Chris Mooney – this is who he is

It’s a crime that schools like la salle have gone to the NCAA’s more recently than us.I still see it on his feed.
I think if the criticism in public keeps piling on, admin cant ignore it. We literally need just a couple high profile guys on TV to repeat the above post or something similar and the snowball rolls. Not sure anyone important cares enough though.I still see it on his feed.
If I recall, very little..he didn't address until after 530 and talked more about how well vcu played than about how poorly we played.
JOC tries to get Mooney to contrast individual achievements with some of the disappointments, and all he can come up with is the 2020 tournament getting canceled and the following season being "abnormal." Zero acknowledgment of any shortcomings in our performance. 1:40 mark...

He refuses to address anything along those lines, unlike most coaches imo. maybe at end of year but if so it would be as soft/weak as we often play. Tho in this case I can understand the answer based on how it was framed by JOC, u also have to ask that more directly if u want a better answer.
maybe this is just me, and I can never prove it, but I wonder if there is something to Mooney never wearing Spiders gear in these things. Also is he wearing a NIKE shirt in that press conference? Not positive but definitely looks like it. We have Adidas contract and the head coach of flagship sport is possibly wearing Nike. That's freaking weird.
Everyone and particularly mooney need to stop hyping up this class and how great they are. They haven’t done sh*t. Calling them the best class ever is an insult to the class of anderson, Harper, geriot, smith. Those guys actually accomplished something in their careers, this class couldn’t hold that groups jockstraps.
I just came here to say the same thing. Pathetic that the biggest disappointment to him is getting the tournament cancelled, and not the fact that we failed to capitalize for 2 years after that with almost the exact same team. Loser’s attitude still pouting about something from 2 years ago
It's definitely a Nike Swoosh. Unsurprising lack of self-awareness.
I wonder how Adidas would respond to seeing this video? Fine him, warn him, fine the University, warn the University, pull the sponsorship?
Maybe if anyone was awake in the RC, they would notice things like this.
It would be unfortunate if a bunch of people contacted adidas to show them the video… That would really be too bad. If it happened, I mean.
Amazing. Might be purposeful idk. Other times he seems to go out of his way to put on his Paul Bunyan shirts to cover up any Richmond athletic gear.
Regardless I don't think i've ever seen a sitting head coach do what Mooney just did, wear Nike when you have Adidas or vice versa.
Thursday must be Nike pullover day for Rainman. Now, must go sip some water from my little tiny sippy cup.
Maybe that’s how you behave when there are no consequences to your performance.
I think Mooney can wear just about anything at this point. His next press conference Mooney wears a t-shirt.
Could you imagine how many sippy cups of water he would drink in a day on that job?

For one week out of an eleven year span you were right about Mooney. By all means keep up with the victory lap, we all look forward to laughing when you go into exile at the first sign of trouble this coming season.
are you already planning to jump off the boat after a couple losses?
Happens every year. How many times was the "season over" after a loss last year? Look no farther than this thread. LOL. Same with the 24-7 year in 2020. How many times did we hear "we are done, season is over" then? Too many!
Hard to keep playing the victim card VT

I will be around no matter what happens. You might want to direct that line of questioning towards your little buddy that has already shown the predisposition to tuck tail and run.
The season was over from an at-large perspective. Only an improbable, unlikely run to the A10 title saved the season. While the run was fun and I am happy for the team, we were not close to the position we should have been in after the regular season. It was another underpreforming season until to the A10 tournament. This is hardly the formula needed to be a consistent participant in the NCAA Tournament. Save the victory laps until we see some consistent performance from the program year in and year out.
Every time '05 has started a late-season petition, we've made the NCAA tournament, so...
I just wonder what your expectations are? We aren’t Davidson, we aren’t Dayton, we aren’t VCU, we aren’t even Rhode Island. These are programs looked at as the cream of the crop when it comes to Mid Majors. It’s a tough league with bigger schools that attract higher recruits. No matter who the coach is for Richmond. It’s a tough gig
