definitely no donation coming from me. horrible search. horrible results.

You can't blame the search without blaming the BOD for giving him the money he's offering. What did you logically expect to get for that? This is a nice reality check for us who thought we were a desired school and had a lot to offer. Right now, we are back to being nothing. The new HC gets to try and build that up again.

I admit this isn't a sexy hire or the big splash we all envisioned, but maybe that's exactly what we need right now. Look what a big name got us with Hewitt and Westhead. Look what happened when we went with the hot assistant in Nestor.

All I care about is getting somebody in who can recruit and coach the kids up. If Paulsen is that guy, God bless him.

Once again does anyone really know how much we we're offering? 375k was some bs number just thrown out there.

So not more than 24 hours before we find out for certain. Time to place our bets. Paulsen or the field?

Had some decent wins at Bucknell over the past 3-4 years over Purdue, Penn State, Richmond, LaSalle, Kent state, New Mexico State -- the kind of teams I don't remember GMU beating with regularity over the same period.

He won't be seeing a level of competition he's never coached against before. Looks like a decent hire.

I think we're in agreement on this. The more I read about him, the more I like what I hear.

Consistent winner at multiple levels (conf COY, NCAA, NIT, Div III Nat'l Champsionships), highly intelligent (cum laude w/honors, phi betta kappa), turned a program around, and players graduate.

You want the name BBB, pull something big out left field - no pun intended.

Interesting that you know ow much we offered Turner, that Moton had an offer on his desk and turned it down and yet you have no idea who we have actually hired as our next head coach...your source dry up?
