Message: [QUOTE="SwingDog, post: 2596740, member: 7919"] Great point. I have high respect for Kevin Ollie but from day one was uncertain if he was the right man for the job or not. But by leading the Huskies to a national title in 2014 he earned the [I][B]right[/B][/I] to prove himself. To me, because he was at a transition stage in the sense that he was still working with players recruited during Jim Calhoun's tenure, I felt the program wasn't yet fully his. However, I feel he owns 2015-present and overall it hasn't gone well and appears to be spiraling downward. I am not a KO hater at all. In fact, I wish he were able to succeed but based on overall performance I am just not convinced he will. His downtrodden appearance time after time at post game press conferences and the mantra "We just got to do a better job..." have long grown tired. Now it's to the point where, 29 games into the season you have Jalen Adans saying "We know what we've got to do going forward." Really?? 29 games into the season? And that gets to the heart of what's wrong. "We've just got to do a better job..." has become an excuse for poor performance. Injuries and transfers are no excuse for getting blown out of 8 games by 20 points or more and for being 13-16. At what point do you say, if you're David Benedict, "It's just not working out."? I don't know the answer but the clock is ticking and I'm sensing it may well be after this season concludes. [/QUOTE]
