If anyone is being truly honest, Bradley is in the Drake and Evansville category. We've been a play-in team 8 of the last 13 years, and as a play-in team have only won 1 game.
If we're going to go in to our past, let's get Orsborn back.

I'm really confused by this first sentence, coming immediately after a post saying Bradley was a top 3-4 team in the Valley before Geno got there.
A joke program or a joke team? Those two are very different.
Bradley hasn't been a top 3-4 program in at least in 25 years. Bradley has been, prior to Ford an average program, not a joke but not top 3-4. This is what allows those numbers to look like they do, they were able to escape being terrible but they were never great. One conference championship in 25 years does not make a top 3-4 program.
CU, WSU, UNI and SIU are the top tier over the last 25 years.
MSU, ISU red, ISU blue and Bradley make the next tier.
Drake and Evansville are at the bottom.

I was taking the last 25 years as a whole. That's fine if you want to look at it this way, they way I looked at it actually made Bradley look better than the argument you are presenting. If you want to look at only the last 2 coaches Bradley is bottom 3 and trending down.bufan42 wrote:This is incorrect. As Squirrel pointed out its been the last 13 or 14 years..

9. 14 - 16, 10 - 8, 5th place (this team under achieved and got Mo under some unfair heat)
10. 19 - 12, 12 - 6, T2nd place NIT (Hell of a bounce back year, a jerome robinson quit job from ncaa)
11. 5 - 13, 9 - 20, 8th place (Loaded young talent would have been back to respectibility the next year.
Point being during the Mo era we were definitley a top 3 - 4 program.
Seriously, we fired this guy??? wtf
Had an 8 year run of top half finishes that included 5 1st or 2nds...
