Just to hear his explanation why. How could it be? I mean, the last 5 years, you know, minus a couple

He's 7 levels deep in the MoonBunker, hasn't seen the sunlight in months.
4700 is a wonderful contributor to this forum and I have always enjoyed his posts and perspectives. I hope he comes back to regularly posting here again soon.
I enjoyed reading the different viewpoint.
Oh yes , so insightful why Chris Mooney should continue to lead our program
So I largely disagree with his view of URBB but it doesnt seem necessary to single him (or anyone) out.
Hard to argue that we don’t suck this year, no matter what side of the CM fence you’re on.

The longest loosing streak in Mooney’ s tenure. I can’t help but feel sorry for him.
not longest yet, I believe he lost 8 in a row earlier

The word you're looking for is incompetence.
Feeling sorry for a coach we are paying millions to. Now that’s funny!
You’ra one of those people that kicks someone while they’re down. Symbolized my your profile avatar.

You’ve mentioned my avatar more times than we’ve won a damn game this season, how do you like that?
5-15! Not great, Bob!
I look for others to support it. Funny, most people on this board have too much class to support
it.
I’d support it. I would have supported it the first time. Funny, it shouldn’t even be necessary based on the results.
My theory on the killing of the spider club was to prevent alums from connecting and having a greater voice. Give money blindly and just shut up. The powers would probably like to shut down this site.
I don’t believe it’s even an issue about “class”. It may be the only way to publicly express an opinion that gets the powers attention.
At least we hire coaches who have a history of winning or being part of a winning program.
Mooney had a very short history and should never have been hired in the first place. The other
coaches I was referring to are Huesman, Roussell and Chemotti..

I count that as 2-18 after a 3-0 start. And an 8 game streak the season before.
Wasn’t 2018 3-13 to start?
You may have a good point, but you know as well as I do that even if this site was shut down it would open
up on X or Facebook, or somewhere. People have every right to voice their opinions, positive or negative.
Mooney is a very smart man and fully knows the situation; but kicking him while he’s down, or any coach with
a miserable situation, with a childish, taunting billboard that even got ridiculed by ESPN , shows a person of no class.
Are we still litigating the billboard? Jesus please.
There’s a total trainwreck with the program right now, it’s worthy of complaint.
Well, there are not that many opportunities to kick him while he is up, are there?

Mooney Billboard Derangement Syndrome (MBDS)
So now it’s evolved to making CM a martyr? Got it. Jeez - it’s his program, his hires, his recruits, his offensive, defense, lack of rebounding, substitutions, game mgmt, etc.
Real fans stick through the good and the bad. As soon as the season went south, 4700, UR80's, and the other Mooney bros disappeared.
You’re right.
But the man has worked hard, Taken us further than most A-10 programs so we should post
billboards? (I’m saying most, not all) . And to basically realize that his days are numbered, it doesn’t hurt to at least be respectable. No one is making him out as a martyr. That’s ridiculous.
What’s not ridiculous is the lack of solutions on this site.
Will say it is the same pattern with the Mooney above program guys. They go on smear campaigns and make up narratives to try to degrade our prior coaches and pound their chests on the rare NCAA (or even 1st place ties) appearances. But when the going gets tough, they are back to following mooneys long game strategy.
These are all the A10 teams who have had as many or more ncaa berths than CM during his tenure:
Temple (5)
Xavier (7)
VCU (9)
Dayton (6)
St. Louis (4)
GW (3)
St. Bonaventure (3)
St. Joseph’s (3)
Davidson (3)
LaSalle, Rhody, UMass, and even Duquesne have all gone at least once.
He’s not killing it, not sure why you think he is.
agreed he's not killing it ... but you're pointing out that only 3 current A10 teams have been to more ncaa's. that's not the crushing stat I was expecting.
I'm more concerned with just how bad we currently are, and that our top 2 players are done after this season.
in a nutshell, it is time for a change in coaching of Men's Basketball. If VCU can change coaches
multiple times within Mooney's tenure and still be successful a high percentage of time, then UR
should be winning consistently with a seasoned experienced coach. But it is far from happening.

Exactly, continuity should be a huge advantage but we make it into a disadvantage somehow.
What? There are plenty of solution on this message board and I didn't realize it was part of the responsibility of message board posteres to come up with them. That is the job of the coaching staff and they are the ones with a "ridiculous" lack of them?
Also, we are not paying Mooney to work hard, we are paying him to win basketball games. He should be working 20 hour days to get this fixed right now, somehow I doubt that is happening. The man is way past comfortable and that is a huge problem.
The vcu game would have been a perfect opportunity to try something completely new. vcu knew exactly what we were going to do because it's what we always do, only now we have less-talented players. A good coach, or even one with a pulse, would have mixed things up to see how the element of surprise might work. Run Walz, Beagle and Soulis in there together with GW and Tyne. Crash hard for offensive rebounds. Get some of those lanky vcu forwards in foul trouble. Etc. Worst case: We lose by 41.
