Like I've said before...if we don't fire Konkol (yes i know i defended him early) then it'll show we don't care.
You make such grand statements and think they are 100% true. It doesn't show that. President Carson & AD Moore do care no matter what they do with the basketball program.


If they don't can Konkol this year...

It shows that they may have more confidence in Konkol's ability with more money for nil. And/or they want to focus more money and time on the football program right now thinking it will bring more fruits than spending the money changing coaches now. And/or have more time off the buyout deal and time to raise money, while the football team gives them that mileage to raise that money. It will be based on some combination of those reasons if they don't fire Konkol.

You may not agree with their decisions, or the nuanced research that they use to make those decisions, but they don't just not fire him because they don't care. You see the world in such simplistic black & white terms.

Listening to Moore on 97.1 today, sounds like Konkol is getting another year at least.
Big Al asked him directly if he cared to commit on the State of TU basketball. Moore said he needs to give Konkol more bullets for the gun in so many words.

What do you expect him to say on the radio? He's not going to say anything negative on the public airways.

If he would have said something like... We will evaluate Konkol and the season after the final game, then I wouldn’t think he's getting another year.
We will know for sure in the next couple of weeks.

It's AD speak. He's not going to give any indication of his plans over the radio, for a variety of reasons.

But he did give an indication of his plans.
He could have said something else that wouldn't have been an indication of his plans, such as what I said in my previous post.
I'm not saying he shouldn't be fired, simply commenting on what he said on the radio two hours ago.
Could he end up being fired, yes.

Spring man was left with nothing but McBride. Sorry for him but not for the Oral
program which I despise. When Oral controls their out of control abusive students is
When I will give them props. As it is now I’m on record as not wanting to play their bush league program. And I’ve said it to every AD here.
