Virtually anytime a coaching change is made there is excitement and a surge in attendance/ticket sales. Crean going 7-29 in his two seasons has completely squashed any optimism the fringe (about all we have) fans had for our program. With the season approaching we have been picked 13th in the league and there is zero buzz around our program. I mean zero!! Maybe Covid is partly responsible but I cannot recall a season approaching and things being this quiet.
I'll say for the umpteenth time, it was time for Fox to go. It's just bizarre to me that some act as though Fox did a terrible job. Seriously, one losing conference record the last six years he was here?? It doesn't look as though Crean will get us to .500 this year, likely not even close. That'll be 3 straight below anything we endured the previous 9 seasons.
Fox & Staff coached, maybe overly so. A little less hold of the reins might have benefitted us. These two years have been hard to watch. The lack of coaching has been glaring.
