Shaun Smith Kentucky State comes to mind. In another universe where I am the Bucknell AD I call him today and offer him the head coaching job. He gets Bucknell back on track and moves on to Div. 1 basketball greatness. How hard is this all?

If ND is NOT fired at the conclusion of this season, this program is destined for a long stretch of failure. We will again have our better players transfer out, without the ability to replace them via the transfer portal. Even if we can make up for it with really strong recruits, they will most likely not be ready to play their first year at the level required to win games. The AD must recognize that the portal takes away and gives back for most teams, but mostly just takes away from Bucknell even in the best of times due to our strict academic standards and lack of graduate programs. We MUST keep our recruits for 4 years, or it just won't work in this climate of college basketball.

If there is no change at season’s end, I will most likely join the hundreds of seasons ticket holders who already did not renew tickets this year. I don’t mind have a down year or two, but I need to feel that better days are coming. I just don’t feel that with current staff.

Agreed. Watched SMU numerous times while living in Dallas area. Great coach that could have taken several higher level jobs. At 62, he seems happy making his $2M a year and living the good life in Dallas.
