Possibly, but maybe not right away. Mack was out of work and Charleston is not a bad gig.

Hmmmmm.

Surf, the same thought crossed my mind when I saw that post. That said, I have no idea. Personally, I think the A10 has enough teams already - even with UMass heading out the door.

Excellent hire. Curious to see how Mack does there.

Well, if he doesn't do good there, he can then go down to CCSU.

Mack is an asshole.

For the complainers who think Archie isn't "connecting" with the fans enough...even though he's just a reserved guy off the court...Mack is a total dick. To everyone.

Very happy he wasn't our top target.

Tell that to the Xavier fans, they loved him and were hoping he would change his mind and stay.

Chris Mack a hell of a lot more successful than Archie.

Winning cures all, be reserved and not into the extracurricular stuff if you’re winning and nobody will care.

No winning, no growth, no improvement AND you don’t have any interest in making connections? That’s when people get pissed, as they have with Archie.

Yeah, I don't think so if you account for conference and resources their schools had. Mack is probably more successful, but it's pretty damn close when you adjust for situation and you can make a solid case that Archie's done better when adjusting for situation

"..Archie's done better when adjusting for the situation." Huh???? -- This would be in the category of excuses, excuses, excuses- You are either successful or you are not successful. Which category do you think Archie falls into?

Posted: **Mon Apr 01, 2024 11:11 am**

He's only 45 and has gone to four NCAA tournaments in 12 years of coaching, would have made the tournament another time except for Covid, and has made two NITs. His record in the NCAA tournament is 5-4. He's unquestionably been successful

Posted: **Mon Apr 01, 2024 11:50 am**

OK. Fine. I hold to past success, for any coach, does not guarantee future success. Hoping Archie will get it done here also. Go Rhody

Posted: **Mon Apr 01, 2024 1:32 pm**

While Mack may be an asshole (and I also recall him in 2014 - the first year of the new big east railing against the A10 for bids. I was like, dude you were in the league until this year - take it down a notch and don't be disrespectful), I still would have been happy if AM was not our guy (note, I still have faith in Miller).

Archie definitely had success at Dayton, but obviously the last 6 years haven't gone well for him.
And of course it is "what have you done lately" that counts.

Obviously, Archie is still safe and not on the hotseat yet.
But it is important that we get some positive results starting this season.
Otherwise things in Rhody world will be extremely ugly, much worse than now.

My sincerest thanks to Coach Self. Jayhawks nation wishes him the best.

It was April Fool’s joke about Cooley. Was very well written too. Story on Cooley is back about 2 pages in this thread.
And it has staying power today being April 2

Cooley was never on that staff directory apparently. Providence fans are really good at starting false rumors and spreading it, nothing happened with Cooley he will remain the coach without any issues.

Looking back I see the Cooley story was out on March 27, well before April 1, but it got more circulation on April 1. Pretty funny actually.
Friar fans loved Cooley until he decided to take a better job. Now they despise him.

That Simon Charles parody account ran by a Providence fan does a good job spreading misinformation and gets a bunch of people to fall for it.

Multiple coaches go from non P5 to P5 every single season.

This isn't a new trend.

I know Pepperdine is a dead end job but this is the best they could do? A re-tread who hasn't been a head coach in 20 years and was below .500 at Wright State between 1997-2003. There had to be some young plucky assistant coach eager to climb the ranks as opposed to a 58-year old re-tread.

9 NCAA tournament appearances between 1976-1994 is pretty good. Made the tournament again in 2000 and 2002, but nothing since. Feels like they've underachieved for a while considering what they used to be and their location
