- 3/21 15:29:16

Yeah, at this point we have no idea. We hired a crapshoot. (nm) - zounami MU - 3/21 15:29:54

anyone we would've hired would be a crapshoot(nm) - TigerA MU - 3/21 15:32:07

That's a ridiculous claim. (nm) - zounami MU - 3/21 15:33:24

Evidently so. DRF has shown she's incompetent. (nm) - zounami MU - 3/21 15:43:44

lol at you. (nm) - TigerA MU - 3/21 15:44:11

You should know the quality of coach you're hiring... - zounami MU - 3/21 16:10:05

for our incompetent AD though it would be a crapshoot right? - TigerA MU - 3/21 16:10:58

Apparently so... a competent AD wouldn't have hired Gates. (nm) - zounami MU - 3/21 16:14:40

well I am sure the AD doesn't think it is a crapshoot based - KCT-BoneTiger MU

- 3/21 15:31:08

And how can that possibliy be answered until he has been - Nazfan MU - 3/21 15:41:18

Based on a coach's experience and track record... - zounami MU - 3/21 15:43:21
