Maybe he will hire Mooney as an assistant.

Dan is one of my favorite Spiders, especially after coming back from a devastating injury.

Gotta give credit to Mooney with so many former players moving up the coaching ranks. If only his teaching abilities translated to being a better sideline coach.

How is it possible that the coach who is slowest to adapt or try new things has spawned the two faces of cutting edge college coaching?

They both needed re-training

Sometimes you learn what does not work.

Geriot one of my all time favorites as well. Always said he played slower than he appeared and he used that to his advantage (cause no one would think of Geriot as quick). Remember one game against St. Bonnie and Nicholson was eating him up and Geriot very subtly hit him in the nut sack and that was the end of the that.

Geriot was a gamer. Tore his ACL and played with big brace on his knee his senior season I believe. Confident player and it translated to results. Even without the athleticism, I think he would have been in for super season if did not tear his ACL. Will be really interesting to follow at Iona, may have to check out a game or two next season.

Odom to UVA official. Now we get to enjoy watching vcu disintegrate for a few weeks.

 

[Dr. Spidey]

VCU will hire another winner, unlike us.

 

[UR79&Peanuts]

UVA has a history of poaching coaches when they are in the heat of a playoff run with their current team😩😡

VCU will hire another winner, unlike us.

Most likely, but for now, let’s just watch it burn and enjoy!

They’ll hire another coach, restock players, and continue to dominate CM at a 75 pct clip. Nothing new here as the 20 year pattern continues.

Which players will he take with him?

How about Jennings?

How about Jennings?

VCU will probably have 12 new players next year.

 

[PASpider]

VCU will probably have 12 new players next year.

And all of them will be better than ours.

Somehow they’ll find Joe Basimile another year of eligibility.

When was the last time VCU got a coaching hire wrong? We’ve stuck with our guy for 20 years in case his replacement wins less than 55% of games, while VCU hires coach after coach who wins the Atlantic 10.

I hope they hire Darius Theus like most of their fans want them to do. He’s never been a head coach. That’s how they’ll get it wrong. Hiring the former star player at his alma mater also pretty much never works.

Ask GMU how they like it?
