Copper Griz said:The seat should not just be hot - it should damn well be on fire. Would losing 7 of the last 9 to the Cats be acceptable for any other U of M athletic program. No, no it would not and don’t give me excuses about injuries. Selvig stayed too long and the AD thought SS would be the answer since she was a great player and had been an assistant for so long. She is not getting it done and she now has a very uphill battle - even if they finish the year strong. Henderson is going to be a big loss and Johnson probably even a larger one. The program is not able to out recruit the Big Sky with home grown talent anymore and you need a coach with charisma and strong recruiting abilities. I am not seeing it and it ain’t going to happen. Time to pull the plug and get someone at the helm that can turn things around.
Selvig won BSC 2 of his last 4 years so I'm not sure he was here too long. I would also say most or maybe all of the Montana kids on the team are BSC caliber players. I would normally wait for City to chip in here, but the Griz need a couple ladies from Tacoma or Oakland to get them to a better level. But I'm not sure there is a recruiting budget to scout those areas, Lady Griz mostly rely on Legacy for recruiting.
Edit: for the record I think Schweyen is a decent coach. With time she could be a great coach. Robin was just an incredible coach, who got the most out of his players but either didn't ask or didn't get the resources to move the program to the next level. Getting rid of Schweyen most likely won't mean a BSC in the next 3 years either short of an incredible player falling into their lap.
