McDermott under contract until 2015?
- Thread starter Drive4cy
- Start date
It was the only job he went after. He wanted to get back in the Big XII, back in the midwest, and stick it to K-State...
You must be a buddy of his since you know so much about the subject.
Why are people skeptical? Since he claims to be from gainesville he would have grown up there when kruger coached at florida, he also claims to have played to have played baseball at isu.....seems to be some pretty good tie-ins there to me.
So why is he still coaching at UNLV then?
That and you've said coachES. So far you've only named one coach - and even with him I've heard of no official indication other than speculation by yourself that he actually wanted to come here.
I'm sure he's been up against quite a bit, but that doesn't excuse the inappropriate-for-the-Big-12 style of basketball he's trying to play at ISU, or his lack of understanding (by his own admission) of the talent level required to play in the Big 12.
If Morgan needed to be fired in order to prevent NCAA sanctions, then fine. However, someone qualified to jump right in at the Big 12 level should have been hired, not someone who needed three years (or maybe more) of on-the-job training.
Here's the bottom line after three years of McDermott: ISU is one of the worst teams in the Big 12, and has maybe 2 or 3 Big 12 caliber players presently on the roster. Maybe there are some talented recruits coming in, but that will not be known until they get here and actually perform. The performance of the program under McDermott is not deserving of a contract extension through 2015.
I have heard a number of former college coaches and players comment on TV what a fine job of coaching Mac has done with the talent we have. But then I suppose that they don't know what the are talking about and we should believe a guy from Texas and a former baseball player over everyone else.
I think he's done fine with the talent he has. The problem is, the lack of talent is his fault. Can't have it both ways. There's no doubt that winning 15 games with the current talent level is a fine coaching job. Not a great coaching job, but a solid one. I wouldn't argue that.

They apparently weren't minor to the NCAA, and our last coaching search proved that most coaches wouldn't come here at all.
I don't know if it's been brought up yet or not because I haven't read the entire thread, but how do said posters pissed about this know that a donor didn't step in and say lock him up, and if we need to go a different direction, I'll give you the money to buy out the contract.

That has not yet come up. It would be interesting, but unproven like so many things today.
Except for Bryan Petersen. He was a proven commodity today
:yes::notworthy:
Believe what you want. The facts are that for the last three seasons, ISU has been 6-10 (7th), 4-12 (11th), and 4-12 (10th) in the Big 12. And if you have the stomach for it, check out where ISU stands in the various conference statistics this season...
If Brackins were to comeback isu would be the best team in the state and a 500 or better big 12 team.
When he leave for the draft we become the 3rd best team in the state and 4-12 in the Big 12 again
