Romar still delusional
"...The last five years we weren't as successful as we would have liked to have been. We felt 'ok we finally got it back'..." in regards to the right before he was fired. Apparently "finally got it back" involves going 2-16 in conference play and magically expecting his recruiting class to solve all the problems.

If nothing else tells you Romar was checked out at UW and merely cashing a paycheck you should reference his fucking shirt and background. I can't recall seeing a long time coach of any program(pro/college) get canned and literally RUN to a rival and sign up to be an assistant.
The guy literally has 20 years as a D1 HC and he ran to be Millers assistant. Nothing about this should pass the smell test to anyone. -
Romar's interview with Mitch yesterday was very telling. He over played his early successes and laid out excuse after excuse for the last 6 years. It was all "the cards didn't fall our way" crap too. Absolutely no personal accountability. He said his one regret is that he was "too focused" and "worked too hard", not delegating enough to his assisstants. Then he goes on to brag about all the great job offers he received as a coach at UW but "never gave them a thought." Also made sure to mention that he's received many mid-major HC offers after his firing but those jobs are below him.

I actually wish he hadn't been fired. Watching him fail with his super duper recruiting class would have been awesome in an Owen Twelve kinda way.

Kinda similar to watching a #1 pick go 2-16? Or just the part duex of it?allpurpleallgold said:I actually wish he hadn't been fired. Watching him fail with his super duper recruiting class would have been awesome in an Owen Twelve kinda way.

Tbf I think he only went like 2-10 or so. He never appeared in any games I saw.FreeChavez said:

If Romar took this job at this time NEXT year then it is what it is ... but to immediately jump to this job = keep cashing those checks -

This has started to pop up in a few different places: Romar was told by Jen that she wanted to keep him but he needed to come up with a plan to right the ship (what he was doing obviously wasn't working). She gave him time put something together. Romar called her bluff, came back with nothing, expecting the recruiting class to be his ace in the hole. Door.Ass.Out.
I would not be surprised if going after the Zona job was Romar's way of getting back and Jen. -
IF this is true ... then Cohen gave Romar every opening possible to save himself ... the fact that he didn't even put the minimal work in necessary to put a plan together that would have saved him for another year shows how out of touch from reality he was as well as how willing he was to mail it in.bananasnblondes said:This has started to pop up in a few different places: Romar was told by Jen that she wanted to keep him but he needed to come up with a plan to right the ship (what he was doing obviously wasn't working).

Talk to coaches at Duke, Villanova, Kansas and Carolina and say "we are going to adapt some of their ideas into our off season conditioning program"
Then mumble sonething about a motion offense with more off the ball screens, and on defense modifying a match up zone...
Hope he sits on a cactus and gets stung by a scorpion
