The guy is trying to act above it all and that all sportsmanship is gone from the game when 30-40 years ago he would have been ridiculed and blackballed for doing this mid season.
Listen, people have their own reasons for doing stuff and it’s fine.
Just don’t try to do that right before conference play and then try to act like the arbiter of sportsmanship
I didn't see where he said anything about "sportsmanship", he just said the system is broken and he's exhausted.

The portal has been there since 2018. Free transfers since 2021 same with NIL.
This wasn’t instituted at the end of the fall semester. Nor was it even a rule change prior to this season
hell one of his best players on that final four team Charlie Moore was a transfer. Multiple players on that team were transfers in.

He didn't do that man. That's why he's catching shite. He handled it like an a-hole.
He handled like a guy who isn't going to speak some company line. He handled like a guy who isn't going to bend the knee because that's what some fans expect. He handled it like a guy who tells it like it is. I respect that.
And it doesn't seem like he's catching much shite with the exception of a small percentage of people.

I know. And things are getting wilder each season. CFB in 2024 isn't nearly the same as it was even two years ago. You didn't have kids fetching $12 mil. out of high school.

Sure, in a vacuum that is how he handled it. He doesn't exist in a vaccum, though.

Number 1 this is CBB not CFB.
Number 2 it was A-OK when Jim was using it to poach kids off other rosters to make his final four. Yet when turnabout happens he takes his ball and goes home.

The only honorable choice he had was to fulfill his obligations he committed to in August.
and FWIW, his contract was running through 2026-27. Are you suggesting that quitting anytime before then is a dick move?

How's it hypocritical?

The rules of NIL and the portal apply to both.

Well, when you are 75 years old and have taken the program to new heights, maybe it's best for the program if he steps down. For all we know, that may have happened.

Banks and Papa have it out for this guy for some weird reason. If a player did this, they would celebrate it as he would be trying to maximize his earning potential. mUh MaRkEt VaLuE, if you will.

Of course not. It would have been proper as a college coach to just finish the year and retire.
Most college coaches are on multi-year deals so it is very normal for them to move jobs while still under contract. Preferably giving the school some notice which is why I previously mentioned if he and the AD sat down and figured now was best for him and the school, I wouldn't be saying he's acting out of pocket.
Like I said.....three months and he's out without abandoning his team. Honestly it's closer to 2 months until coaching changes start.
Leaving as you start conference play while blaming the players is clown world level crap.

You guys are all for player empowerment. That means they aren't above criticism.

No. He was fine when the system benefited him. He is leaving when he no longer holds the players at a disadvantage. Just like Saban.

He was even fine with the new system as long as he was winning. At this point in the season/process it is all just coaching......which is what he's done for decades. If his team was 8-4 instead of 4-8 and it wasn't near the bottom of the conference, he'd still be coaching.

Tell me, which of the current Miami players we should criticize for him quitting during the middle of the season.
I'm curious.
Let us criticize them together. They clearly exhausted this 75-year-old multi-millionaire. Tell us what they did to him that caused him to leave.
Or was the NIL and portal rules? Not the players. Someone said it was the system, not the players, that caused him to become exhausted and not be able to coach his team until March.
Tell us, which rules changed between August and today that caused him to become exhausted? Surely, there were new rule changes since he agreed to coach this season. Right?
Tell me, I want to know the players and the rules that caused him to suffer to the point of exhaustion coaching basketball for millions of dollars.
He's been so abused.

If his team is so shitty and he's that out of touch with this generation, maybe this is an upgrade for Miami...?

He basically said he felt they were progressing and then the offseason gutted the roster. It makes sense that he'd feel defeated once the losses started piling up.
quote:
“We should be competing for an ACC championship or even a national championship on a fairly consistent basis, and I thought we were doing that and we were moving closer and closer to being able to do it, and then this happened,” Larrañaga said. “Going into this year, I just felt like, ‘OK, we need to get back to where we were.’
I don't blame the guy really. Who wants to feel like they're never getting any better at what they do?
