The Official Fire Chris Mooney Thread - 2018-2019 Edition

Projection has dropped to 10-21 (4-14). Ugh. There are a couple of toss-ups in there (including tomorrow) so hopefully we can improve on that.

I can't imagine only winning 3 more games not having a long-term deleterious effect on our program. Do it now.

10-21 is worse than I was thinking as recently as Tuesday, so that’s interesting.

We don’t seem like the kind of school that fires mid season but I have to think a change might breathe some kind of life back into the program.

I’m searching for an AED image...back shortly.

1-6 in conference play five straight home losses. Going at St.Louis next another Loss make it 1-7.....
 
Anyone ever heard Mooney take responsibility for not having his team ready. Slow starts, lack of rebounding, poor free throw shooting and lack of hustle?
 
We should beat LaSalle next Saturday.

Hardt will go on the air Tuesday, talk about our improved attendance and beer sales last night, say 20 games is far too early to evaluate and there's lots of basketball left.

We'll put up a good fight but lose at St. Louis, then win Saturday night. Won't hear from Hardt again until March.
 
Realistically though, wouldn't it make good sense to fire him now and then we put out to the nation the job is open, find out if any of the current assistants should be retained and get a head start on all that? What's the point of delaying it?
This is exactly my feeling too. Just do the damn thing now. Continuing on like this is pointless and absurd.

Agree, I was resigned to we should just wait it out until the end of the season, but a good February firing would be a super job ad for a month or two. IF we can hire the right guy, I am bullish on Spider hoops. I am sick and tired of the defeatist attitude with the program and some Mooney truthers. We can do a lot better if we get a good coach.
 
I have it on good authority that a huge PQ level donor has used his contact at major Corp to infuse their superbowl commercial with a #FMM hologram type of insert. Unfortunately it will not he viewable by naked eye in real time, but will be seen in stop footage. It will get a ton of play in the days after the superbowl. I cannot wait. Should air in the 3rd quarter.

Sometimes 23 you just have to laugh at how bad a situation has become.

there was a Super Bowl? oops, I must still be on vacation....
 
Will be home in time to watch our (home game) disrobing in front of a loud and smelly VCU crowd.

Moving forward if Mooney's team somehow beats VCU at home this season, matters little for me. To the Mooney backers forget that talk that UR at least beat those hated rivals. Mooney has lead the Spiders to 2 NCAA bids in 14 years. VCU coaching has lead VCU to 9 NCAA bids in 13 years and on course for another coach to get that 10th bid in year 14.

Obvious difference that hurts all UR alum especially the ones living through this in the Richmond area. Having Mooney gone is hopefully the initial step moving UR basketball on same level/above those guys.
 
Mooney OOC 14 year record
106-85 .555 winning%
VCU coaches OOC 14 year record
127-48 .726 winning%

Mooney's OOC SOS 14 year average ranking - #180
VCU OOC SOS 14 average ranking - #121

Yes, only another reason why Mooney must go. How long do fans want to be #2 in the city of Richmond? No guarantee UR will be #1 with a new coach, but staying #2 is guaranteed if Mooney remains as coach.
