You are missing the point. You believe change is warranted because JG simply can't coach a MASH Unit two years in a row. JG has done a pretty darn good job keeping this team afloat. It's difficult to find consistency and trust with players when all they have been doing is going in and out of the lineup. Furthermore, if you can't see that next years team will be pretty darn good because of what's coming back and the development of players, then you have no eye for talent and optimism. If everyone is healthy, next years team makes the tournament. I posted for the first time on here yesterday because I'm sick and tired of all the crap people post with no optimism in sight. All people do on here is whine and complain. As Whitman said last night at halftime, support and find more Illini fans. Many on here are not those people. #WEWILLWIN #INGROCEWETRUST
How has he kept the team afloat? We're one of the worst teams in the conference.
People like to copy and paste the "2012 team quit on Weber" meme over and over again, but what exactly is the difference between quitting and being bad? Why is losing at Nebraska in 2012 quitting but getting thoroughly beaten by Nebraska at home and getting curbstomped by Indiana twice is not? If you think next year's team will be pretty darn good, then by deduction you think we have good enough players now because we're not really adding any difference making players to next year's team. Maybe there will be a huge jump, but maybe it's the same issue all over again. When the coach loses credibility there's no coming back.
