Once again they are an unranked team that is down from last year...not a bad team but its a melt down because we arent beating ANYONE! McD needs to go and for anyone to say he doesnt is just ridiculous. A step fwd would have been playing well against KSU last week, now its taking mizzou out of their game and still losing? Had shots been falling? You mean like countless layups and dunks? The guys played harder yes and loved seeing that but cmon....I am proud of how hard they fought being really shorthanded though:skeptical:
I wouldn't say that it is okay, but it would buy him another year. Also, I think that Brackins and Gilstrap's decision may impact the decision. If they both come back, this team still has an opportunity to be good next year. He would have a Senior laden team to see exactly what he can do. If he doesn't succeed next year, then you go find a new coach.
It isn't a coincidence that UNI is being very successful when it has a team full of seniors and ISU struggles when their only seniors consist of a newcomer and a guy that's been hurt all season.
Seriously it's time for a change, i like G Mac as a person and a coach in the Missouri Valley, he was one hell of a coach there, i really think Pollard made a mistake in hiring him. He's had 4 years to produce, he hasn't yet. He's had plenty of talent around him all 4 years. Last night was just icing on the cake, let 25 seconds go off the clock before even getting a look at the basket. It's under a minute move and move quickly don't just pass it around SOMEONE SHOOT THE DAMN BALL!!
We now need to stay behind this team as much as we can, hopefully the NCAA will let Quez stay. Maybe next year we will be competitive.
my .02 cents....

There is one thing that the op touched on that does concern me. That being stability. I have gotten the feeling, especially during this season, that Gmac is not the man for the job. He really does seem like a great guy but he simply hasn't accomplished much when it comes to the win column. I would love to think that giving him stability and support would translate to some great seasons but i just don't see that happening at this point.
But back to my original thought it also makes me wonder if a new coach is a great answer either. I like the idea of stability and support to create a true "program", so does a new coach just set back that idea again? It is getting really old with this 4-6 year revolving coaching door.
I still feel like Mac needs to go but i don't like the options any way you cut it. Seems like a lose lose situation at least for the near future.

Your opinion is fine... I assume you held the same opinion about the previous coach, who was significantly more successful than the current coach?
If not, its just another personal opinion based on liking the current coach personally rather than his job performance. Yeah Greg is a nice guy, but so are millions of other people. Gotta succeed, and results do matter.

Could I have the rest of your season basketball tickets? I have a couple of friends who would like to use them!:yes:
I would have held up my glass and said cheers to your moral victory.......last year.
But I made a promise to myself that I'm done with all of that in year 4.
We couldnt even make lay-ups last night so lets not get too warm and fuzzy.
I just don't understand why everyone is calling for Mac's job before the season is even over. I don't see how this productive. Go out and support your team for the remaining four home games. If, at the end of the season this team still hasn't shown you anything then have this conversation. We have 8+ games left people.
The problem is, it will take a magical run for us to even have a shot at the NIT this season. I guess maybe things will turn around and get better and we sneak into the NIT in year 4... if you are pleased with one NIT in 4 years than I can see how that prospect excites you. But most believe our program can do better (based on the 25 years of basketball before GM got here).
i think he deserves one more year, but if he loses colvin, or has another under .500 season, i can't stand behind him much longer
None of that addresses the question of the poster when he asked how it is productive to give up on the team and demand the termination of the coach during the season.
then don't read my posts.
why don't all of you who want to ***** and moan without interruption from people who argue for supporting the team go create a website were you can limit the members to those that agree with you?
I don't understand the argument about keeping GMAC for stability reasons. We have been anything but stable with GMAC at the helm. We have transfer after transfer after people quitting after people getting kicked off the team. It really cannot get any worse!!
well, I'm not going to quit posting just to please you, so you are just going to have to deal with it.
