remember that time frank haith did anything at all?

4/13/2006 8:05:20 PM

^Like Beat UNC last year and exceed expectations with Miami?

4/13/2006 8:17:33 PM

Exceeded expectations??

I think a few people picked them to go to the tourney this year. They hit expectations or fell short as far as I'm concerned.

4/13/2006 8:34:22 PM

If you remember only 4 teams from the ACC made the tourney last year.

4/13/2006 8:39:50 PM

if you remember they were picked to finish 3rd in the ACC this year... yeah...

4/13/2006 8:43:17 PM

anyone that wanted sendek gone, and is now ok with trying to get miamis coach

just fucking retarded, no other way to say it.

Which means they couldn't even make the tournament with a shitty ACC????

4/13/2006 8:47:10 PM

miami didnt make the tournament because they have no fans.

we took every home loss as a personal insult. they dont care. he will do a lot better with a program that cares.

4/13/2006 8:50:57 PM

The only reason why they were predicted 3rd was because of who the head coach was. When he originally showed up there two years ago he exceeded expectations. Haith would make a perfect fit.

4/13/2006 8:52:48 PM

You need to get Haith's dick out of your mouth.

They were picked 3rd because they had three ridiculous guards and a good big man.

Go get on Gillispie's nuts...that who we really need.

4/13/2006 9:01:58 PM

so we can have people complain about the offense again. Gillispie doesn't put up garish offensive numbers.

4/13/2006 9:03:08 PM

he did at UTEP

^thank you

4/13/2006 9:05:10 PM

Also, do you want a coach that will only use this as a stepping stone? This is Haith's dream job and he wouldn't go anywhere else.

4/13/2006 9:05:29 PM

a stepping stone for where?

[Edited on April 13, 2006 at 9:07 PM. Reason : szfutkjy]

4/13/2006 9:06:37 PM

NBA or any number of places. Gillispie doesn't exactly have a reputation for staying around.

4/13/2006 9:08:55 PM

because he started at UTEP and then moved up to TAMU? he's only been a coach for 3 years. how in the hell can you call that jumping around? there arent very many better coaching jobs than the one here

[Edited on April 13, 2006 at 9:13 PM. Reason : trertaery]

4/13/2006 9:13:21 PM

Let's also think about it this way. TAMU has almost as much money at UT. We would not win the bidding war. Also, Gillispie doesn't know about life outside of Texas. Haith has been around and is a top recruiter. Give me Haith.

4/13/2006 9:18:15 PM

haith and gillispie are my top two now. i'd gladly take either. i like each better than the other for sepearte reasons.

i like gillispie's ability to flat out coach a team to immediate sucess, but he may be limited in recruinting outside of texas. plus he has all kinds of ties in texas and may not want to leave.

haith is a hell of a recruiter, and apparantly really really wants to be our coach. you really can't beat that attitude. i think he isn't quite as good as gillispie from a pure coaching ability standpoint, but he would probably look a lot better with the upgrade in talent he would get if he came here.


here's my outlook now:
1a Gillispie
1b Haith
2 ...
3 we lose

4/13/2006 9:37:37 PM

1. PJ Carlesimo
2. Haith
3. Marshall
.....
99. Monte Towe
100. Les Robinson
101. Lakista McCuller

i have feeling we might make it to 99...

4/13/2006 9:39:48 PM

We should get the Wakefield coach.

4/13/2006 9:41:04 PM

anyone that wanted sendek gone, and is now ok with trying to get miamis coach

just fucking retarded, no other way to say it.

4/13/2006 9:50:11 PM

So you think it's okay to compare a guy's 13th season as a head coach to a guy's 2nd.

Herb had 10 years to build this program. Haith hasn't even played his players yet.

4/13/2006 9:52:21 PM

You can look the way miami plays to see that he isn't special. Their players rarely played like they gave a shit.

Furthermore, we are considering quite a few coaches who have accomplished more and show as much or greater promise. Marshall alone puts Haith to shame, and by all accounts, we just have to offer him the job. Marshall has actual wins in the NCAA tourney with lesser players.

Marshall wins with lesser talent. Haith loses with lesser talent.

4/13/2006 9:57:07 PM

Marshall's name always appears in coaching searches, but for some reason disappears. Also, Haith has only been a coach for 2 years and coaches in the ACC Marshall coaches in the Big South.

4/13/2006 10:00:33 PM

There isn't much if any difference between the competitiveness of bottom-feeder major conference teams and top mid major teams.

4/13/2006 10:05:33 PM

I don't even think Big South could be called mid-major

4/13/2006 10:08:18 PM

either way, you're not going to be able to evaluate these non-major teams from the internet. You have to look at the quality of the product they put on the court. Haith has done nothing to show that he is anything other than that guy who leads an acc bottom feeder.

4/13/2006 10:10:59 PM

Miami under Frank Haith is not a bottom feeder.

4/13/2006 10:19:47 PM

Mark Turgeon?

Doing magic at Wichita State says a lot.

4/13/2006 10:28:36 PM

Oh yeah...can this thread be locked??

One, because this guy already has an "I love it when Frank Haith's balls are in my mouth" thread.

Two, because we have better options for a coach and should use them before we settle on Haith.

4/13/2006 10:37:21 PM

such as calipari?

4/13/2006 10:44:27 PM

Such as Gillispie...who has taken worse teams than Miami and made them just as good.

4/13/2006 10:46:26 PM

well some n00b on packpride with 4 posts sez we're in communication w/ Tom Crean.


lol.

4/13/2006 10:47:15 PM

some veteran on TWW just said we should go after Frank Haith

lol.

4/13/2006 10:49:26 PM

consider yourselves re-warned.
