I invested in gold years ago (right around the time a certain someone was elected for the first time). Best decision I've EVER made.

Back on topic... fire Blaine Taylor

Sure didn't. Speaking of men's soccer, three monarchs were taken in the MLS draft (giving ODU seven Monarchs in the MLS):

Jordan LeBlanc was the selected in the second round (27th overall pick) by the Montreal Impact.

Alex DeJohn was selected in the third round (42nd overall pick) by New England Revolution

Yannick Smith was picked in the fourth round (75th overall) by Houston Dynamo.

Good job and good luck, Monarchs!
When will the "Fire Alan Dawson" thread begin. It seems we can't get past the second round of the NCAAT. And can't get our share of conference titles either. Time for new blood.

When more than 3 people care about soccer...or he shows up drunk to a public job related function.
Dawson's Monarchs reached the second round of the NCAA College Cup eight of the last 11 years. In 2006 and 2007 ODU advanced to the third round (Sweet 16). But we have had some trouble winning the CAA's. BT might be right, it's time to fire Dawson. You know all Irishmen drink, so there you go.

The final nail in Blaine Taylor's coffin ladies and gentleman!!!!

Bob molinaro thinks he should get time to rebuild the program! You know, the complete f.cking moron who's never been right about anything........EVER!!

The guy who said we wouldn't win a single game in the CAA in football. The complete clown who has never got a single thing correct before (which is almost a statistical impossibility when you write about sports for 30+ years) is telling us all Blaine only needs a little more time.

If this doesn't convince the Blaine supporters he needs to go, nothing will. Molinaro supporting you is pretty much proof positive that the exact opposite needs to happen.

Please make sure and comment on that "article" and tell him what a complete idiot he is.

The stupidest thing about the entire article is that he pretty much parrots ever single thing myself and a few of the other "Blaine must go" fans have said about him, almost word for word in fact, but then he somehow, someway pulls that "Blaine deserves the chance to right the ship" out of that.

Not a single shred of factual evidence is provided as to WHY. I mean literally..... Nothing! He just makes up his own conclusion to the article with no supporting argument whatsoever.

The funniest part about the whole thing is this line at the end:

Quote:There's no way to adequately turn around or explain away a season as disappointing as this one. But as hard as it is for loyal fans at the Constant Center to watch the Monarchs play, a peek at next season might be even more troubling.

Wait what???? This year is awful, next year will be worse, he states earlier in the article that there is "no help on the horizon" and that it is the result of "two to three years of bad recruiting" and then he somehow managed to miraculously come up with the idea that Blaine deserves a chance???

This is exactly the reason why NO ONE respects bob molinaro. He uses nothing factual whatsoever, I mean not even a single shred of data, to support his argument.

Pathetic. The worst part is he said basically everything we've been saying but somehow thought that "no help on the horizon" for a team that is 2-17 and a coach who's won one NCAA tourney game in 18 years somehow warrants the time it will take to rebuild this program (which is 3 years at a BARE minimum!)??? It's amazing how stupid that article is, even for Bob "odu won't win a game in the Caa" molinaro.

Looks like blaine is literally calling in every single favor he can to save his job.

Between the ridiculous, factually incorrect articles in the pilot and daily press (sorry, we haven't played a tougher ooc schedule dunces and sorry, conference switching has nothing to do with our 0-7 record in the Caa, we'd be 0-7 and 2-17 even if we'd stayed in the Caa) and now bob molinaro writing an article where he bashes Blaine and the team, Blaine's recruiting, our ugly style of basketball, our fans not showing up, the students completely abandoning the program and then says there is little help on the horizon and next year could be worse...........but then somehow arrives at the conclusion Blaine should stay........

I think it's pretty clear Blaine is calling in every single favor he is possibly owed to try and save his job. I can almost hear a drunk Blaine Taylor calling bob molinaro and and daily press and begging them to write something positive at the exact same time (all three articles were written in a week or so's time), possibly even getting to the point where he quotes menace to society "I've got these cheeseburgers man......."

I've really had it with the va pilot. They have flat out lied about our ooc schedule being tougher and now they are cheer leading for Blaine to keep his job. Utterly ridiculous.
Our local media is pathetic

Molinaro is a columnist. It's his job to inject his opinion into his writing, often heavily. He doesn't need anything factual as long as he doesn't deliberately lie. If he feels BT gets another shot, that's his choice. Almost all of us, however, disagree.

Oh I agree. He's paid for his opinion, I wasn't disputing that, I was just pointing out how utterly worthless and stupid his opinion is.

The weirdest part is he literally bashed Blaine, the team, odu fans and Blaine's recruiting throughout the entire article and then did a complete 180 and said Blaine should keep his job.

Quite frankly, that article wreaks of molinaro being forced to write it. No one writes a piece defending someone's job and then spends the entire article destroying them. I mean really, that makes ZERO sense.

I think Blaine asked him to write an article defending his job since he's been a fantastic "press coach" his entire career, always friendly, engaging, talkative and great for quotes. And so bob did write the article, begrudgingly so, and he decided to spend the entire article saying how awful this season is and how dim the future looks and how bad the recruiting is and then he just throws Taylor the "he should keep his job" bone at the end of the article.

It is literally the only scenario that makes any sense at all for that article being written the way it is along with the bold face lies written in the pilot and daily press about our ooc schedule being tougher, the transition being responsible for our struggles etc.

Blaine is finally putting on the full court press we've always wanted him too!!! It's just that he's full court pressing the media he has always been so great too in order to save his job! Sad stuff all the way around.
Anybody who says the transition is the reason for our struggles (an awfully kind word, BTW) is delusional. Here's a conversation that'll never take place:

BT: "Hey, [recruit]. We're moving up to C-USA and will no longer be a mid-major!"

Recruit: "Now that you put it that way, I don't wanna come here. I was interested when you guys were in the CAA, but now that you're not playing GSU, W&M, and JMU twice a year I'm no longer interested."

Fantastic. And absolutely. 100% correct. The excuse making is right out of hand. (British voice)
Makes you wonder now if the plunge into Lake Como (Italy) wasn't caused by a few sips of vino???
For the record, I've literally been private messaged by 7-8 different people, some that you would never even guess would admit something like this, that they have personally seen Blaine Taylor drunk around town or even at school functions. They didn't want it public so I won't tell their stories or there names, but just know that its clearly not made up and the man absolutely has a problem.

Not to mention that we signed Nick Wright and Anton Larsen long before we decided to move to CUSA.
Blaine needs to go. With the players that we currently have on our roster and their specific skills, there is no way over the next 3-4 years that we will have a half decent team in the Blaine Taylor system. Blaine runs a tough team who's goal it is to pound it inside and let a skilled big man do work while hitting the timely jumper, and crashing the boards for solid second chance point. WE DONT HAVE THOSE PLAYERS. Blaine is inflexible in his coaching style, and has absolutely zero style when it comes to skilled guards. Our players are skill players that need the floor to be opened up and the pace to be picked up! They absolutely have the talent, they just don't have the system or guidance. Batten, Clark, and Bacote are solid wing players who will only improve under the right tutelage. Palmore could be an absolute stud at the PG position as a drive a dish kinda guy. If we want to have a winning season at all under these really good recruits, we CAN NOT run the Blaine Taylor system.

Agreed on all counts. Baze is really the only wing I can think of that has fully excelled in the six or seven years that I've been following ODU. I don't trust Blaine to develop our young guards and this year is more than enough justification to feel that way. Batten has Marsharee Neely written all over him if Blaine sticks around.
When was the last time you ever saw a player become a better shooter during the BT regime? Baze, I guess...and maybe James, but that's about all I can think of. I can think of plenty that have gotten worse.

You guys see Ross may have a bad wheel, that leaves BT with about 6-7 players worth their schoolie.
