I’m just going to deliver this take now. It’s got multiple parts, so prepare to read. Feel free to argue.
Should the Flyers fail to make the tournament, I say this with as much love and respect as possible from an alum,
Neil Sullivan needs to immediately resign.
Part 1.
@sullymygoodname That is his fault for not taking advantage of the off-season. It’s clear he has too much of an ego. Hell, he probably was at Tim’s last night.
@sullymygoodname Very reasonable take. I’m someone who absolutely hates doing someone else’s job (done every day). I think both players and coaches need to be better than they are. But hey, maybe, just maybe, this leads to changes, whatever those may be.
The tournament berths, or lack thereof, speak for themselves. I’m not calling for the man to be jobless. But his time in our program will have run out. At this rate, it isn’t about NIL. It isn’t about being a mid-major.
It’s a failure to evolve as a program.
Part 2.
@udlowdboyz Precisely why GM is perfect. It lets him center on what he does best, which is recruiting players to his Alma mater and giving them potential to shine.
Another thing I didn’t add was that the players need to be better too. But that’s obvious for every team.

So with that said, I think Anthony Grant’s role in our program is best served as a general manager. People want to play for him.
That part is consistent. And it’s the truth.
Anyways, I’m done typing. Embrace debate. But let’s do this peacefully and not point fingers.
You may make whatever criticisms you want about him as a coach, I certainly haven’t shied away from it. But what the man can do, because the numbers show for it, is recruit. And get people to stay.
He’s sent more players to the NBA than nearly the rest of the A10 combined.
@DaytonBC Agreed on the tech being bad but Montgomery 100% got fouled on that fast break. No call leads to 5-point swing. Have to let a man be a little ticked off.
Good final few minutes to that first half, for the most part. Took good shots, forced turnovers, and De’Shayne’s playing angry.
Foot on the gas, fellas. 20 more minutes to go.
Piss them off. Get in their heads. Play smart.
LFG FLYERS!
I don’t care that we lost. I am so proud of our guys and now we actually KNOW our guys are as competitive and talented as any top ten team in the NCAA. We will be dancing in March and I am fired up for this season! This team has so much fight in them. We are going to be so fucking good this year!
Next up: BYU.
Say what you want about last night. Got the win and another great chance to boost the resumé tonight. We need to be thankful for those.
Channel your inner Thanksgiving 2021 energy, Flyers. Shock the world.
