Fire Dave Paulsen / Hire Tony Skinn

[GMUgemini]

Yeah- at this point all he has is the type of recruiting hes been able to pull off with Bergeron on his staff. Other than that, the play on the court hasn't improved that much.

Expectations at Umass have to be even loftier than Mason.

I don’t know, their football team hemorrhages money for the AD. UMass averages less attendance than we do (averaging about 3,000 fans per game over the last 6 seasons, 2,700 in 2018 and 2019).

Oh, and their budget is around the same as ours (2019):

Mason: $4,287,689
UMass: $4,025,395

If UMass has loftier expectations than we do, we have an AD problem.

Good points. I guess I am influenced by the UmassTwitter crowd.

They built a $25M practice facility for basketball. I’d say they’re more committed than Mason.

DP is lost in the giant grey area between 2006 Jim Larranaga and 2021 Jim Larranaga, which by my calculations makes him 2013-2014 Jim Larranaga.

That year Jim Larranaga finished 17-16, which is exactly where we are.

Will he be retained? I can only relay to you the drunken conversations I've had that I can't always remember with some very notable people that don't travel in your social circles but travel in mine.

Soon all will be revealed

No only in GS’ imagination

Yeah, was kind of wondering what's the basis for that claim too.

 

[GMUgemini]

They opened that in 2015.

 

[gmujim92]

They opened that in 2015.

And?

 

[GMUgemini]

And?

When they planned that facility, UMass football was still FCS. They became bowl eligible for FBS in 2013 (the year the basketball facility began construction), and has been bleeding the AD dry ever since. Could they spend $25 million for a basketball facility tomorrow?

 

[CHRISTOPHER JAMES JOLLAY]

And?

So?

 

[CHRISTOPHER JAMES JOLLAY]

Yeah, was kind of wondering what's the basis for that claim too.

What?

 

[tblack33]

So?

Okay?

Why?

 

[CHRISTOPHER JAMES JOLLAY]

Okay?

Why not!

Knight had an offer from The Virus. When DP arrived he pulled it. I guess Danny Dixon looked better. You can DM me if you want more details.

If this is somehow true, and Kim English is a legit possibility, it’d be a dream come true.

That would def. be out of left field, but I don’t hate it one bit.

The reason I didn't mention Kim English when I brought up Christian Webster, is because I didn't think Kim would ever consider Mason. I will personally move all of this belongings to Fairfax.

It's a massive IF obviously, but IF that's the level of candidate that we are back channeling to, and IF there's sincere interest from a guy like Kim, I have a restored level of faith in the admin.

 

[GMUSSTN]

I wonder if Barnes has anything to do with this English talk...

 

[gmujim92]

That would def. be out of left field, but I don’t hate it one bit.

He’s from Baltimore and works under Rick Barnes, but you’re right I didn’t connect that dot either.
