Oh, he absolutely has made a ton of mistakes. No doubt about it. Will I crucify him for them, no? He just had a 21-9 season and a 10 game win streak in the middle of it. He improved from last season. We will never know what MIGHT HAVE BEEN this season. NEVER. I think if STL pulled an upset against Dayton, we had a good a shot as any.RamStock wrote: ↑4 years agoThat is a deflection. You can’t sit there and say Cox hasn’t made a bunch of mistakes. I think the number one mistake he made was the assistant coaches. What do they contribute? Sutton and Cox have no connections of any value it seems. If we are wrong on this assumption tell us what their strengths are to this program
I’d err that first time D1 coaches will make mistakes. Some more than others. Again, folks like to harp on the transfers, I only blame the staff for 3. Too many are looking at it holistically, instead of case-by-case. That’s fine. But it doesn’t make one any more right, than it makes another anymore wrong.
My gripes with Cox is not really using his bench more, or timeout usage, or reeling some guys in when they need to be...but other than that, I don’t think he should be shitcanned. If he doesn’t fill the roster out with quality players before the season begins and we don’t measure up this upcoming season, or the next, I’ll gladly grab a pitchfork. Until then, I’m still encouraged by his growth. My metrics for success clearly greatly differ from the outspoken majority here. Again, that’s fine.
That’s all, that’s it.
I don’t care if anyone chooses to agree or disagree. It’s my personal POV. Take it or leave it.
