This is a real black eye on Orsini's tenure as AD. If he wants that Notre Dame job someday, he better pull a rabbit out of a hat with this hire. I had no idea that it was this bad, and that other coaches are calling us out on it.

I thought this was only embarrasing to us internally...but seems our perception in the bball community is exactly like PonyDoh has described to us.

And there must be some other obstacles (admin, curriculum, support, etc) that gives hesitation to those looking at the job. My guess is nobody wants to take us into the Big East in the current state we are in and have their W-L record completely screwed, getting killed by the Uconn's and Georgetown's of the world. Not sure whether to blame Orsini completely or how much should fall on the shoulders of RGT. If the Collins story is true, then the blame should be split between the two.

I'd like to hear from the CofC members on this one personally. You guys are the ones that have access to those two and have influence. I sure hope you are conveying the sentiment of the fans.

I woke up this morning thinking, since it was so quiet, perhaps we got RickMa. What a joke

If they don't get it done soon, they are digging a HUGE whole for the next coach. (who already is facing an uphill battle) The new coach needs to study tape, figure out who he wants to keep, hire a staff, keep the signees, get new ones, find transfers........ bad bad bad.

But then again, I'm really not taking any name seriously because SMU is not taking this search seriously.
