I figured he might not be here after this year. Losing the big time players Harris and Phillips mean he must move or basically retool. It is interesting that a local guy might leave isn't it.

Time for the Amy era to begin

I know McGuff had success at X, but I was never a big fan of his. His teams seemed to underachieve in the postseason, and made too many mistakes at key points in big games. His teams were the anti-Butler.

Agreed
Amy would be a great choice for our new head coach!

Any Waugh would make a great coach and we hope
Mr.Bobinski gives her the chance she deserves.

How much time do you give Amy to rebuild this team? 2 years, 3?

McGuff knew when the getting was good. Great recuiter terrible coach. The last minutes of the Louisville game were the worst minutes of coaching I have seen in a long time. We will be better off in the long run.

agreed
the Louieville game ending minutes lacked leadership from our head coach
I think playing only 6 players also continued to hurt us year in and year out in the post season
I hope our new coach, whomever she may be, runs a more disciplined team and offense
