1. Clearly, prior coaching experience mattered in this situation.

2. They're going to give Christian more money than they were going to give Groce to stay.

3. JIM CHRISTIAN?!!

Is this real life??

What does this even mean? 

Someone, L.C., anyone, please analyze this for the noobs


You know what Frank Solich likes most about coaching in the MAC? While he gets older, his coaching competition stays the same age, man.

The real O-H-I-O

Is it in any way possible that someone created a fake CBS website and posted that? It's been done before where you mirror a site for a joke.

Nevermind, he tweeted it, too.

Holy. Crap.

First round of what? He took Kent State to the Elite Eight.

Wonder if this is the type of hire that is seen like Solich, a guy who had success already in his career and won't leave after a few seasons.

Sorry got them mixed up.

No hire would please this crowd unless it was Boals or Ford. 

Schaus hasn't been wrong with his last 2 basketball hires, can't start doubting him now.

=>No.  Christian took over after Stan Heath.

Kent had 3 coaches in 3 years.

Gary Waters in 2001, Heath in 2002, and Christian in 2003.


Miami Basketball:  2005 MAC Regular Season Champs! 2007 MAC Tourney Champs! Most MAC regular season titles,  Street & Smith #47 all-time basketball program!

I am a font of misinformation.  I will go back to my typical role of quite observation.  That is all.

Other way around, Heath took them to the Elite 8 and bolted, then Christian took over.  From his TCU bio:

In his first three seasons, Christian has guided the Frogs to a combined 38-58 overall record, including a 14-17 overall record during his first campaign.

My wife just asked me the question..."Why are we hiring him?"

20 games under .500 at TCU. Never won a postseason game. Not going to excite the fan base in the off-season. Better win some games early. Hope the players buy in too.

TCU won a game in the CBI
