Romar or Brian Gregory?

I don't expect GaTech or Washington to keep either but they could be what we need here. I know that the uncertainty surrounding the AD situation could scare a potential replacement away. I also know it's unlikely that we'll pay them what they wish. But if we don't keep Benjy as HC, give it a chance. Romar is a nice guy who's won several Pac-12 titles. The very thing he needs could be a fresh start. Gregory is a proven winner and had Rick Pitino call him one of the best 15 coaches in the country. Maybe coaching mid-majors will work for him as well as it's worked for Tommy Amaker

when Benjy looked golden to start the season, we didnt even offer him 200k.


i dont think we have a shot at these guys.
When in doubt, burn it down.

He also said they had a clause in the contract where they could fire him at any time. This is why I think he did not accept it.
Not doubting, not hating, not loving, just hoping because I am a fan.

its official. Davis it is. should be a fun game. unless we get blown out, or lose a close one. then it wont be fun.
When in doubt, burn it down.

I never got all this talk of not retaining Coach Benjy. He's been doing a great job despite all the crap to start the season.

Pay Gib his money, bring him back, and give him a big raise. He's good! Revived local interests I like him. Players do, too. Local boy. No need mainland guy! Forgive, forget. Trivial crap. Made me weak when they went after Arnold.
