Contract extension for Marty Simmons

[Cdizzle]

We're just over here embracing mediocrity... or should I say Martyocrity.

9 years
141-143 against D-1 competition
0 postseason appearances that didn't cost $$$
Out of 9 years, the lowest 3 SOS years have been the last 3 (self-preservation, IMO)

The self-preservation statement is my opinion. The rest are facts. You have to try really hard to explain those away. It just ends up sound like those directTv Settlers commercials.

But when I say it....

The mostly positive response on their board pretty well sums up

a) why the extension is taking place to begin with
b) why they don't belong in a D1 league that has any interest in being relevant

The move makes sense. The question becomes could Evansville do better with somebody else? I mean if you look at the investment Evansville put in relative to what they get back, they are doing better than most schools in the MVC. Could somebody do better, maybe - but SWOMO is perfect example of how it can all go bad.

Evansville should be put on NCAA probation and banned from the tournament as long as he's there for doing this.

Extending the contract is like a self-imposed ban.

It's not often agree with Snaggletooth but it does make sense. We change Coach after joining the MVC with Crews and got Merfeld. Why would you chance it again if the current coach is moving the team to higher standards then where he found it. It can go downhill quickly with the devil you don't know than the one you do
I had no say in the decision and I neither agree with it nor disagree. It did happen after Blake tore his ACL

Anyone preaching UE needs to invest more into the program,the University accepts donations from all people not just alums. Step up and open your wallet! We'll receive.

Can we donate money to help Evansville move to the OVC where they might be able to consistently fight for 3rd?

Or you can move to the Sun belt.

We're already paying for your coach with tournament shares. What else do you want?

Please send the money and we'll take it under consideration.

We are already buying your MVC allotment of Archmadness tickets from you - what more do you want?
