Until the University is ready to get rid of the actual problem, Vowels, there is no righting of this ship. Only a desperate coach would take a HC job under an AD that isn't adroit enough to know that he is destroying a program when he doesn't let his leaders lead and doesn't make his followers follow. We are no better off today than we were yesterday and this problem will not be resolved until Vowels is not in charge. No vendetta, just experience and a quality Jesuit business education speaking.
The program is just a glorified AAU team being run by two overly involved Fathers. They can't have a team vision because they only see their own children and want to live surreptitiously through their children's potential future careers. This team and program is doomed until we only have coaches coaching, players playing and parents cheering. Mixing the roles is a recipe for disaster and we have tasted this for long enough. Neither of these boys is Danny Manning. Putting their Fathers on the bench is not adding to the program, only destroying the motivation of the other players. Wipe the slate clean or continue to eat from the platter of nepotism.
I have been a die hard Titan fan for 52 years. God willing, I will be one for 70. I don't care who the coach is and I don't care who the players are. All I can promise is that when we next go to the NCAA tournament, my bracket will have the Titans winning it all!
Amen. I do not have a business degree but I see the same thing you see every time I entered the gym this year. I don’t know how many more times I can go to watch this show.
