Maybe we should hire Mike Rhoades. Has he been listed as an option?

There are people on this board that were obsessed with him. Had we hired him, we would be worse right now. These are the same people calling for JJ's job and saying they could do a better job selecting a head coach than the AD can. Just stop...you lost all of your credibility by wanting Rhoades.

True, Rhoades has not proven to be a very good head coach. And yes, I wrongly would have preferred hiring him to JJ. JJ and Felton were the safe choices.

Thanks for the offer fellas! I’m probably just going to do the blue room tonight as time is at a premium. Thanks again!

You are getting a little ahead of yourself. Wade left things in shambles.

An NCAA tourney team that was picked 2nd in the conference and returned:

One of the best players in the conference- Tillman
A top 50 recruit-Jenkins.

plus a number of 3 star recruits. Their starting lineup includes 3 seniors. Big underachievers this year.

Also, lost their entire recruiting class, and it was pretty easy to see that Wade had them heading in this direction last year. He destroyed the culture and Rhoades is left holding the bag. Maybe he won't be able to get it turned back around, but he definitely doesn't deserve all the credit for this year's trouble. Hell, you are still blaming a coach from 5 years ago, that is so long ago that most current students at ODU don't even know who he is.

They had four, 3 star recruits come in. Funny that Wade destroyed the culture, but had them in the NCAA tourney with 25+ wins, but Rhoades is barely .500 (i guess with great culture?) I blame Blaine for what happened 3-5 years ago....I know you reading comprehension isn't that bad, right?

Now you are putting words in my mouth. I specifically said Rhoades may not be able to turn it around, and nothing about him doing anything great. My only point is that it is a bit early to judge him, something you have been saying about our coach for half a decade.

Staunch VCU fan, a guy who travels to many of their games, said just yesterday that VCU plays everyone tough for about 38 minutes, has late-game leads then "Rhoades gets out-coached down the stretch every time. His coaching has been a big disappointment."

In any case, the Ramnation boards are a hoot.

Come to think of it, they kind of resemble these boards since Saturday Night (minus the need to Lysol afterwards).

He might eventually figure it out for sure. But, right now, he couldn't win in the CUSA with 2 first team all CUSA players (including a guy that performed in the SEC) and now is .500 in the A-10.

No see the way itworks against us is that it's "x player had a career night against us" or "they'll never shoot the 3 like this again this season" etc etc, out coached? Naaa

Look for ODU gear. The code phrase is "the dress is in the bag."

LOL. I will wear a team Rhombus shirt.

The same folks like to **** all over Stansbury who has also out coached our coach twice in two tries.

Don't forget this oldie but goodie:

"Its the players' fault. The coach isn't responsible for them making plays."
