GMAc won't be here next year.
- Thread starter Cydkar
- Start date
My faith is GMAC is waining.... but, JP has already said he's staying. I don't see him leaving. Part of me wonders if that is simply because JP doesn't see any good prospects out in the pool this year and would like to wait one more year????? Kind of sucks if that's the case and I doubt that it is, but it's a thought.
Hmmmmmmm.......Which has he had more of?:
1. players leaving the team or
2. Big XII wins?
In my opinion, it won't make a difference if the "bill payers" don't step up and pay the buy out. No way can ISU afford $2MM+ to buy him out AND hire a quality new coach for $600k-$700k. Unfortunately, we might see a decade of futility from Iowa State's men's basketball program.
Even if he comes back next year he is officially on the hot seat and we all no a lame duck coach is not going to recruit when those recruiting against him can tell the kid he won't be there much longer. On the other end Coach Mac knows he needs to win immediately so he will be looking for quick fix jucos which are so hit and miss. Things are really bad right now. In college sports you need a stable coach or to move on immediately.
This is kind of what I was thinking. That way, nobody is either at fault nor to blame. JP said there would be an extension... Greg decides to leave for greener pastures... Nobody got fired, no $$$ loss from the University, that kind of thing. But then again, I don't see this really materializing, unless GMAC gets an offer from somewhere else, soon! (and so the coaching carousel continues, but time is running out!)
Maybe Mac knew. Just because you are supprised doesnt mean Mac was. Ham was rumored to be transfering after last season.
Why is everybody so suprised?
Did you really think that MG and CB were the only ones going to leave. I said on here two months ago DB wouldn't be back. I have also said on here that Colvin wouldn't be back. I am suprised on Hamilton, and Colvin looks like he'll stay. I just want some people on here to give me some reasons why they are suprised. The players are not leaving because they don't like Mac. They are leaving because they realize they cannot respect him as a coach. They are not getting better as individual players, as a team, and most important they are not winning. WHY ARE YOU SUPRISED?

So, correct me if I'm wrong, but according to my memory McDermott has never received a contract extension.
If true, that means he initially received a contract in the Spring of 2006 which lasted until 2015 OR he exercised some sort of option between 2006 and today. How is this possible?
I think this says two things. One, McDermott was a shrewd negotiator in securing such a ridiculously (9 years!) long contract which was not tied to performance standards at all. Two, Pollard made a huge mistake. Does anyone have more details regarding the contract?

Here is an AWESOMELY bad stat. In McD's time here, so far he's brought 4 recruiting classes into the system. In that time, he's recruited 16 high school seniors (non juco guys). Of the 16 that signed up to play for ISU basketball all but 4 have left the team early. Of the 12 that have left, only 1, Brackins, has what I would call an excused abscense, going to the NBA.
Seriously, tell me another program that in a four year period is only retaining 25% of it high school recruits where the coach has not been fired?
This is absolutely ridiculous. I would love to be a fan of another Big 12 team right now so I could see our program from the outside and just laugh and laugh at how pathetic it is. Instead, I'm stuck rooting for this team and this miserable coach. Man I hope there is a change.

Too late. It wouldn't be nearly as bad if JP wouldn't have called the worst press conference an AD has ever pulled. He sticks with his word and goes to the bottom of Lake Laverne with GMAC on this one.
McDermott should do the right thing
and send in his resignation effective asap
what you always here is players playing like the coach well McDermott should just send in his resignation effective immediatly just like his players leaving him in the dust
McDermott is class act guy and I admire that but even he should know by now he will never be able to put together a team to compete in the Big 12
THIS WAS THE YEAR TO DO GREAT THINGS
