Please, dear God fire Mooney. If for no other reason than he's VCU'S bitch.

Spin the wheel of excuses:
"COVID pauses are really tough to manage"
"VCU has a much more friendly admissions department"
"We got no favors from the referees"
"We are fine. We really did not need to win this game. We are still Ken Pomming in the 50's or 60's"

MBBall in big trouble next year and for a number of years.WBBall looks very promising with some recent excellent recruiting.
Don't worry the same result happens year after year. Yet the future is somehow brighter? Its like you never smell the coffee and never wake up?
I think I finally figured out the future is bright line of thinking. It’s like on a cloudy day when you go to the movies, and then come outside and it seems bright because you were sitting in the dark for hours. That’s us...we’ve dimmed the present so much that the future looks bright. Well done Mooney.
I heard tonight on the radio basically "the game tempo fits Richmond perfectly". "Only a five point difference". Our legs give out toward the end. Finally result 12 point loss.
I would be ok with our best player, expected to come back, leaving and all our incoming recruits de-committing if it meant Mooney was gone. No disrespect to any of those guys because they are potentially great players and kids for our program and I know it would mean a much harder rebuild. But at this point, it’s anything to start over. We could play an entire roster of walk-ons next season, if it meant we found the right coach.
Takes a special kind of ability to be able to coach a team with as much talent as this one to a middle of the pack finish.
Agree completely. Need a new coach and a new culture. And take Jabba with you on the way out.
Completely agree. It’s just what has to happen. This doesn’t have to be an ugly divorce either. It’s just time for both sides to move on.
That’s a hell of a season against one’s crosstown rival and still have the job. Amazing! There is no way our athletic department cares about competing for championships if this is allowed to continue past this season.
The two year window thing has to come into play here. This class having 2 years left together was THE reason Mooney kept his job after 2019. If UR goes two years with nothing to show then Mooney has to be gone. If he can’t get it done with the self proclaimed “best class ever” than he’s never gonna get it done. I still can’t get over how disrespectful the “best class ever” thing is to the KA and Harper senior class. They are literally THE reason he still has a job.
I know VT4700 is on hiatus, and he was likely only parroting Mooney's words on how many games we'll get in. But I tried to warn him. Just another reason why the lack of urgency we've shown is difficult to take. It was just a massive miscalculation to expect 16 or 17 games. Sort of like the extension was a massive miscalculation. Neither is hindsight.
Never count on a big win. It just never happens. So annoying.
First place is an A10 Championship.
Second place is a set of steak knives.
Third place is you're fired!

"So while the Spiders’ near future is a bit uncertain, Mooney knows he has a good team. And the next billboard that goes up in Richmond might say simply, “Sorry, Coach.” From: Richmond’s upset of Kentucky was two years — and one billboard — in the making (msn.com)
Still can't get over the reporters writing Mooney's victory tour.
The season is a failure. That's it. A complete failure.
Just curious bur has Mooney ever heard of trying a zone out? It would have been the defense to run against SLU instead of giving up 40+ inside. I will never forget the GW game in 2014 which was when I knew Mooney had to go. UR got crushed that night inside in a game that had a chance to help get UR in as an at large team. My dad and I were screaming at Mooney the whole time to try out a 2-3 zone but he never changed up his defense and UR lost. Didn’t think this would still be an issue 7 years later...
He really is as incompetent a coach as I have ever seen. To watch them get layups and dunks at will and not DO ANYTHING to try to stop it is complete incompetence. Im sorry but the guy truly is a disaster and should be embarrassed.

seriously what was the impetus behind those articles? some PR bullshit move from the AD?

Mooney thought the defense played well in the second half per his post game comments. Lol. We must lead the league in uncontested layups and dunks. He's in total denial.
