Getting fired and losing more games than he won for the most part, ensured that people would be skeptical of his abilities. Glad to see Unlv getting off the hook for firing him. Honestly MM was so far in over his head it wasn’t even funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernie Baer Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 2 hours ago, 4UNLV said: curious to see where Strawther goes tomorrow. Otzelberger has certainly put in the effort but the expectation is Gonzaga. If it isn’t UNLV hopefully people don’t go crazy. Difficult to make up that kind of ground in such short time. Now if they start missing out on some of the other targets like Hardy’s younger brother then it becomes troubling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwelish Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Not sure why people are already singing the praises and claiming victory before this guy has coached a single game. I knew that Vegas would embrace the right hire and get behind them, but the nut hug fest that has ensued since his chopper ride has been of epic proportions! I dont know if Totz is the right hire or not, but this retroactive trashing of the previous coach is garbage. MM was almost certainly going to win the MWC next season and did a decent job recruiting. He didnt crush it here by any means, but people sure are happy his players are mostly staying. He did a good job here, but the fit was all wrong and we all knew it. I dont care if UNLV had to pay MM or not, or if he took another job. I just hope that this change was the right one and the nice trend of improvement is not reversed under this current regime. Because none of us really knows if Totz can get this thing to the next level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qwelish Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Lets see Totz and co bring in the Hauser bros, Grill, Jenkins and Strawther and I will be right there bromancing away! Let me see him beat a few of these teams hes not supposed to next year and win the conference within the next two seasons and I will drink the Kool-Aid too. I didnt need to be won over like the community. I never went away so I like the antics too, but whatever. I want winners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure they pay Thunder Dan a nice salary. Assistant coaches in basketball though? Power 5 assistant coaches usually don't make $400k. I don't see GCU paying more than Power 5 schools for Mediocre Marv. What's the point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickdraw Posted April 18, 2019 Author Share Posted April 18, 2019 1 month ago the consensus was Marv getting the Reb to #3 in the conference next year and now we are supposed to believe this revisionist BS about winning the conference. Just start the "Fire Otz" thread and get ahead of the curve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4UNLV Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Props to Menzies for not sitting on his butt for the next couple of years taking UNLV for all $800K, but instead he's giving up $400K per year to be an assistant at GCU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwelish Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 There was no consensus. But if there was one it would have been based on Muss and another really good team and utah state with Queta. So the revisionist is revisioning and claiming bs? Thats pretty much par for the course around here. Plus I like Otz, but doesnt mean I have to dangle from scrotums like you and some others around here. Hmmm.. Now who is lowering expectations?

qwelish Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 All I did was be fair and stay centered, while you and others pretended that he was tanking the program. But now youre begging to keep his players. Plus, there hasnt even been an Otz season yet. But hey, keep on ridin them fruits by all means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be more than happy to see 5+ of them cut loose. And no, i'm not riding Otz dick (as you did with Menzies). I'm excited for the change and I'm excited to see what he can do; but, he still has a lot to prove. Your flip flopping on Marv throughout last season was entertaining. You'll deny it. But it was evident to everyone else on the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
