Since he's getting some discussion in the press, etc, make your case -- should he stay or should he go?
In favor of staying, I see it as (a) young coach, handpicked successor King Jay, who should get more than 3 years to grow; (b) while he has underperformed relative to talent and expectations, his teams haven't been horrible either -- generally around .500 in the NCAA discussion for at least part of the year; (c) had some bad luck off the jump when Justin Moore -- who many of us thought would be the next great Nova guard -- got his career seemingly derailed by injuries; (d) did pretty well his one year at Fordham, considering its Fordham, which shows some coaching chops, because that's a really really hard job to win on any level at ; (e) no obvious attainable choice to replace him at this juncture.
In favor of moving on (a) inherited a blue blood program with all the resources to succeed, and has underperformed for 3 years; (b) has been unable to get talented transfers and HS players attainable because of Nova's resources with their returning talent; (c) from afar, seems to have lots of questionable coaching decisions, situations and collapes; (d) plenty of others, even if not a big name, could do more with the Nova job given the Nova brand and where they are positioned on NIL; (e) with the ascension of other schools in the Big East, Nova cannot afford to continue to be "middle of the pack" and fall behind.
Thoughts?
