And you actually are one of the more balanced fans, probably even lean a little bit optimistic … I thank you for the post because I see things exactly as you do. I think it’s obvious. And when I see counters that aren’t close to what I think is obvious, I think agenda of some sort, even the kumbaya krew has to see the myriad of flaws with not a single strong positive.
I never thought we could do worse than Menzies. Otz was similar but he was disinterested and a known short timer, so I didn’t like his teams either, but I don’t think he was as bad as Menzies. Let’s remember, Menzies was at the bottom of the D list for UNLV and he got the job because he was last man standing. Not a soul in the fanbase or even admin wanted him at all - but what they wanted even less was the continued embarrassment of the botched mid season firing/messy hiring process.
Not his first team, that was a mess. And even though I didn’t like his next two teams, they were a little better, a little worse than KK’s …. But that we are comparing current to the potential worst ever … splitting hairs doesn’t matter, that there is any viable comparison is more than enough.
I don’t want KK to lose but understand what you’re saying … anytime we have a bad setback, we don’t recover. Switching coaches all the time just doesn’t work except for USU. I’d rather Kevin “gets it” and we move forward in the right direction, but my confidence level of that is zero. And your first inkling is offseason transfers/recruiting. If you’re going to battle NMSU/Irvine and Northridge for players, it’s going to be more the same. You need talent, one trick pony players need to be your 8-11 guys, not 2-5.
Thanks for the post.
