Title: Why did John Currie do it?
Post by: bones129 on March 11, 2015, 12:18:11 AM
I still don't understand why ADJC hired oscar. Someone please explain why he pulled this trigger so fast. It won't work in the long term and we all know it. JC should have known it.

He knew oscar would win right away and was hoping to be moved on to another job before it fell apart.

Gene "rough ridin'" Keady.  The comb-over has some deep seated hatred towards his alma mater.

My take, guys, is that it's counterproductive to bitch incessantly about the head coach when you know nothing interesting will happen for at least 1-2 years.  Also....this season of underachievement was truly a team effort.

Counterproductive how? oscar's exit starts with fan discontent.

Well, it certainly sounds like you're qualified to comment on this situation then.

Because he knew kstate fans would let him get away with it.

I never thought this was guaranteed.

Even with the 0-fers in the NCAAs, oscar managed to exceed expectations (based on both preseason picks and general fan expectations) in both of his first 2 seasons at K-State. Then he finished far below expectations in his third season. While worthy of much concern, this is not worthy of oscar getting fired this season.

Also, its tough to fire someone based on what you predict will happen, unless they've had multiple seasons of not reaching expectations. oscar is sort of in that in between point here, and he'll get next season to see what he can do. There are plenty of reasons for concern, plus the general dislike for oscar based on him being hired in the first place and his weird persona. If oscar fails miserably to meet expectations again next year there will be more just cause for firing him. Of course the oscar thing to do is to follow a bad season with a good one as he's never missed the NCAAs two seasons in a row. Its just as likely (probably more so) for that to happen next year as a repeat of this year.

All of this is the dilemma of having oscar as your coach, if you believe in history repeating itself. I can still remain somewhat positive as oscar has a history of fixing his messes, but its tough to get excited because he plays a bland style of basketball, consistently makes strange comments and struggles with media, and the ceiling of his program seems to be bounding between a 5 and 9 seed every couple years. I guess he's due to win a tournament game at some point.
