Macquire Gone

[Jonsoup]

Indiana State today announced that their head coach is FIRED! Who's next? BALL? Heacock? What's everybody's thoughts?

[Matt Trump]

Ball - no According to Mr. PTTB, their administration won't buy him out

Heacock - yes their administration shouldn't tolerate their performance in the last few years.


Hopefully these coaching changes won't change the balance of power in the Gateway like SIU has done recently, I think it will all return to normal when Kill bolts for more money and SIU goes back to the basement just like Ill St post Todd Berry.

Link to McGuire story.....

I will link to the Terre Haute Tribune-Star:

McGuire's firing was on the front page this morning. They will probably have the website updated around 10CST, if anyone cares.

I'm not soo much worried about SIU......we need to figure out how to beat WKU.

As far as Macguire being gone... what took them so long? That team has been wallowing in their own filth for years. It's a darn shame that InSt can't at least have a bit better tradition going for it. When you're only drawing 2,500 fans a game, changes have to be made somewhere.

That being said....

I still think that Macguire isn't entirely the problem. In fact, he wasn't the problem at all. Like I said, who wants to play for a program that draws more per game for basketball than football? The powers that be in Terre Haute need to do something a little bit more than this. It's a shame that they made him the scapegoat.

Yeah, prowler's right. I get on how sh*tty INSU is in football, but it's, in reality, a very sad situation. I really never wish a program to suffer (well, except Youngstown!).

No football tradition, no fan support, recruiting in perhaps THE toughest area in the U.S. to do so; competing against ND, IU, OSU, NU, U of I, all the MAC, and nevermind her regional I-AA competitors. It's a career-ender for coaches and I hope McGuire lands on his feet somewhere.
