Fire Dave Paulsen / Hire Tony Skinn

[tblack33]

I want the kind of coach that brings in a new grad transfer that gets arrested on multiple driving violations and drugs found in the car, but still starts him for the first game.

Post of the day, it’s going to go over quite a few heads.

I hope after all that, he only scores 6 points through 30 minutes on 2-6 shooting.

"THIS SEAT IS RATHER WARM

• Dave Paulsen (George Mason)
  • George Mason is no longer the perennial postseason squad and NCAA Cinderella it was just a decade ago. Ever since Jim Larrañaga left, the Patriots have become an also-ran struggling to regain relevance in a competitive A-10. Paulsen came on in 2015 and has done nothing to move the needle. The highlight was the 2017 squad that won 20 games and went to CBI, but this is a program that went to five NCAAs and three NITs from 1997-2011. His fifth-year team was his worst yet, finishing near the bottom of the A-10 at 5-13 (17-15 overall), bringing Paulsen to a 82-82 overall at GMU (39-51 in conference)."

Yep. He still sucks.

Curious if this site has intel, or just goes based off what they see. Hopefully they have some intel that the seat is warm too.

 

[Patriotsince81]

Perhaps we should forward this to Brad.

 

[KAOriginal]

Happiest man reading that?

Paul Hewitt.....happy that his name is not mentioned and the sole blame of "also ran struggling to regain relevance."

But damn that post season from 97 to 11.....so miss that kind of excitement.

 

[Patriot8]

He should be forwarding it to Paulsen, while texting Skinn asking if he wants a green or gold tie for the press conference.

They probably just look at records and quickly google it. Might have even come across these boards lol.

Lol, would not be surprised if they just look at records and make stuff up.

Bump

I could see Maryland letting go of Turgeon. I would love for Mason to be his rebound school.

Not the best of commutes from Kensington, MD to Fairfax every day.

He might have to downsize with the Mason salary. There’s some pretty nice townhouses off Braddock.

 

[mkaufman1]

I’d take Turgeon, I’d take Lonergan, I’d take Skinn. Any of them would be great.

 

[gmujim92]

Why would we want to hire a coach who was just paid by his previous employer to go away? Did we not learn from the Hewitt Error?

Oh and Turgeon sucks. No thank you.

 

[tblack33]

Yeah unfortunately if Turgeon can't win at UMD, I can't see any scenario where he can win at Mason with less resources. Give me Skinn, give me Lonergan, just give us something to get excited about.

Turgeon is slightly better than Paulsen in game coaching. No thank you

Rich McKay from liberty? or is Mason a step down. dont know anymore.

It’s certainly not enough of a step up to get him to leave Lynchburg. I’d be willing to bet he makes more than Dave.
