How come we don't love Oscar?

[renocat]

We are winning!
I hear in the outback comments such as "we like him", "nice man", decent, but no one says they love him.  Not like my demented KU buddies say about Bill; they love him.   People said that they loved Martin.  I have not really remember Weber saying he loves his players or the fans.  Manhattan, yes.  His family, yes.  I am sure he has expressed affectionate thoughts towards players, fans, and the school, but I can recall them.  He is not convincing.  Ol' Snyder still makes a connection to fans, the common fan. I miss this with Weber.

Losing to LaSalle. Losing the program basically and having to rebuild. Being goofy and awkward.

If he beats LaSalle and goes to the Sweet 16 in year one some of this is moot.

If he doesn't lose Foster and others, he's our lovable goofy coach for sure right now.

If he completes this rebuild and has success the next 2 seasons including at least 1 second weekend appearance in the NCAAs, he probably still becomes our lovable goofy coach. (to many, I realize some aren't coming back)

Well I don’t like him because he’s not Frank and does the opposite of what Frank would do in almost every situation (win NCAA games, be loved by his players, be accountable, be charismatic, it goes on)

For me it has been the accountability since the end of year one. When he spent his entire press conferences after the KU and LaSalle losses throwing his players under the bus, backing it up, and running over them again, I was out forever. Given that he has repeated this throughout his tenure, I see no reason to change.

Yup, this is the worst thing about him, even worse than the losing

[meow meow]

[420seriouscat69]

Never mind, I can't find the post where someone was making fun of bringing up Frank so much. I thought it was you. 

[meow meow]

I wouldn't like him any more if he had gone to the sweet 16 that year. If anything, that would have made the last few years even harder to take. He needs to finish this year strong and have a better team next year for me to consider liking him.

Takes more than a 3 game winning streak for me to forgive him his failures

His guys are very loyal to him.

[420seriouscat69]

His press conferences and excuses. That's really it for me. He can't help his voice. It's endearing when he wins.

Love ppl who bitch about him getting outside of the coaches box for over trying however.

[meow meow]

his non con scheduling makes it hard to get excited about basketball every year

[wetwillie]

He called Mr Kstate Ernie Barnett, I can't ever forgive that.

Correction, a 3 game winning streak in the tournament might win me over

What's worse: 1) physically abusing players on national tv, or 2) sayimg they didn't play well in a post game presser?

Yeah, not sure where that statement came from. The guys who have stuck around love oscar and the staff.

oscar did this too a season or 2 ago. Maybe someone with a better memory can find it again.

Also, if he won a national championship I'd still want him fired Tuesday morning.

My principles will not be sullied by such a frivolous thing as program success.

He's had two players in like 6 years that have seemed to really, genuinely enjoy him. They are both still on the team. You guys are suffering from an acute case of recency bias.

He's a dork.

Which means he has to win at a higher rate than a non-dork.  He has flirted with that rate, but has usually been just below it.  This year is his chance though.
