2017 Ohio State Head Men's Basketball Coaching Search

Someone tell me how to feel

Intrigued.

I'm intrigued on the creative ways Ohio State will cover empty seats at Value City Arena during basketball games. I'm really thinking sponsoring those tarps for the empty seats.

Apply for a gaming license and fill the upper bowl with slot machines.

Critic me if im wrong. But I think the ceiling with McDermott is being a perineal 6-10 seed type team whos likely rarely a real threat for a deep run.

It could be worse but it damn well should be better.

What would be a topper would be if Ohio State paid McDermott in the same region as Thad Matta.

Gene is a money guy, but he's also that incompetent.

That's the ceiling FOUR YEARS from now. The next three years are going to be a total cluster because he has no Ohio connections, no big recruiting connections, no ability to solidify the classes of 2018 and 2019, and nothing on the roster right now that is anything beyond mediocre....we're basically tossing the next THREE years down the gutter with this hire. Then, after that, you are correct, we might see a five-seed once in a while....

If Donovan was Plan A, McDermott, to my untrained eye, is plan WW.

I can hear the Ohio State PA announcer now at Value City Arena.

"Feeling nauseous? Well check out the Bodega's tarp covering Section 323. Bodega, get drunk now."

 

[Dee-Liem]

Still find it hilarious that Thad Matta's record the past four seasons is still better than McDermott's.

i like this spelling much more than the dictionary's because it's very close to perianal.

I don't think Urb has shared this E+R=O thing with Gene...

I was expecting at least 2 years of being pretty bad with whoever took over (minus a Donovan or Jay Wright type who have the potential to maybe snag some quality recruits off the start)

I agree with the 4 year assumption with McDermott though. Small chance to be competitive in 3 but more likely 4. If he is able to convince the right players to join a rebuilding program.

I got pretty drunk watching the cavs game. The last 3 minutes intensified it

I'd be happy with Huggy Bear at this point.

So would I.

At least he's made it past the second round.

The Columbus Dispatch reported Huggins was interested in the job and the Bucks were apparently interested in talking. Oh well....
