It's actually pathetic.
He quits on George Mason after a final four for more money and better opportunities then bashes the players who helped him take Miami to a final four for leaving for money and better opportunities.
What a douche.
He stayed 5 more years after the final 4 run with George Mason....what are you on?

It’s generally not accepted for coaches or players to quit in the middle of a season. He probably should have thought about this over the offseason when half of his team was threatening to leave. I’m not sure why some are advocating for coaches or players to quit in the middle of the season because they don’t feel like doing their job anymore.
Everyone is welcome to their own opinion, I'd personally rather a coach just quit than be only halfway invested though.

You people will jump through every hoop imaginable to defend a tired, dusty coach quitting on his team mid-season.
Mack Brown would have done Texas a favor by stepping down midseason sometime after 2010.
The coach is literally telling you he can’t give it his all anymore, and you guys are equating player empowerment to forcing some guy to go through the motions. I wouldn’t want that guy coaching my kid, let some fiery assistant take over at that point.

I’m stumped by the faux outrage about this. If the coach is giving his all and they are 4-8, you’d want him fired. He’s half assing because he’s old and exhausted, and they want him to stay.

I mean I guess I get what you are saying. I'd personally rather a coach that is 75 years old and knows that he has a problem in the offseason, make that decision then. Not in the middle of the season. Just like I'd rather a 37 year old player that can't decide if he wants to keep playing or not, make the decision to retire in the offseason as well.

Obviously that would be preferable, but if you hit the wall and just can’t do it anymore, then what? I guess he could have “stepped away” for some undisclosed health reason, that being fatigue and exhaustion. Apparently that would have appeased a few folks on here. In that case, he would still be handing the coaching duties over to an assistant.

Idk. That's probably something to realize in the offseason. You can't complain about players not being bought in and then quit not even halfway through the season. I wonder how he would feel if all of those players that aren't bought in just decided they didn't want to play for the rest of the year.

I don't really understand who is being slighted by him quitting midseason?
You keep insinuating it somehow is "wrong", who's being wronged?

But those players aren’t ending their careers. I think coach is done altogether. If you want an apples to apples comparison, this would be like some guy in the NBA retiring midseason.
Plenty of pros think they can go one more year and then can’t.

We're not equating the coach and players quitting, we're comparing the degree of pathetic each act is.
Mack at least tried and failed, this guy isn't even bothering to put up the veneer anymore. It's just sad.

So…just to be clear. For your program, you’d rather the old guy continue to coach, knowing full well he can’t do the job full steam ahead anymore? The alternative is, an assistant takes over and you start looking for replacements immediately.

shite leadership.
Terrible look. Finish the season and retire unless it’s health related.

We can fire him if he's doing that bad of a job. I think it's more graceful to get fired mid-season than quit mid-season.
The marginal wins/losses here don't matter to me much.

Exhaustion can very well be health related

Maybe he needs to pull a Costanza and start dragging trophies around the stadium parking lot to TRY to get fired.

I don’t get it either.
College coaches are still teachers. This board loves to shite on teachers and cites laziness often. This teacher is 75 and telling you he’s done, but some on here think it’s some moral crusade to force the old guy to finish the season. That way he can mail it in and set an awesome example for the kids

The players who signed up to play for him? I really don’t understand who would be slighted if half the team decided to quit?

Define plenty. How often are professionals on an active roster retiring in the middle of the year?

He said he didn't feel like the players were buying into his message.
