Message: [QUOTE="Paesano, post: 2552100, member: 5631"] You are arguing with an irrational person that loves Ollie. He brings up last year. Well, last year we had WAY more talent than the rest of the AAC AFTER the injuries and we had plenty of experience. People used injuries as an excuse and even I somewhat bought it at the time. And then I looked back and saw what we were actually putting on the floor and realized it was BS. We actually had quite a bit of talent left and several of them were seniors, including a former McD AA. Looking back on it, there is no reasonable excuse for what happened last year. And then you had a bunch of talented kids run away from Ollie after the season. I have seen nothing this year that tells me the results would have been any different, even if Gilbert had not been injured. Sure, we are now legit lacking talent and experience but one can account for that when analyzing the team. Even given that, we are really seeing more of the same. I don't know how much of what happened in 2014 was due to Ollie or how much of that he lost along the way but I have seen enough to know that a change is needed and we can't keep whistling past the graveyard, waiting for him to find it, or we will get buried ourselves. Maybe he gets it back with a change of scenery. Good for him if he does! I would take a good high school coach at this point. I am sure someone will tell us that every good high school coach is being pursued by better programs not on an NCAA investigation so we have no shot with them either. [/QUOTE]
