Love it or hate it, there is only one person making these decisions--Coach Ewing.
Keep working Coach

The pitch by our new assistant(s) should be to try to minimize Ewing's role and emphasize that their hiring indicates a change of direction for the program. Not so easy to make when Patrick still runs the show.

Not so easy to make when Patrick still runs the show. And then everyone who fell for that ruse transfers out after the first semester when they find out it wasn’t true.

I'm sure this will all be a completely functional organization with Ewing not listening to anyone, Ronny grabbing at power, and two assistants ready to snatch the Head Coach's job. Is there any reason to think either of these guys would be good head coaches? Their head coaching records range from scant to terrible. No one said that Assistant Coaches thinking they could fill the HC role if/when Ewing is fired had to be rational in that belief. Worst case for them, they spend the year living in DC strengthening their DMV connections on the ground every day, so they can use their renewed DMV recruiting credentials to get their next Assistant job.

Potentially exciting if this comes true, but wasn't Pegues talking to GW about a HC job? This article from 3 weeks back says so. Anyone know where that stands and why he would choose to be an asst. coach again if there's a HC job for him, especially one in the DMV area? www.si.com/college/louisville/basketball/pegues-in-mix-gw

Because GW already hired someone else for that job?

Yes, George Washington hired Chris Caputo from Miami (FL).

I bet Ewing loses the respect of the team after about the second or third practice.

Quick questions about his profile: Which high ranked recruits has Pegues successfully gotten before and which ones is he currently involved with from the class of 23 and transfers?

Not so easy to make when Patrick still runs the show. And how exactly does THAT work? You're telling the team to ignore the head coach? The change of direction part should be easy. Something like this. We realize that the key to getting back to our natural place at the head of the Big East lies with players from the DMV and we are focused on rebuilding our relationships with the local coaches and players to help bring us back. Obviously if Mike is hired and with the Nickelberry hire it demonstrates that renewed focus. Now the rest of it may be a way harder sell.

Ewing is basically told you have to get new assistants and you don't pick them. And now those assistants initial focus is to undercut any credibility or authority of the head coach. This is effed up beyond belief.

I think it's too far to say that the assistants' initial focus is to undercut the credibility of the head coach, but I think we're setting up a completely dysfunctional organization in a lame duck Head Coach, an absentee program runner upstairs, an administration that does not care and does not want to get involved other than signing checks, and two rando coaches who may or may not want the job when it all inevitably implodes.

This is effed up beyond belief. So far it has worked for Frost and Nebraska Football. This is the first year that more talent came in than out since he has been coach but one huge difference is Nebraska never lost its fans. Although if it wasn't for some rich donors they would have lost their sell out streak and this is the most empty seats I have seen in 20 years. With fans/alumni they also have a ton of NIL deals since there is nothing else in Nebraska so nothing really competing for dollars. One of their biggest named transfers said there were so many opportunities it got out of hand and he had to limit what he did. Obviously that is not the case here and is a huge difference between the 2 scenarios. Also don't know if any of that will lead to actual on field and in our case court results.

So yall have never had supervision that you had to make him/her feel like a idea was theirs to get them to use it? The Xs and Os only need tweaks not a full overhaul. You only have to make small suggestions and Ewing will get on board. You can't go in throwing insults...

Is there any reason to think either of these guys would be good head coaches? Their head coaching records range from scant to terrible. Is there any hope that whatever is done, some people won't immediately send out a negative slam? I can answer that one. I don't see Nickelberry as a head coaching candidate. I do see Pegues that way but he has been an assistant, not a head, tis true. I put both hm and Mike Jones in the assistant ready for promotion category, along with UConn's Kimani Young, among others. Some of the others have been promoted already this year.
