Romar still delusional

@DerekJohnson
Stalin you commie prick. Rename this board to "Romar's Delusions". This way we can always reminded of his tenure as our? coach

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.

The plan was Michael Porter and locking down the very strong, future Seattle talent. Everyone knew it. Fultz very well could have saved Romar the year before, although Cohen has just been named AD.

Romar just lost way too much because he's a shitty coach and you can't put up with 6 years of missing the tournament and your coach going 2-16 in the PAC 12.

Hence why he was door.ass.out

It's great that his plan was to bring in talent ... but he never got deeper than having a strategy of rolling the ball out and watching it play out.

I don't totally know what Fultz and his injury status was (legit wise) ... but I don't get the impression that if this was a team that was a strong NCAA team that he'd have sat out the end of the year like he did. It seemed obvious to me that he made a business decision and that was that.

By and large, it looked like the team as a whole more or less quit on Romar ... when you add all of that up, what choice did he really give Cohen?

I can't disagree with a word of that ...

I have no desire in breaking down the Romar is a good guy narrative ...

My guess is that if I pulled the curtain back and followed the program from the inside for a year my opinion would likely change significantly

What do you mean?

Romar is a great guy ... everybody says so

Yet there's growing evidence that Romar can't wait to talk about how it wasn't his fault, doesn't take responsibility, and has no problem throwing people in front of or under the bus to protect his image.

For me, you can't earn too much respect if you aren't willing to take personal accountability ... that's a bare minimum
