hence. my last sentence.
We don't seem to have any kind of offensive scheme, no screens set and just a lot of standing around till shot clock starts running out. Only way Fox keeps job is to get the recruits he has committed for next year.
To me our biggest shortcoming on offense looks to be too many people standing around, which is a triangle thing. Too many isolation plays where 3 or 4 guys just stand watching.
A good college offense needs motion to keep everybody involved.
I really think Fox is near the bottom when it comes to coaching offense.
I would say he needs to extricate his head from it's hiding place, hire a great offensive coach and stay out of his way, but it's too late for that.
He's had 9 years and the offense is as bad as ever, the only cure is a new staff.
No way players committed should factor into the decision, which should be a done deal in my opinion.
Nothing should save Fox's job now, he's had far more time than he earned already.
The right HC will attract recruits and Fox will never be a top coach regardless of who he recruits, bottom line, he's not good enough.
I wouldn't go after a 53 year old Ron Hunter. If he was going to be THE GUY he'd have gotten there already.
I want to swing for the fences, not just be marginally better.
Agree. He had success when he had his son and the transfer from UK. Since then, not much. Don't think he's the one to lead us from the doldrums. A lot depends upon how much McGarity is willing to shell out. Given the lack of success of the program and the rebuild that would be necessary, I think he'll settle for some bright, young mid-major coach and go that route. Not saying it's what I would like the most, but what I think is most likely.
History shows it's not really settling to go after a young mid-major, it's just a matter of hiring the right one. I don't see a huge rebuild considering the roster has good talent and basketball programs with a solid core can be transformed with a couple of elite players.
We've quietly made our facilities very appealing as well. Stegeman isn't big, but it's cool now.
