Do gifs pain you this much? Pain level, please, from 1-10.

Why in the world do you think this? I know you mentioned before so we could save money. This doesn't hold water for so many reasons.

1) BU would have quit by now if this was a real thing. This creates more stress on the rest of the staff and hamstrings BU going into next year. Moving forward we'll have difficult hiring quality coaches EVER AGAIN because we're showing that we don't value our coaches and we're not serious about having a top coaching staff. If this is BU's choice, he needs to be fired immediately.
2) So you're telling me that JW suddenly went from offering raises to Chin and OA to all of a sudden he's going to save approximately $200k a year by not hiring another assistant? If JW is that cheap, he needs to be fired immediately. We were a #1 seed last year and we're going to have a full house in SFC next year. The money is there.
3) 10 of your 18 posts are insisting that we're not hiring a third AC. You're a troll.

Why would you even argue these points? See your own #3 response. That’s all you needed to say.
You need not vent about firing BU, NEVER AGAIN being able to hire quality coaches, JW being that cheap.
Your silly responses (#1 and #2) are the absolute reasons this knucklehead keeps posting that nonsense….to get guys like you all worked up.
I retract #3 was all you needed to say.
“You’re a troll.” Was all you needed to say.
That’s it. Now breathe. Nice and slow. It’s gonna be ok…..

Speaking of coaches, a few months into the hire, does anyone happen to know how Minnesota fans are feeling about their new coach?

Can we get a new thread for coaching NEWS so I don’t have to scroll through this totally unfunny and uninformative crap? And to think I was once banned for posting something that was considered off topic.

It would be an empty thread. If there were actual news we wouldn't be gifblasting this thread. Or, at least, it would be more topical gifblasting.

Am I to understand that there are registered users of this board who click through threads looking for actual news? Do such users believe we're so busy here, that actual news wouldn't make the front page? Are there people really thinking "I wonder if there's any news on hiring AC3, I think I'll check Illini Loyalty. Hmmm, nothing on the front page, maybe I need to look in Coaching-Carousal 2021 Version#233 Pages 5-8 to see if there's news. What?!? Only gifs?!? Outrageousand completely unexpected!!!"?

I come to this board for entertainment, diversion and news. I'm getting two out of three in large doses.

If you see my picture of K. Gill from the N/S High School All-Star game you can be 99% sure it will have Illini info you'll want to read.

Interesting that most of the posters complaining about gifs joined this forum within the last several months...

When I sign up for an email newsletter but quickly get annoyed by the content, I don't keep my subscription while also spamming the authors in the hopes that they'll change how they write their newsletter, even though it's been around for 10+ years and has hundreds (1000s?) of subscribers. I just, ya know, unsubscribe.

So, if they stink again next year he’ll bail is how I take this?

Edit: article wouldn’t load for me so I’m going off the headline. Apologies if this is directly implied in the article

short article, just speculation....I couldn't open the comments section which had 233 comments....that would have been interesting to read, moreso than the short article

Ironic won't be the right word if Calipari leaves and they come after our head coach too.

I'd put the timing at 'just after we name our third AC' because the Carousel thread is now a living thing and will refuse to go without a fight.

If Cal bails, I would expect OA to make a push to be named his successor. Otherwise, I would expect OA to bail as well.

Maybe that's why we're keeping our AC3 position open?
