Four years in we should not be playing in the PIG game. Ridiculously easy out of conference schedule hides how truly bad things were this season. As soft as the A10 is this year, we somehow weren't prepared for conference play. No real development of players from last year to this year or beginning of season to end of season.

F

F minus

After all, It is college teaching/learning environment, he failed in this role….

Did we expect any different outcome?

We know there will be a few As as DC_Rams and his burners vote, the rest will continue to be Fs.

I think most of us expected us to be better than last year, the preseason prediction contest showed that.

To be fair, I thought we were going to be this team - I just figured we would be unlucky and win a pointless 20 games and keep Cox.

I did not give him an F because we didn’t have any major off-court scandals, nobody got arrested, thrown out of school, we didn’t end up on probation. Our record and performance were disappointing but at more or less .500 there is, mathematically, more room to fall.

So it’s a ‘D’ for me. A ‘D’ in year 4 is clearly fireable, to be clear.

I was referring to the poll being all Fs at the time of my comment.

What was the rationale of the C minus

This was pretty much my rationale as well. I'd change my grade to an F, if it turns out there are APR ramifications coming, but I don't think we have any indication of that. He hasn't left the program in as bad of shape as Baron (almost zero A-10 level talents on the roster) or Jerry D. (roster full of low character guys or questionable talent). But the team underachieved, and more importantly, got worse as the year went on.

There's no longer any need for this thread....time to look forward, not back.

Is there an F-?

This is a stupid post/poll.

Let’s just pile on the guy.

I have a solid D

Okay, but what did you grade the coach?

That’s what I meant D for Cox can’t give an F he did win 15 games even though the soft schedule

With the name and the “give an F” I can’t tell if he is actually in on the joke or not, honestly.

I can’t ever follow Reef’s posts, most of the time it’s one fragmented run on sentence with zero punctuation or flow.

Eh. Reef has his own style. Lots of posters do. I think rod lives on here thru posters with very unique and consistent post formatting. I don’t have a hard time understanding most of them, and definitely not reef’s.

Thanks TP , as usual you are the man !!

that's not coaching, that's just not being a shithead.

FFFired. Sorry coach Cox.. truly hope you get a position you can succeed at.. good luck. Nothing personal but ram1980 and ram1982 want to be relevant and head back to A10 tournament as in years past. Maybe even catch an NCAA game some day.

I give him a Gentleman's F. That's for having FUN!!

Right, but I think you have to be a shithead to get a F?

Shoiuld have had a D- as a grade.

I thought about that but I wanted to keep the regraded the same as the past two seasons.

Also I put this out before he got fired. I was expecting the decision to be after the A10 Tournament on Tuesday March 15.

Over the course of 4 years a C- had a good stretch from late 2019 through Feb 2020 which was probably a B+. Outside of that a D. I gave an emotional F minus earlier but that’s really reserved for Jerry D.
