For me no. We are on a treadmill going nowhere fast. The tirades at players during games is over the top. Tome to move on.

Is it about the wins or his approach? Or would you forgive the approach if we had beaten vcu? His players seem to love him. How many former players did you count in the stands yesterday?

It isn't just one game. I would say it was time for a change even if we had beaten VCU. Let's be honest, this is not a good VCU team that we just lost to.

This program is used to going to the NCAA's every 3 to 4 years. We are used to owning JMU, ECU, Marshall, and at least being on par with VCU and expecting to beat them at home. We should always be hovering around the top 100 with an occasional trip to the Top 50 programs. None of that is happening.

It's not just last night's loss, or any particular loss. It's 9 years of a steady decline and watching other programs pass us by. It's 9 years of a coach that amazingly cannot find one single player who can make a 3 point shot. It's 9 years where we only made one NCAA Tournament by the skin of our teeth, and that was a less than stellar performance as a 15 seed.

And this has the makings of our worst season since the 5 win debacle. We're sitting at 5 wins including one over a D3 school, a buzzer beater over Longwood at home, and a road win over a team that has zero D1 wins. And we haven't played any good teams yet.

WKU, Marshall, UNT, and UAB are going to curbstomp us sometime awful.

The program is headed in the wrong direction and has been for a while. There are no signs of improvement anytime soon? (Did we sign anyone in the early period? I can't recall.)

Seriously, can you give me a reason why we shouldn't make a change? If so, we owe Jeff Capel an apology.

Do I have you on tilt 35? I stopped reading after you wrote we have made the dance as often as you noted. Please do the math for me.
