So for the give him one more year crowd does anyone actually think there will be enough improvement to keep DM? I just can't believe anyone really thinks there will be meaningful improvement. Could someone please chime in. Why another year? Just because? Please enlighten me.
No, I don't and I don't support it, I'm just saying that is what's going to happen whether we like it or not. I do think there will be enough improvement in Ronnie boy's eyes to keep him, but how hard will it be to improve on this year? Shouldn't be too hard.

Rapid turnover in coaches is another contributor to mediocrity or worse.
Sometimes I think some of our fans have the mindset that it's cool our coach is Danny Manning and give him enough time he'll do alright. Heck, at first I was guilty of thinking, hey Danny freaking Manning is our coach, cool! I mean wouldn't be great if he was successful here? How great a face is Danny Manning for a program. However, we're 4 years in and it's not any better than [Redacted]. Yeah, yeah we made the play in round of the NCAA tournament when we had the best player we've had since at least Aminu or maybe even CPIII, big deal. People turned on Bzzz really quickly because he was a no name and an a-hole, terrible face of the program. However, if you look at Danny's very short resume and lack of head coaching experience and now the results 4 years in, he was no better a hire than Bzzz was. It was just with Danny, 1) he was replacing someone as hated as Trump is by the left except we were all the left when it came to Bzzz, and 2) he is Danny freaking Manning and it was cool having a college legend coaching our team. Take the emotion out of it and Danny is Bzzzz v.2 through 4 years at least.
It just shows the benefits of not being an asshole. People are far more patient with you and want you to succeed.
Do we really want Ron Wellman hiring another basketball coach though?
I've been trying to give DM the benefit of doubt, it's getting harder. IMHO if he doesn't win at least 20 games , including at least half of his conf. games next year; he should be gone. Maybe the boosters should threaten to end donations until he is gone.
