I don't think that most of the posters hate dan or Huff. We just expect them to win championships and neither of them appear capable of doing it. Football is not close after three years and it is the same with basketball after nine, again nine, years. I am tired of the excuses for both of them. Neither of them are being sought after by better programs. Obviously if they were good coaches, other schools would be offering them jobs. Both coaches appear to be over their head as head college coaches and neither of them will win the SBC championship this year. Both of them look lost on the sidelines.
After three or nine years, it is a reasonable expectation of the programs, not dislike.
No hatred, just facts. Either they win or fire them. I am tired of accepting "improvement" or waiting until next year. As George Allen of the Redskins use to say, the future is now.
Dan could have left after the ncaa run but didn't. He was never leaving Marshall. This was his destination type job. No amount of money would change that for him. NIL is something that has screwed up much for our basketball team. Imagine the excitement with taylor and Micah coming back, with a couple transfers etc. and the rest of the guys. We had a couple players bought off and i still think Dan will put together a good, exciting team to watch on the floor. I don't think he is coach K but he is the best we have had in my lifetime for sure, and who knows what the next guy can do, but history tells me, far worse than what we have.
If you want to make a difference, join the tip off club, come to the games. Don't jump off the ship when we are 0-0. Stop being so negative, just to be negative bust. I knew football was trash after I saw us play a few games, knew we'd be 4-4 right now, destined for a bad season. Maybe that will be the case for basketball. We might end up being a really bad marshall team. But we also MIGHT NOT. You ran in here with a smile from ear to ear, excited to rip on the basketball team for a preseason game before halftime dude. That's the problem. I was devastated to be right about our football team and see us lose. Hated it. You love it, you are genuinely excited to see us fail so you can come trash Dan and the players.
Just for once, maybe, just maybe, try to be optimistic. We lost a game to queens last year and played for the regular season title and NIT the very last game of the season, had a good year and you %^&* on them every chance you had. Support them for once.
