It’s time for resignations at SHU

[lloyde dobler]

Don’t know high up the chain it goes, but it’s time for people to go.

Aside from the incredible embarrassment, the monetary cost in revenue in everything from tickets to applications and everything in between is costing the school more $$$ than it ever could have spent on NIL.

Let's be serious if anyone expects Lyons, Felt, etc to voluntarily give up their old boys club cushy jobs. It's not going to happen

 

[Powerful Pirates]

I’m sure they think they do a “great” job

 

[hbkmyr]

They think If they ignore it, no one will notice.

Maybe it shouldn’t be voluntary. Does the school have the slightest bit of guts to act?

 

[JoePeppitone2012]

This has been said ad nauseam. Seton Hall is run like a prep high school it’s not a serious program or university. The sad truth no one will be held accountable

 

[SHUMikechine]

I resign

 

[lloyde dobler]

Maybe just maybe this can serve the same function as the Texas Tech NIT game

 

[Piratz]

Nowhere else would this performance be allowed to stand. MAJOR change would occur bc clearly the current regime is incompetent and wasn’t up to the task. I can’t imagine how bad it looks by the numbers and losses from unrealized revenue.

But with the level of cronyism at Seton Hall and the BOR, unlikely.

This leadership group took a program that had a great decade and destroyed it. They drank their own Kool-Aid.

 

[The Crows Nest]

Or better, the Marquette Big East tourney game.

But who is going to a) dictate changes with Sha and b) going to be replaced within Seton Hall administration so we can get some aggressive modern thinking in here?

I have less than zero confidence either Will happen

Both of these guys are going to point to a brand new Practice Facility as their crown jewel of achievement. Keep in mind that anyone who donated $ to this will never see it unless you happen to end up in the back of Walsh Gym.

Pat Lyons’ golf handicap is really good, and he makes the most of his Country Club membership. In the new era of Revenue Sharing that should be considered as an opportunity cost to SHU where that money should be going to acquiring players.

So you want to fire the 2 guys who helped rebuild the program but kiss the feet of the coach we hired who’s in way over his head. Sound about right.

While we’re at it, how about almost every team at SHU underachieving against its Big East peers?

 

[nutterforthree]

Fire the coach! This is unacceptable

I have no problem with asking questions about the two individuals mentioned, but I agree with your point as well. The primary problem here is the head coach. He should be the first one to resign.

 

[BOGDANOVICH]

Holloway is a good coach
But he is not a magician

 

[Hall91]

The reality is that the entire Athletidc Department and staff may need clean sweep because it’s hard to trust that Shaheen would do the right thing with a bigger NIL/Revenue Sharing budget. We are a bad offensive team because we don’t have enough true shooters/scorers like we had in players like Dawes. Jaquan Smith would be one of the best players on this year’s team.

But who among the leadership of this school would have the courage to make the hard decisions? We were saved in the past by guys like Pat Hobbs who took control when Gonzo went off the ranch. We don’t have anyone like that who can be objective as far as I can tell. We are at the mercy of Lyons and Felt to get their sh!t together and have a legit plan on how $ can be raised in the new era of Revenue Sharing. Do they have a plan? They should by now.

Love me some Jaquan Smith

I don’t think the problems change with a new head coach. We were picked 10th for a reason. And when you’re down 2 starters who were expected to carry us to 10th place I’m not sure what people expect. I’m no fan of the last 3 years and was outspoken that the season last year was a bust. Our program was at a point where it was NCAA or bust. A year later, if we’re not at rock bottom we’re so close any normal human can’t tell the difference. I hate to be saying this but getting to NIT will now be an achievement until we get back to NCAA or bust standards.

Great. We have a new state of the art multi million $ practice facility and no team.

Just say for argument’s sake that you are right… What about Holloway’s massive buyout, plus what they’d be paying a new coach. Then what?

This. The mistake was playing into the Louisville rumors and offering an extension before he had accomplished anything here. Unless you consider an NIT title an accomplishment. In that case, offer him a lifetime deal.

 

[SHUisNJsTeam]

They still don’t have a plan for NIL but want the rest of us to believe they do! Sorry, Lyons and Felt are probably very nice guys but they both need to go. They are both in over their heads at this point.

 

[Burnsly]

Who says they don’t have a plan. I’m not going off the rails & calling for Holloway’s firing but to blame Felt & Lyons but not Sha is ridiculous. He’s a MAAC coach with MAAC assistants in a much superior conference.

Lyons at least has a body of work here that one could debate the merits of. I don't see what Felt has brought to the table during his tenure, short of overseeing the rapid decline of essentially every sport we have. I respect his passion for the school and the athletic program, but I thought it was a very weak hire at the time and nothing has happened since to change that feeling.

But but but he went to an Elite Eight and won an NIT!
