With all due respect for the last season of football and basketball, we are nowhere near out of the woods or even a relevant program. Let’s let these gents continue their mission before we get to giddy and re-write history.

So we should fire Mike Kelly?

On a more serious note, this is a good thing about TBP. Unlike Twitter/X silly or outdated posts can’t be removed by the owner, they got to live with it.  Restate, Eat some crow, etc.  Helps develop good all around community posts.

There is definitely some good stuff in this thread but my favorite is this one .....

Hell no lol. That would go down as one of the dumbest moves in USF history imo. Too much riding on USF & MK right now (OCS & ACC connections).

i was in the lets give him another year or two, but he has to deliver soon crowd, but he delivered and than some.

Considering the Scott and Gregory eras I don't think it was off base  for some to say that  Golesh and Rahim better be good hires, or else Kelly had to go.

I was very skeptical, but I am glad I was proved wrong. My criticism of Kelly was never personal since I couldn't care less who heads the athletic department as long as we are winning and improve our facilities.

Some people like to work on becoming bigger fish but luckily we found the guy with the more permanent solution, change the perspective by shrinking pond…#blessed

So now that Kelly has fired Coach Mohl, his managing style is becoming more apparent. He extended everybody knowing he would likely fire many of them before seeing the ends of those contracts. It doesn't seem to play a role in his decision making going forward. Just wants the appearance of continuity. 

So paying Brian Gregory $400k for the next 2 years or Mohl or Jeff Scott. On one hand, it appears foolish. But if that lost money is built into your cost of doing business, takes a lot of the pressure off. 

If the donors/school have given Kelly that leeway, makes the extensions make much more sense. 

Kelly appears to have made 4 good hires (Erik Jenkins - Track, Alex Golesh, Shepardson-Volleyball, Amir Abdur Rahim) and 1 bad one (Jeff Scott).

All 14 head coaches under contract through at least 2023.

 

His philosophy has a real future in Washington, but if that’s actually it then it’s untenable. Now we demonstrated that it’s not continuity we will have to keep upping the commitment for the same pointless (but expensive) pop. Kelly is what he is but it’s certainly not worth celebrating anymore than stale toast.

Well, I guess you should probably reference the date that that was posted and the state of the program and make that decision for yourself.  Or, ask whoever suggested that course. 
 

I think you’re quite aware I’ve not taken a position to fire Michael Kelly, and you know how to use the search function.
