of his tenure might not come here now. Even if you wanted Seth gone do you guys really think our hoops will emerge from this IMPROVED versus the status quo. If Weaver had dropped dead last week, there may have been a chance. You people KNOW damn well he'll mangle this hire!

With Montrezl bailing, this is a COMPLETE train wreck. Seth's best big man recruit

Blame Seth not Weaver. I don't think one insider has come to Seth's defense. The timing is terrible for sure, and the program will pay a steep price for it.

To be fair, most of the insiders are employees of the athletic department. They aren't going to come out publicly saying their boss (Slim Jim) was wrong.

I really enjoy when you contradict people, basically telling them they dont know as much as they think they do. Always humerous On another note, i appreciate the insight.

Does this really MATTER? Do we want a basketball coach or a bass fisherman? What I really liked about Seth is that he and his teams had the attitude that they were going to look for the biggest guy in the bar and take him on. The way we'd go into C-Hell or Durham looking to slay the dragon in it's lair was a thing of beauty. I really felt like Duke and the Heels FEARED us ... more so than any other team in the league. That, by itself was a great achievement. It will be very hard to find a coach that did better against the top teams than Seth. Originally Posted by TabbHokie

The mentality of "taking on the biggest guy in the bar" was a GOOD quality of his teams IMO. I liked that.. Problem was, he habitually got beat up by the little punks in the back of the bar. His teams had plateaued, and seemed to be trending down. I didn't see much fight in the team this year at ALL. He did a good job to a point getting us to a certain level. It was time to move on...

Yeah...all of a sudden, the guy is a saint? ..And I don' t get all this venom towards Weaver. Managers are managers because they have to make the tough decisions. This was a tough, although perhaps all too obvious, decision that HAD to be made. Originally Posted by TabbHokie

And Weaver is going to "mangle" (only one of a hundred term s I've heard) the hire? Is this the same guy who HIRED Seth to begin with? Did he hire some stinkers? SURE...name an AD who hasn't....
I don't get that this is simply an excuse for the weaver haters to come out of the woodwork.
