Spot on. It's a slimeball business and there's a 99% chance anyone trying to do things the right way will get eaten alive by slimeballs. I think it's disgusting how he's put things out publicly, but I guarantee you the school is trying to screw him royally behind the scenes especially at a school with football
My point is this...
This is what I’m talking about. Yes he was a great coach for the Hall but… he’s leaving a lot to be desired in terms of how he acts.
Nova 18
If the last 3 years don't tell you anything about valuing the entire season over one weekend in March, you're a lost cause. Willard entire seasons have been as good as it gets for Seton Hall as we never had to the funds to get players the Villanova Wildcat$ got. We've never had the best roster in the league.
IDK how different that is than most teams though unless you’re top-10 legit. Willard was very consistent here, 6/7 NCAAT to end the season. If you think the 1-5 NCAAT record was as good as it was going to get, or you thought he’d eventually break through (me) probably depends how you view his tenure. It was very good overall, IMO. The season I thought we were clearly underachieving for a long stretch was 2017-18 with those Seniors. That team lost 7/10 in the BE. 🤷♂️
Any chance you’ll reimburse me if wrong?
I mean, Florida is probably 8 or 10 points better than them, anyway. But I get your point, and I might disagree, though. A few years ago, yes -- the Terps would absolutely tank because they know he's gone and leaving them.
Good take. All the former cheaters under old rules have been normalized. Look at the crap Wade was engaged in and how he handled his LSU mess. Now he acts like an open, honest broker. The world has been turned upside down. I like to quip that if we leave anything up to adults, they'll bastardize it and ruin it.
I think that's the $64,000 question. If he loses tonight, then yes, his signature is on the contract by lunch on Saturday. But let's just say they go all the way. How on earth could Maryland let him walk? Surely they can afford him, and you'd think the "NIL" options would drastically increase.
I would think yes. For as much as people want to tell me Maryland is a basketball school, they are a basketball school without an AD that also plays big ten football. They can bring in an AD next month who is looking to build up football more than anything and he won't get a shot at another Villanova.
All true. I guess Evans left for SMU at a very unfortunate time for Terps fans. It'll be interesting to see how it all goes down, especially if they advance.
IF the refs had the BALLS to call a walk at the end of the game all this would be over with .
I think he’s gone either way, but the heat and awkwardness gets insane if he wins both games over the next 3 days. And I think they could, his team is good. It seems deeper than what they can give him in salary. Maryland wants to be a football school. Their people want to focus on football. The problem is not letting him go for salary – it’s he wants the commitment in writing of resources to basketball because he knows what will happen.
Revenue sharing will benefit the hall nationally but within the conference it's helping everyone equally, essentially still having us near the bottom in a conference where at minimum you play 21 games a year. We have to think outside the box or find better value guys that work to win within the conference.
Willard will never back out on Jay Wright. If he wins a Natty he owed MD nothing. I suspect we will hear that Willard was getting shot down on program asks for a long time. There will be a good spin here for Willard.
What joke. If someone wants him bad enough they'll pay the extra half million for him. An extra few days in the portal could make up a half million dollars easily in revenue next year in someones mind. Half million dollars is a joke at this point when it comes what people are getting paid. If he lost last week they'd probably pay for the extra week, no different than many other coaches moving on. Considering it's only 4 or 2 days, they may wait, but the money is insignificant for most schools.
Revenue sharing yes. But we can’t come close to NIL from boosters.
LOL if the refs called an elbow to the head, CSU could've lost their best player.
Maybe reach out to more than the same 10 people. Maybe admit that George Kurtz isn’t going to come save us and move on and focus your attention on someone who will actually give you the time of day. This isn’t rocket science and we don’t have to make it harder than it should be!
Speaking from experience, If I’m telling you to bet on it, you’d be wiser to do the opposite.
