Who do you want coaching x next year

Whoever it is, I want the x identity back that made the program so successful for thirty plus years, I think some of that was lost when mack became coach, and Steele just obliterated it.

Defense, rebounding, strong player development, and a culture of strong upperclassmen leadership.

We've strayed way too far from a formula that worked for 30+ years.

That sounds easy enough!

It will be if X can offer Matt McMahon a hefty contract. He won't be at Murray St next year.

There may be folks at Xavier AND Louisville that are placing calls to the 270 area code as we speak. X ain't outbidding Louisville if McMahon is their #1 target.

McMahon won't start as their #1 target, but they could certainly work their way down to him.

Maybe, but if ANY team making a coaching change wants to go young with the bullet, it's McMahon.

Let me put on my troll hat.

I like Steve Alford. He's dying on the vine in the desert and badly needs a re-boot. Highly experienced big name with tri-state roots. He could work some magic with the resources X has to offer.

No fing way. No way.

Let Dante Jackson finish out the season! He had fire when he played and could not be any worse than Steele at this time. Let’s see if he can light a fire under this team and turn them around the last few games. Not saying he should get the job after the season by any means, but maybe he can create a spark.

You intrigued me with McMahon, then totally lost me with Alford. McMahon is the most interesting name I’ve heard. Problem is he’s a southern boy, and they always go home to momma. Don’t want no more steppingstone.
