Fire Muller...now!

[Redbird Alum 2004]

Yes, McIntosh visited during the season. A couple students had a Canadian flag at the game he came for. In 2021 every kid tweets out offers. The silence is deafening right now.

You can check out the recruiting thread and see there is movement. I am guessing none of those players excite you. Who would you have us add to fill the four current openings?

John Stockton PG
Michael Jordan SG
Magic Johnson SF/PG
Larry Bird PF
Wilt Chamberlin C (I find center to be deepest in all-time greats)

Bench
Dennis Rodman PF/C (Dude's D was insane)
Kobe Bryant SG
LeBron James SF/PF

Fire. Dan. Yesterday.

Has he seen what a dumpster fire this program has turned into? What is the Valley record for consecutive years of finishing dead last? I think we have a shot.

We have crossed over the "we can't afford to fire him" bullshit. We can't afford to keep him now. What a shame. Thank you, larry lyons.

Larry Lyons will go down with Dietz as the worst people in ISU athletics history. Absolutely destroyed basketball and stunted all the growth and momentum Zenger and Bowman built up to go FBS.

You’re completely discounting the effect that Covid has had.
I mean look at how other mid-major programs like Gonzaga and Loyola have completely struggled this year...

 

[BirdGrad2011]

Loyola has done more recruiting while they played most of March than Dan has done sitting at home.

Muller now has to get a new team and we still have Kotov on scholarship who won’t play. We might be lucky to field a team next year.

Times 5,000! It's astonishing how dense you people are.

 

[jamminjamarsmiley]

You guys are SO DENSE. Please listen to the KAC (kool aid crew - new acronym) who have said the following many times:

• You cant fire Dan because you'll lose the nucleus(Horne, Reeves etc) and will take the new coach 4 years to rebuild...
• You cant fire a coach during the pandemic.... (2021 College Basketball Coaching Carousel | Coaches Database ... EIU and NIU pulled off this incredible feat amongst many others with much smaller budgets)
• You cant fire Dan because of the $1.5 Mil buyout ... If any of the statements seem dense, this might be it. As stated previously, there is an opportunity cost here to leaving Dan in charge in diminishing the fan interest, losing donors, killing the reputation of the program (ISU bball is now known the MVC deadbeats, why come play here?). But hey, #TRUSTTHEPROCESS !

Small town high school basketball is still pure and entertaining. A lot more so than the current state of ISU basketball.

Jebuz talk about dense. Or trolling. NOBODY on this board is saying Muller needs to stay, nor for ANY of the reasons you're stating. Most everyone is saying a change IS needed, but it appears ISU admin is not willing to fork over the $$$ and/or fire a coach during a pandemic. That is vastly different than posters saying "can't." I haven't seen anyone here argue "can't" because "the nucleus" would break up. You might find the lone poster, but now you're just making shit up.

 

[cubird]

Ditto!

 

[cubird]

If some posters on here had more pull on the AD selection...Marty Simmons would of been the Birds coach this week

 

[BirdGrad2011]

 

[ricohill]

So he would have stayed if Muller wasn’t completely worthless at his job.

 

[BIGfan]

Wonder why it is so hard to recruit??? Maybe prospective players read all this nonsense about firing the coach. Who wants to play for a fan base like what they see on this forum? Everyone was talking about what a loser Moser was until after he got the boot and went to a school many of you said wasn't worthy of the MVC. Guess he showed you.... Get off this fire the coach crap.

 

[jamminjamarsmiley]

“Recruiting wasn’t looking good”..... doesn’t this mean Dan’s failure recruiting caused our top player to bail out.

Glad we are keeping him around to completely dismantle the program. When you think it can’t get any worse, it does.
Thanks Muller!!!

You’re blaming RBF for Dan not being able to get recruits? So, why don’t we just mock up a fake forum full of KAC posters and we will start bagging 5 star recruits.... Jesus man
