Yes, the Jeff [Redacted] hire didn’t quite pan out that well. FWIW he’s a prior NBA Coach and has resumed that career path since. Who knew that it wouldn’t translate as well at the College Basketball level.
I’m not going to start the Dino stuff again. Mr Wellman did what he had to. Those who know, know. And that’s all there is to it.
Troll gonna troll.
Ron Wellman is only part of the problem. Nathan Hatch is also part of the problem. Neither are the real problem.
The real problem is you and the other Deacs that not only tolerate mediocrity but encourage those who have destroyed the program, razed it to the ground, and then salted the fields.
This problem only exists because there are enough people that matter who are okay with it.
Yup.
Fuck off back to your sunshine circle jerk on Facebook, Chris. You are the problem. Blindly tolerating the bullshit the AD feeds doesn’t make you a better or “real” fan. It makes you a pathetic sycophant.

PM Please
He knows nothing. There is someone on this thread you should pay attention to other than me.
Figure it out.

Who knew? Everyone. Literally everyone knew, everyone except Mr. Wellman, apparently. I knew it. As soon as I saw the name and spent 5 minutes researching who the hell he was and what he had done. I knew immediately that it was a terrible hire and would end terribly. I supported the team and hoped against hope that it would work out - but it was immediately obvious to everyone that it was a terrible hire. Anyone who didn't know upon reading the name, was surely convinced after seeing and hearing Jeff's performance at the announcement press conference.
He also took over a struggling Denver Nuggets team mid-season and took them to the playoffs.
He had flashes of NCAA success at Air Force. Afterwards, it seemed to be downhill in college b-ball. I’m not here to debate the obvious poor performance he had here, but the AD obviously saw something in his background that he thought would translate to success here.

I really hope you are a troll. His only success at AF was with someone else's players. His time at Colorado was a disaster and they were relieved we took him off their hands. No one knows what our AD saw - just that he was the only one who saw it. As has been explained and explored ad nauseum here, worse even than the hire was the way our AD treated us as he kept the disaster around years after it was blatantly obvious that he was not the answer. He patronized us and lied to us and acted like everything was going great ("Oh heaven's yes"). It was unprofessional and disingenuous.
Even if we give Wellman credit for the excellent performance of some of our lesser sports, and for facilities, and for Clawson - it is all counter-balanced and more by what has been done to the basketball program.
'I'm sorry' would have been a good start.He’s the Athletic Director. You can’t possibly expect him to turn around address every childish concern and outburst that some people will display in public. The AD and head coach was harassed daily in games (by our own fans), pestered repeatedly on phone calls and emails (I feel bad for the secretary), deal with silly newspaper ads and billboards, etc. etc. etc.
He’s not an idiot. He knew that folks were upset about the trajectory of our basketball program. But what did you expect him to say at the time? “By jove, you’re right Dan. [Redacted] is truly an abysmal coach. I shall fire him right now in the middle of the season”
There’s a time and place for everything.
