Regarding your question, no, we will not win 7 more games. I would guess 2-3.
This is why Prohm must go........
- Thread starter ohly2311
- Start date
He's figured out a way to land talented transfers. At ISU he let talented kids transfer out. My guess is he's learned a lot along the way. Prohm probably will too, but it will be too late.
Open this thread to see people calling for McDermott to come back. We're ******.
Wayne Morgan left and literally everyone bailed but Rhashon Clark. Good god yes the program was in bad shape when he took over.
To be fair, he also never finished dead ******* last in big 12 play.
He finished: T-7th, 11th, 10th, T-9th. (out of 12, obvs)
I think we'll probably be 9th over OSU (though this week could tell us that) but we're dangerously near to pulling off a low bar that even McDermott couldnt hit, twice!
Someone finally said it. People think McDermott is way more successful at Creighton than he really is.
This team is a little short on talent, but most of all they are just plain broken. Guys are afraid to even take shots, except for Nixon, who probably shouldn't shoot.
I get the feeling that some of these guys are absolutely lighting it up in practice, and then can't make a shot in the games. Otherwise, why would they even try to set up the 3? For the most part, they are getting very good looks too. Just frustrating.

How so? Getting to the tournament would have been a major upgrade To what he did at Iowa State.
Morgan didn't leave. He got fired.
Before he got fired, was the program in that bad of shape? I know there was some sort of fishy situation that went on with recruiting, although I'm not sure it was confirmed before the firing. Obviously if it was confirmed, it was in bad shape.
But yes, after he left it was a mass exodus. McD really deserved at least two seasons to get something going but never did.
The misses on the 19 recruiting class have set his seat on fire; hopefully the 20 recruiting class can save him. We need these guys to be ready right away

He’s made the tournament twice in the last five years and has lost both of those times in the first round. Don’t you want to try and shoot a little higher than that?
He's also involved in the big college basketball investigation...
I apologize. I didn’t mean to say left. He was fired and if Prohm was held to the same standard he’d be fired this year too. Wayne was fired more cause he wasn’t JPs guy, but eventually long term Wayne wouldn’t have been good for the program.
Yeah, and mcdermott was being given time. If creighton hadn't taken him off our hands, he wouldve been back for at least one more year.
I'm not asking for him back, my point was I don't understand why he struggled here as badly as he did.
Which is truly baffling any AD would let a coach back after 4 straight losing seasons (which is hard to do given the amount of cupcakes that pad every teams schedule) and the 4th team lost a ton with only Melvin Ejim coming in, which was before we knew how good he would be. There was absolutely no hope for the next year and I couldn’t have stomached buying season tickets for basketball as a freshman if McDermott would have still been there that year.
I think he will always be more of a good mid majorish coach. I don’t think he translates to a conference above the Big East. He succeeds with more of your overachieving semi talented kids who will work hard.
