Message: [QUOTE="DefenseBB, post: 5211040, member: 7492"] To me, the first school that needs to make a move is Houston...Ronald Hughey has been dreadful during his tenure. Uncle Joe McKeown needs to retire. Maybe he and Doug Bruno can have a "Chicago announcing party" and both retire on the same day. While their NET isn't terrible at 92, I do think it's time for PSU to move on from Kieger. They were 1-17 and 10-19 and keep losing the good players they do initially get. Wake, SMU, Pitt all warrant changes but their coaches are still in early years of their contracts so I think the ADs will let it play out, not sure why when the writing is clearly on the wall but hey it's not my money. There are the rumblings about Mike Neighbors and given the hard fall that has occurred, something ain't right in Little Rock so a time to change may need to occur. I wouldn't be surprised if he got another year though. I know Auburn has caused some concern but to me, Johnnie Harris should get another year to see if she can turn it around-doubtful but still.... Big Ten- the bottom of this conference is a hot mess- NW, PSU I have already mentioned. Purdue is going nowhere, Rutgers made the mistake hiring Washington in the first place and then there is our girl Marissa who needs drastic improvement and to weather the verbal harassment claims. I feel for [USER=7748]@azfan[/USER] as ASU needs to move on from Adair but she too is still in only year 3, so the AD may give her one more year to totally ruin their program but with a "positive, can-do, happy face" attitude. Hang in there my friend. UCF is also a mess but similar to ASU, this is year 3 so she's safe. At least BYU has Delaney Gibb to tout. Texas Tech is really the program that needs to move on from Gurlich who has done nothing with a tradition rich and supportive fan base. It's always tough to fire a legacy coach but its time Red Raiders, its time.... The Big East can make a case to fire any of the coaches not at UConn, Creighton, 'Nova or Marquette (yes, Seton Hall needs to take a hard look at Bozzella) as none of these coaches save Austin Parkinson (beset by major injuries) look to be headed in the right direction. Georgetown is safe as they just made him permanent last year but, not a great first full-time year. This conference can't improve until the coaching gets better. Xavier, PC and Georgetown are perennial cellar dwellers. Heck, I even think SJU needs to move on from Joe T. He drastically underachieved this year. But alas, I am not thinking any changes occur.
