It's time to find the inside source that feeds this dog!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ty Spalding was reporting on staff changes yesterday on the premium forum. Matt Jones didn't post his "insider" info until this morning.
So why blame the messenger? Let’s find out why he was let go.True. He’s out.
He doesn’t have to name them. It’s out now, Murray and Gaudio.Mack has opted not to renew the contracts of two assistant coaches, but according to a school spokesman the school is not naming those coaches and calling it an "internal personnel matter."
I just read that possibly Dino Gaudio may be out as well??
So why blame the messenger? Let’s find out why he was let go.
Is it true or false?
It’s PAST time to find that source. Whomever it is needs to be outed as NOT being a UofL fan.
GO CARDS!!!
There is so much outrage in the world today that I have developed an emotional closet to store it in...and there isn't room in it for being upset that Matt Jones found out Luke Murray wasn't renewed before you guys did.
...in the end, what the hell difference does it make?
Ok. yeah we didn’t make the NCAAT, but Mack had plenty of excuses from Covid lapses and injuries. There has to be more to the story. I see 4 scenarios.You see this in football all the time. A head coach feels a little heat after an underwhelming season, and they'll replace their OC or DC. In basketball, assistants typically just move on. For Mack to make this move, he's obviously feeling the pressure.
Mack has a lot of things he'll do before he talks in depth again.I wonder if we'll get more in depth info on this from CCM?
Minlend is already quoted as not coming back.Mack has a lot of things he'll do before he talks in depth again.
1. Who is back? Sam, DJ, Malik, Carlik, and Mineland all have decisions to make.
2. Anymore transfers out? I hope Nickelberry is back for one more go.
3. Who could we sign to come in or get to transfer in to fill holes?
4. Get good assistants on staff
He's got a lot to do and maybe starting our offseason sooner will give us a head start on filling up the roster.
True dat! Honestly, Jones is a douche, but the guy I would seriously walk up to and punch in the throat is Drew Franklin. Never met him and he should be thankful!
I like Gaudio. Thought he got screwed at Wake. I guess we won't ever know the reasoning.Minlend is already quoted as not coming back.
You don't often fire one of your mentors as CCM has done to Dino. That is the one that concerns me the most.I can only guess as to why, but suspect Mack had very good reason to make these staff changes. Watch very closely as to who Chris brings in as their replacements, as it may very will determine the composition of the 2021-22 roster.
Don’t assume that the HC is always right in these circumstances. See a guy named Bobby Petrino, who fired asst after asstBoone Co:
you are correct, it is most unusual for a HC to terminate a mentor who has worked for the coach for so long. Yet, that is precisely why I believe Mack‘s difficult decision was in the very best interest of UL basketball, at the expense of his own personal feelings. There are reasons Mack has not shared in public as to why he has moved in this direction, but it would serve no useful purpose to disclose at this time.
You can bet our AD knows why, and would have approved it before having Mack initiatEd.
Maybe only on the resume of the person being let go... otherwise, no difference.I have a friend who insist that there is a difference between not renewing their contract and firing them.
