Keep dreaming champ. Zero chance Edwards leaves unless it’s his choice to do so.
Is this because of good academic performance? Typically ADs are judged on on-field/on-court performance, fundraising, and academic performance. I can’t imagine the Patriot Club is killing it right now.

It’s because we’re talking about Mason. We’re not firing the AD unless he screws a coed, punches a player or says something racist. F*cking TOC was 1000000 times worse as an AD than Edwards and look how long he stayed on.

Mason is Mason and the new Pres has bigger projects than Edwards unless he did something beyond acceptable.

Edwards might want Paulsen replaced, but the whole COVID and budgetary considerations could not come at a worse time for this decision.

It’s funny anyone thinks there is a Mason establishment amongst the fan base. Something like 80% of the AD’s budget is subsidized by student fees. We have no voice in the AD. Just ask Brian.

By the way, this cuts both ways. Enrollment is UP at Mason and since we don’t really rely on TV revenue or gate revenue or NCAA payout revenue, the AD really can’t make the COVID excuse about not being able to afford his buyout.

Hate to say it, but he’s gotta go. I’ve waited and waited for things to turn the corner, but it’s just the same crap. Not good enough in Year 6. Let’s go get Tony and pray he can breathe some f*cking life back into this moribund program.
Put it in the Chesterfield Observer so I know it’s real.

Your leash and loyalty was longer than almost everyone’s Jim. I know a lot of it was due to the reality of knowing we were basically going to be stuck with him longer than we wanted and hoping it would turn around.

It’s kind of funny every time I see a guy wearing a Mason sweatshirt in Midlothian I wonder if it’s Jim. I usually just walk by and say Go Mason.

Until Dave loses Kathy McKay the rest of it is just conversation.

lol that’s true. Even Hewitt had McKay rooting for him until the end I’d guess.

I’m still here...

I’m interested to hear your perspective on what Dave has done, hasn’t done, and whether you think we are crazy and impatient, or we are calling it like it is. I think we all want Dave to succeed, but his ability to adapt at a higher level has not been there from game planning to recruiting. Also the ability to have poor shooting game after game. I know you’re a big Dave fan, but I have to think you’ve seen plenty of what we have all seen.
