I'm wondering if there are any examples of what the student does, or how their likeness is used to compensate for those funds. Photoshoot? Infomercial? Nothing? Promoting things on social. Showing up at events. Etc… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s done nothing but win there, which is incredibly hard to do at a consistent level. 104-34 in the MEAC is nothing to look down upon. He would not be a good hire. He took over for Anthony Evans, who seemingly did better at Norfolk St, and then struggled at FIU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ub2019 Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 Some names that I think UB should reach out to. I think most on this list are highly unlikely given who has already turned down the job.

We don't have the school spirit or the donor base. Isn’t that the point now tho…it’s time to start building a donor base. An NIL collective. It has to start at some point and when coaches are passing on our job and citing that as the reason then it has to start now. What is the school supposed to do…cry about it then do nothing?

MuchMany Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 (edited) A MEAC coach? I'm sorry that's ridiculous. I'm pissed off honestly. I'm 36 and have no influence. Do we really not have any older alumni who have been beefing up this program since the Hurley and Oats runs? Our arena was full, we were filling Quicken Loans every March against the Ohios. How were we not building a donor base and the foundation for NIL? That's a complete failure on the department. They got gifted a couple golden geese in a row and squandered them.

There might be to much risk for the upside. Right coach. The AD is a genius by completely changing the coaching landscape of a completely entrenched boys club. Or the AD is a complete moron worst decision made by a college AD ever. This was raised on page 1 of the thread, so I think we have come full circle.

This is on them as much as the AD in my opinion. You hire a firm mainly the act as an intermediary so the leaks of who didn't accept, etc. are kept to a minimum. We went from 2 weeks of radio silence to 3-4 public rejections in 1 day. Someone screwed the pooch on that one and that is what consultants are for! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeseph Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 Yea this firm should take a lot of blame. Unless the AD is even more inept than we think you can’t bring candidates to the table if interest isn’t there. I understand that deals are negotiated on both ends but 0-3 on OFFERS at this level is completely and utterly unacceptable. This whole process is an absolute mess and everyone involved should be on some sort of hot seat. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue03 Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 It appears a lot happened in the past week when I wasn’t looking. Did things really go so far south?

Then the Youngstown St coach bubbled up, supposedly he said no thank you because our NIL wasn't strong enough for his taste. Not sure about some of the others that were originally talked about we had 3 public rejections yesterday after 2 weeks of nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Washington apparently hasn't been interviewed. Unfortunately, that leaves you, ChubbyHubby, to be the leading candidate at this time.
