The biggest thing i fear if they get rid of Jimmy is them finding another semi-competent coach. That on top of the money they would have to eat to get rid of him would set us back even further.
Do we know who was behind hiring Fran? Was that JD's guy or someone else's.

For the health of everyone on here and all the old timer season ticket holders, if he's fired the stress levels and heart health will most likely go back to healthy levels. That's my justification for praying to God he's fired Tuesday is that wrong? As long as the prayer is followed by JP landing on his feet as well. Godspeed to the Siena program and JP, may their separate journies be sucessful.

Now if they follow that up with a Nathan davis hire, now we have something. Of course they might have got him a lot cheaper had they done that two years ago when I first brought him up but this is where we are at now.

Self correction - Michigan is a Nike school. Who the heck is “siena22”? That 22 caught my eye, and for a second I thought I had posted the comment. Weird feeling. 😇

I've heard McNamaras name mentioned from people in the 315. He might make sense at this point. If so (and I hope not), only s matter of time before Saints get suspended by the NCAA, because that’s the modus operandi where he’s coming from.

Do we know who was behind hiring Fran? Was that JD's guy or someone else's. It was a committee compromised of trustees, boosters, and administration personnel. A friend of mine was one of them. I remember him saying his gut told him Fran was the one right after he interviewed him.

A lessons learned discussion needs to be conducted looking at such topics as past hiring practices, contracts, culture, leadership and direction of the athletic programs. There are many excellent candidates out there, this decision can not be botched.

If and when we get a new coach I just hope we hire a professional firm to do the search and make the recommendations...

I remember him saying his gut told him Fran was the one right after he interviewed him. I would guess Fran interviewed VERY well. Fran was outstanding during the interview process. I know that, after he left the interview in which I participated, several of us just looked at each other and smiled. You’ve all seen him respond to questions. There is no uncertainty. He gives complete, thoughtful and in-depth answers. I asked him three questions during the session I was in (there were about a dozen people at that interview, most asking questions, and there were a number of interviews with different groups over a couple of days). About three years after he was hired here, we were talking about the interview process he and some other candidates went through here. He told me the three questions I had asked him, and told me the answers he gave me. I couldn’t believe it.

Sounds like the process utilized to select Fran wasn’t followed for either the Mitch or Patsos hirings. Both seemed to be predetermined. I don’t think the Patsos interviews were anything but a formality. Correct me if I’m wrong.

Actually I agree with you...but do the Fran process after you get the list of names
