I have YouTube TV and ESPN wouldn't let me watch the Longhorn Network. I tried after I read you comment.
Simple, what you think about Coach Novak? I also believe we still have a good chance to make the big dance, the only game I have watched this team play where I thought they were not fully engaged was the Troy game. Players gave all they had against Alabama and I think that was a real credit to them and Coach Novak. This team deserves our support, they are giving us all they can, just hope our fans follow their lead.
Same for me, Longhorn network is not available on Youtubetv.
In fairness to John Cohen her resume looked very good. Obviously Coach Walz from Louisville would have been a homerun hire. After him Coach McCray-Penson had all the credentials. She had an incredible playing career, was the top assistant on a national championship team, and had done very well at Old Dominion.
She literally only coached for one year, a year that was riddled with unknown and play be ear Covid protocols and with a team she inherited. I get that you don't like her but it seems a little unreasonable to blame everything on McCray after literally 1 season.
Or maybe they came to state for Schaefer and McCray isn't him. Last year was a difficult year and a sudden coaching change doesn't mean the team would have the same chemistry. If these were her recruits that she established a relationship with, I would consider what you're inferring but honestly I just don't think it's a fair assessment of McCray.
Her tenure at MSU is absolutely fair game for criticism. I realize you caveated your statement with “appeared optically”. However her resignation was completely due to the return of her cancer. Sadly she is very sick.
Respectfully the sole reason she resigned was due to the return of her cancer. In your first post that I responded to you said it “appeared optically” that she resigned at least partially due due to her failure. Now you are changing and bringing up some ominous statement about nondisclosures. Again her performance during her tenure is absolutely up for all debate and criticism. I think Coach Novak has done a much better job to date than she did last season in every aspect. However she was forced to step away due to her illness and only her illness. There is no hidden reason. I don’t how to be more clear on this.
Before retirement I owned a small defense contractor business, Non disclosure agreements were routinely signed by all our management and technical staff. The NDAs are an integral part of the hiring process. I do not see anything wrong or usual about the NDA signed by Nikki. However, I agree with Simple, the McCray hire was the worst hire Cohen has made while at MSST. McCray took a team of physical inside players and tried to convert them to a group of outside three point shooters, if Cohen did not realize that was her style then he failed in his due diligence. The obvious choice, given he could not hire an elite coach, was coach Johnnie, she was already a integral part of Vic’s staff, familiar with all the players, and would have kept the same style of play that worked so well under Vic. John Cohen did not do his job!
Nikki is gone. You got what you wanted. Why are you still on her case? If your program crumbled after one season then you did not have much of a program to begin with. Vic saw the handwriting on the wall and he left. You should blame him for your predicament not Nikki.
I actually did follow the women program and attended the games when I was in college in the 90s. However, it is much better now to follow them.
Pray for her and move on. please!
Probably not because those was his players and the system that he ran the players were recruited for it. Nikki wanted to do her own thing and I can't blame her for that. I would have liked to see how she would have done in year 2. However, she is no longer there and you can stop hating on her.
Pray for her and move one please
Big upset tomorrow, Auburn takes down LSU!
That would be a really bad loss if it were to happen.
