Hmmmm. MCFadden?

[ShadowHawg]

Yep those two crazy turnovers late when we were up 5 sure saves a coach.

Go away and kick your wife and beat the dog.. We won

Hmmmm. MCFadden?

You sound bitter, you hold MA to a higher standard than BB.  Consistency.

Huh?

[ParkerSchnabel]

If he recruits good players they get credit huh ? You should be banned for this garbage. Let the fans enjoy a win.

I was screaming my head off whole game. Happy we won.

Missed the point. My bad.

You got what you recruit

That's true for good players on any team with any coach. Your point?

[ParkerSchnabel]

If thats the case I apologize. Back when HDN was here. I remember a lot of fans saying things like Matt saved his job bc he couldn't coach. So I guess I took it as a shot at Mike. My bad.

BB is trash, but MA is not proving with time that he is not much better than his predecessor, and he is inching his way toward garnering that same label as a washed up crapped out has been. I mean just look at the product we are putting on the court. Fans have a right to be concerned 7 years in to the tenure, to see us getting thumped so convincingly by teams that aren't so good, and barely beating mediocre teams like Georgia. I mean we beat one of the worst coaches in the league tonight by 3 points in double over time and the sunshine pumpers are walking around with their chests puffed out 10 feet. Granted, it was a monumental comeback on the road, but lets see how the hogs play the next couple of games before we move anderson off the hotplate. i mean the only way to describe our performance as of late is piss poor, otherwise you are not being objective. tonight was a step in the right direction but took alot of luck for us to get that win. We could have easily lost by 30+. Nothing has changed. Time for him and his team to go out and prove the detractors wrong. call me a hater whatever you want. just win baby. just win

You have questionable judgment

[CapitalCityHawg]

Didn't Mike recruited Macon?

[MikePiazza]

Can we seriously stop comparing MA to HDN? They're not in the same stratosphere. Mike wins games, just like HDN won games here, but does it with way less drama and fanfare.

wow what a comeback! high five bro.

[hawgball40]

right in those feelz bro. when you cant stand the truth

Everyone making this comparison has been clear, they are talking about games only. And in that regard MA is very HDN like. Usually gets his team up to win a couple they probably shouldn't, also manages to lose a couple they shouldn't, and at the end of the season has won enough to stay employed, but lost enough to not really do anything spectacular. And does all of that on the back of a player carrying the entire team. Last night was another example of that. The Hogs won that game because Macon kept going and getting the ball in OT and not giving it to anyone else because he knew he'd never get it back. And he scored 23 pts all after half time.

I feel ya..

People whom act like the players recruited shouldn't perform to their love are lost.. ~who knew

So basically, like most of the coaches in America sans Coach K, Roy, Jay Wright, Calipari, Self, and those guys lose games they should win all the time too.

Also always find it hilarious that it's actually a knock on a coach that he has a player carrying the team. It's almost like Hog fans wanted to tear down HDN because Matt Jones and McFadden wanted to be Hogs. And because Daryl Macon and guys like Bobby Portis wanted to be Hogs, MA has to be torn down.

Here's the deal, hogsanity, you always argue that Hogs should've never hired MA. Let's say they'd hired someone, like say, Buzz Williams. There's a name that would've been a lot like the Bielema hire. Won at a P5 league in Wisconsin, should be a slam dunk, right.

Then he comes here and puts up the record that he's put up at Virginia Tech.

11-22, 2-15, next to dead last
20-15, 10-8, T-7th, NIT
22-11, 10-8, T-7th, first round NCAA
14-6, 3-4, tied for 9th currently, lucky to be bubble

So he's got a resume that's actually worse than Mike's. But it wouldn't have been Mike, so it would've been an upgrade according to you.
