmmm. Its amazing how you can say what a wonderful job these guys do recruiting and coaching and were screwed now but dont blame them for us losing too, its only Mac's fault??

Re: Robinson

I have a better question. If he isnt a good recruiter or good at something, why did McDermott hire him in the first place?

Chance to get off the sinking ship???:wideeyed:

Re: Robinson

Easy answer is because he knows McDermott will not be around much longer.

It would be much harder for him to get a job after being fired. This is the "you can't fire me, I quit" situation.

And he isn't a "great" recruiter by any means. Simply one of the best on Mac's staff. Certainly not good enough to be at a BCS conference school.

Re: Robinson

I would say the Houston job would be pretty appealing. It's a solid program. To me there is too much emphasis placed on BCS schools in basketball. See, Butler, George Mason, UNI, St. Mary's, Gonzaga, and so on. Oh and Houston was once a huge Power.

Very carefully chosen words.

Very carefully indeed. Did you notice the worked with McDermott, learn from Dickey? Maybe that is just me.

If you don't want to read the link, it basically says he's working to hard to have Greg screw it up!

It's interesting how he's catching the next train out of Ames but he tells the players he recruited that they need to stay in Ames.

"You have to understand the nature of the business"...in other words, only the captain of the ship stays to go down with the ship and I'm not the captain of the ship at ISU.

Yeah, I caught that too...

"I want to be a head coach and staying would look bad on my resume."

Yeah, I caught that too...

Lots of people can talk and wink at the same time.

He called himself D Rob. What a turd.

 

[tec71]

These guys are idiots, and frankly in most cases the assistants are on a year to year deal. there's no severance for them if it doesn't work out. Plus how often have you seen it where they are the ones to go in a "shake up" to try to buy the head guy a couple years.

Are you kidding? McDermott is the head coach. He hired Robinson. Whether Robinson is a good coach/recruiter, or sucks, the responsibility still falls on the head coach's shoulders. You know, the guy making a million bucks a year? He and Pollard have managed to destroy the ISU men's basketball program in 4 years. Amazing.
