SteveO said:However, one thing he does very well is hire Head Coaches. Look at WBB and Volleyball last year and Track/CC a few years ago.
If you give him credit for Bovee, who was already a Head Coach on staff, for track, you have to mightily ding him for the rapid decline in our baseball program. If they don't turn it around, I'm not sure how a change is not made before the end of the season.
As for Volleyball, do you think we overachieved? We were 1-6 vs the top 3 teams in the conference. Great, we were 9-0 against Bradley, Evansville, Valpo, and Indy State. We also spend a lot more on our program than most schools do. We might even be #1 because we fly the team a lot more than other conference schools.
I think volleyball will show how good the hire is as Myers' players graduate and move on and Johnson is recruiting on her own. I hope she pans out; we shall see what happens.
WBB looks good so far. Just wish we handled Smith's termination in a way that severely hampered department resources.
