I checked hoyasaxa.com and I couldn't find anything related to the "Fire Esh" saga.

The Hoyas have a 4-14 record in JT3 last 18 games.
Yes, you read that correctly.............4-14 record.

I could not agree more. Most of you are too young to remember when HOF quarterback for the Packers came back in a quasi nepotistic hire as head coach of the Packers. He destroyed the franchise and was too arrogant and stubborn and after years of disaster was finally fired. That is when I lost respect for him. I would like not to lose respect for JT III.

Two things come to mind. What does Pops think about this. On one hand he loves his son but has to realize what his son is doing is embarrassing the program which he made great. I would love to be a fly on the wall for the conversations between the two of them.
I have another perspective on this. I am a Dodgers and lakers fan. I have have to suffer through two pitiful coaches and front offices the past few years. I got to the point where I was rooting for teams I loved to fail because I knew it was for the greater good of the team. It's a crappy spot to be in. On one hand you can never actively root against your team but you aren't upset when they lose. That is where I'm at now with this team. I'm past the point of things being fixed. Finally this past year both of the crappy coaches were fired and the new coaches came in and made watching the teams I root for more enjoyable. There is hope at the end of the rainbow and it will be in the form of a new coach. It sucks to have to wait it out but at least for me it makes new regime that much more enjoyable.

I was at the OSU game and the contrast of the coaches was amazing. When we opened with a 9-0 lead at the first time out he want ballistic and the entire game turned on a dime.

like another poster said on here enough is enough!! You can't hide behind the Thompson name forever and just b/c you are John Thompson's son shouldn't give you a free pass to stay the coach.He's not going to get no better and as long as they keep him the coach the worst this program will get.If it was anybody else they would have been fired along time ago.

So we can all be on the record now from the most loyal of JTIII supporters on this board to the least, what is the bar for this season not to look at a change?
I'll start by saying not making the NCAA's and it should be over without question. That's generous as I'm not even asking for any performance in the NCAA tournament.
What say you?

I am glad the threads have been consolidated because there's no need to have 5 new threads pop up after each loss saying the same thing.
Listen, things aren't good right now. But the fact that we are 4-14 in our last 18 games is irrelevant. The only record that matters is where we are at the end of the season and what our tournament status is. Now, I am not saying that we're going to be in great shape then - we very well might not be. But these repeated discussions that harp on the same old thing after EVERY LOSS are getting old.
I cannot say if we'll end the season in the NCAA tournament or below .500. And after the season, I am sure evaluations will be made and decisions will be made. But these pipe dreams about resignations, etc. are just that - dreams. It's not happening. So if you cannot take it, then turn off the TV until we start winning.

That sounds like a good thing to tell alums and fans. Stop watching and caring, it is what it is. Good model for a sport that depends on ratings and viewership to be relevant in order to support itself. Based on that, we should drop down and try to play in the MAAC or A-10 where you and the other thousand on this board that don't seem to care about winning can follow the program.

Tell me how many other high-major programs have fired their coaches after 6 games, and then gone on to the NCAA tournament or some level of success in that same season.

Wisconsin last year did it after 12 games. I think we've seen enough to call that earlier.

It's not that uncommon in many sports to put a fire on some people.

If I am correct, Wisconsin was coming off of a Final Four year when they made the coaching change/the coach stepped down.

4-14 record the last 18 games under JT3. Enough is enough. As horrible as it is, it feels so much worse ! this team and its fans want to MAKE the tournament, want to make sweet 16 ! With our budget, heritage, and prestige we should be worried about winning the championship not making the tourney ! Enough with mediocrity I'd rather fail horribly trying to win it all than flounder as a par/sub par team.....
