Willard Turns Down Holy Cross??

Thanks for confirming WPC.

In some ways, if KW wanted this job and didnt get it (rather than turned it down) it gives some hope that he is motivated to leave and may still be fishing for a soft landing.
 
SHUMA04 has it right

My daughter is a Holy Cross grad and I also know the place. With Carmody as a candidate, KW would never have been an option. Much better pedigree and coaching record.

If KW actually did get an interview, it had to be out of courtesy because of his Dad.

No one in their right mind would pick Willard over Carmody. That goes double for Holy Cross, which is an excellent academic institution that competes in a non-scholarship Patriot League.
The Patriot is a scholarship league.
 
Hoya, facts mean nothing here. knowing nothing doesn't keep the crazy mob from wilding on this site.

The Willard apologists are nauseating. They know they can't make a fact based counter-argument so they resort to insults. Typical human behavior of people who can't make a solid defense.

Hallx2, why do you and other so-called insiders supporting Wilkard have to be so bitter and illogical?

ok, I am sorry. It turns out over the last couple years, the Patriot League has started to offer scholarships - the facts over the Holy Cross' and Patriot League institutional self-perception vis a vis Princton and the Ivy League are unchanged.

Google "Patriot League scholarships Ivy League," and you'll get plenty of facts and context on how these two leagues compete directly. Heck, the first lines on the Patriot League wiki entry are enough:

Outside of the citation needed[/I]] for both the NCAA graduation success rate and the federal graduation rate.

The narrative and drivers don't change because recently the Patriots decided to formally give scholarships. Truthfully, the Ivies have a curious way of coming up with "financial aid packages" that are in effect scholarships.

I sincerely hope your "x2" isn't from either the Law School or Stillman.

Just for the record, I looked it up.

Turns out the Patriots were historically non scholarship but in recent years have started to give scholarships in basketball and football. Even then not all football programs though give scholarships.

Most sports however are are still non scholarship.
 
The "non scholarship" was always a facade. Between financial aid, need based grants and academic scholarships coaches could offer what is essentially a full scholarship
 
Im not bitter. And if KW is cut loose so be it. It is the animus and vitriol here that bothers
me. The posts by several fans are embarrassing. Scary that one of the most egregious proudly stated that he has a 14yo son who sees it the same he does. Don't any of you have a sense of just how low you have stooped? Another post stated that Ajou was a wasted schollie. You have nothing to base that on. If your names were attached to your posts you would never type the things you have. Lack of real facts doesn't impede any of you. Look in the mirror. Ask yourself if you'd like the world to know who you are and what you have published. I trust the answer is no
 
Agree Hallx2. These boards are ruined by a handful of the same posters. A posse of fans.

Actually, Pat Lyons knows me personally. Actually, I've talked with Dr Esteban multiple times. Actually - my name is well known. I have connections to the university that are very well-defined. And I stand behind my opinions expressed here. I am not a message board coward and I know so many of the others here personally - meeting them at events over the years. We are not hiding. We have spoken forcefully and directly with the same language used here.

Sorry X2 - you're lost behind a false veil of something. Whatever it is, you're not on some moral high ground, if that's what you think. Rational, caring, intelligent people have figured it out very clearly. To quote a movie, you lose sir, you get nothing.
 
Personal attacks on any player is totally uncalled for.

With regards to Willard, you should think hard about the lucrative salary and bonuses he is pulling while delivering five yeas of poor results. Is that okay with you that he is taking all that money and putting in a half-assed effort???

Completely in your space 85. Never even talk down the player, hold the management accountable at all times.
