If u were around for Nolans first couple of years, did u want him fired too for being a terrible team?

I'd like an honest answer and expect reasoning to why your opinion differs on Richardson and Anderson. Anderson has a better D1 resume than Nolan when Nolan took the job.

I addressed this in an earlier post. I was 18 years old in Nolan's first season. We had just lost a legend of a coach in Eddie. Nolan's first season while BEYOND bad, had glimpses of what he was trying to do. He did not have the PROPER personell to impliment his style. THAT was obvious. What was also obvious was this was a style that was new and exciting, something unseen in the SWC.

Now, flash forward to Pel. He wanted run the up tempo hawgball as well, so he recruited the correct kind of players for MA to come in and plug and play. Nolan did not have that luxury.

I beg to differ on their resumes. Nolan had won everywhere he had been. JUCO NC, NIT Champ, NCAA appearances. Everyone says but MA has an Elite 8. You know who else has an Elite 8 as a HC. Stan Heath, which is pretty much why we hired him. That and to give the appearance that Broyles wasn't racist.

This is not 1985. You didn't fire coaches after 1 season then, and you don't now. BUT, if you think I'm howling this year wait until we suck air again next year.
