HELP!
JHC.....Let's get thru this year, hopefully finish strong and then have faith in Mac to figure it out. He has earned it. Do you realize how many fan bases would kill to have what we have?
I do trust Mac. He completely changed his style with Doug and the Let it Fly style was fun and Kalk has been a part of the best run in program history. I’m very thankful. I’m also hoping we can take a step forward. Kalk is gone regardless. The year after McBuckets was horrible and made Mac look like he had no plan or idea going forward. But he fixed it. He adapted.
This year is not over but without a strong supporting cast Kalks senior season has been a letdown, just like Doug’s (no championship and first weekend exit). I don’t see us winning in MSG and I don’t see us making the second weekend.
This off-season will be his most important in many many years. Mac’s getting older but will have to figure out if his assistants are getting us the studs we need and who we can get and retain to get us to the final four. We’ve had a lot of great assistants come and go. It would be nice to have a great assistant who retires with Mac the way Altman has with McKenna at Oregon.
Regardless, our playing style is not fun to watch. We looked like total pussies yesterday. We had a great chance to win the big East but starting with the second UCONN game we’ve been soft serve vanilla and Mac seems completely fine with it. That’s very concerning.
Does Mac even want a Final Four? His comments at BE media day seems to say no.
At Creighton Bob Gibson majored in sociology and starred in Basketball and Baseball. In 1957 Gibson received a $3,000 sign-on bonus with St. Louis Cardinals, but delayed his HOF Cards career a year to play pro B-ball with the Harlem Globetrotters.
