We were down 16-2 to start. Thats an embarrassment itself at home and has happened numerous times this season already. Team comes out sleeping. Thats on Moondog and yes, we arent just complaining about this one game. We are complaining about 10 straight years of disappointment and ineptitude from a coach who never improves and is complacent with losing.
I’m not sure Hardt has said anything in the past two years except a brief announcement to bring back Huesman.
Takes them a while to wake up after the pre-game pep talk.
I suspect that Hardt is absent on purpose, reducing the chance that he has to talk about the dumpster fire that he is responsible for fueling. He certainly doesn't want to have to justify answers to the public.
JH makes KG looks like a innovator of his time in hindsight. Has the SBC humming while we try and PR our way out of another disappointing season.
1-3 is the embarrassment
Sure feels like the enemy of great is John Hardt …and I wouldn’t call him good enough 😂😂😂
I agree with this post. However, what’s embarrassing is Mooney continuing to play Wilson and doing nothing to try to change the tide of the season. I mean how can we keep playing the same starting 5? It’s infuriating the in-game management from never calling timeouts / making the right sub to never making offensive or defensive adjustments (I mean how many times can you allow Golden to unnecessarily assist on the perimeter on defense before changing something!)
Are you saying most coaches call a timeout when the opponent is making a run instead of when your team is? How very odd…
Well, he would have to be very critical of our current situation if he has publicly stated that championships and winning are the priority. If he is critical, then he would have to act to change things, which he soesnt have the balls or knowledge to do. If he comes out and says he thinks things are going fine, then all will know he is a disingenuos moron who cares nothing about success.
The reality is people like Hardt & Mooney get by but should be sent packing instead with a goodbye.
I think you may be right but I am sure he is paying attention. But I also think that is part of the problem, lack of contact with the average fan. All he has to do is give the fan a chance to voice his/her opinion say thank you we will consider your thoughts and a decision will be made at the end of the season. He could ask a few probing questions if he wanted. He's not good at building relationships.
I don’t quite understand how anyone gets to that level without being able to foster personal relationships, especially in a public/alumni-focused forum. It’s almost like one person he had a relationship with picked him for the job…
He went on the radio show a few years ago and took some of our calls. He didn't like the questions and slithered back to his office never to interact with the lowly fans again. Weak sauce.
I sent him an email during the Toledo game when we were getting waxed expressing the concensus opinion of the posters here. Three days later he emailed me a response thanking me for my interest and for being a long time season ticket holder in fb and bb. He said he was looking forward to the rest of the season and mentioned the thrilling come from behind victory over Toledo. So there you go.
This is pretty much what it's come to. Expectations for Hardt, BOT, any admin with responsibilities for sports are so low. I really don't expect anything from them other than continuation of the same. It's a safe course. Making real decisions is just too much of a challenge. Notice I didn't say hard decisions because at this point the body of work speaks loudly for change. This is not a second guessing decision or walking a fine line.
You play to win the game. Here at Richmond we accept losing. All for donations and empty seats.
