Re: McCall's 22-23 Buyout

this thread underscores why ryan bamford needs to be fired. he cant get a coach that can win in the two major sports. this thread also underscores the fact that umass basketball is not good yet we continue to miss out on the mac and cusa to protect it. Unfortunately with his contract extension Bamf...

So you're saying they won't be afraid when they come here on Sunday. :)
They also have good size we could get killed on the boards

Re: McCall's 22-23 Buyout

But what else you do if you're not going to extend him? Can't really have someone in the last year of a deal, without expectation to continue on. Totally kill any recruiting Exactly you absolutely aren’t going to extend him so you have to eat the buyout. If two separate times football donors came u...

Re: McCall's 22-23 Buyout

So not sure we discussed this on the board, but McCall last year buyout is quite high. I am sure Walt's agent wishes he did this well. 22-23 salary 800k buyout if fired by March 28, 2022 $785,000 If anyone wants a copy of the deal dm me your email. love you guys, preecher What would the buyout be i...

Re: 2021-2022 Season

I'm long past the DK saga but I am becoming more and more convinced that something is lacking in the way McCall coaches. We're equally as talented as almost all of the teams we've played yet we constantly fall behind by double digits early in the game. If there is such a thing as scouting/game plan...

Re: 2021-2022 Season

I wasn't one who wanted Kellogg gone and the timing of his firing after he had just brought in a great recruiting class was horrible. If you look back at what DK did in his 9 years, that is EXACTLY the type of program I want. 2-3 NIT appearances - 1 all the way to the Final 4 ...got UMass back to t...

Re: Game 11, 2021-22: North Texas (12/11)

Becker turned down Duquesne the week before UMass hired McCall. Maybe he's a lifer in Vermont. Idk. It’s possible that’s the case too. Although I’d say UMass is a much better job than Duquesne, who are perpetually lower half of the A10, pretty shitty arena, apathetic fan base and you’d have to relo...

Re: Game 11, 2021-22: North Texas (12/11)

Okay we know the money is there to buy out McCall since they won’t have to pay bell. Bamford needs to buy em out this week. Save the program. Give Ricky the interim job and go hire d killings in March. Who says no to this plan? Yeah let’s fix the problem of hiring an inexperienced head coach who’s ...

Re: New UMass Football Coach 2021

That's the negative with DB IMO. His loyalty has been questioned when he abruptly took the DC job with Maryland after whining about things here. Now he was willing to take the UConn job knowing the UMass job would be open. Also, he's never at one place too long(5 yrs max) even though this would mos...

Re: Game 4, 2021-22: vs Weber State (11/18)

Not once in my post did I say he was a good coach. I think he is definitely flawed, but aside from firing him after 4 games, why don't we ride out the season and support the team instead of regurgitating the same shit every time they lose. They have a lot of new faces, and it'll take some time to g...

Re: Game 4, 2021-22: vs Weber State (11/18)

Unbelievable how Weber came out of halftime with adjustments and executed over and over again while we did same old same old, and... game over. I think we've seen enough of McCall. You can pick a guy off the street to go 48-67 with UMass' budget. What's maybe more astounding is how Bamford merited ...

Re: Game 4, 2021-22: vs Weber State (11/18)

If the offense is basically taking the lowest percentage shot all game, most nights will be on the short end. Its like theres a wall at the old 3 pt line and we cant penetrate it It seems that’s the offense the past 3 games over half our shots come from 3. Tonight it was 60% (37 of 62) coming from ...

Re: Game 2, 2021-22: at Yale (11/12)

After 2 games it looks like this team is a mishmash of players with different skill sets for different styles of play. It also looks like no one is playing for the team but for themselves. Noah in particular looks like he’s forcing shots simply for the sake of getting his shots. The substitution pat...
