Some people have floated the notion that Jeff [Redacted] is a "bridge" coach - brought in to clean things up and put us on another path. No more "majoring in pre-NBA" or March flame-outs due to speculated late night shenanigans ala before Cleveland St. (I don't know if those are true things, just citing common reasons for "culture change").
The "bridge theory" does fall square in-line with Ron's statement that "Jeff has done everything we've asked of him" which I think we've seen in several of the Journal interviews.
That said, what are your thoughts on the "bridge theory"? Both the premise itself and then Jeff [Redacted] as the "bridge" guy.
My personal opinion - I don't know all the behind the scenes. I felt like Dino wasn't the long term solution, but that is more from a pure coaching perspective. I think he did an adequate job given the circumstances and installed a very successful Pack-Line defense, but we lacked on the "O-ffensive" (RIP Majerus) side of the game considering our NBA-level talent. I thought a coaching change was needed. And then when we hired Bz...big head scratcher. Like "Wait, we hired WHO???? I've never even heard of this guy." Since then, I was Bz In, Bz Wait, and now Buzz Out - we need a new coach. I don't mind Jeff as a person, just not the guy I want at Wake.
