How much longer will they give Dawkins to improve this mess?

[Knight_Classes_begin_7pm]

Same crap every year!

Your Thoughts?

My thoughts:
-Terrible defense, even the announcers kept saying it (Our own Mike Odonnel was an announcer). How many dunks on us??
-Offense misses too many shots
-Turnovers, specifically passes that fly out of bounds under the basket untouched.
-HUGE QUESTION, why are these kids on our bench that will never play? I just don't get it for the life of me. Johnny?
-We have Big 12 money this year. What is the problem??? Can Johnny not recruit?
-Same crap every year with Johnny, we get worse as the season progresses into conference play
-How many years are they going to give Johnny? Two more years of this crap?
-Johnny and his coaches seem to not be able to coach these kids up.
-When there is a time out, why is Johnny not talking to the starters and another coach is????
-Johnny is a passive coach, no flame, no fire. This translates directly to the team.
-Bench: JJ Taylor/M. Williams/Dior Johnson, they don't seem like they are contributing much at all.
-Seems like these players don’t even belong in Division I: Nils Machowski, Rokas Jocius, Elijah Hulsewe, Poohpha (I just don't get it)

Johnny's accomplishments in nine years at UCF:

-One NCAA tournament appearance (six years ago) in nine years!
-Hasn’t had a winning record in conference in six years
-Embarrassed once again by a mediocre BYU team & Cincy
-Lost by 50+ at home a couple of weeks ago
-Team melts down every single time they have a chance to build momentum
-Three straight losses to USF to end the series
-Doesn't use the first half timeouts correctly
-It's his other coaches talking to the team during many time-outs

 

[Poolside Knight]

his teams always seem to have a really good win the first few weeks of the season, the media which like him personally hype up UCF as a tournament team then he melts down the final month

 

[Gwoz]

Under .500 at UCF in conference games, under .500 in his coaching career for conference games

IMO it's past time to move on.

Doesn't help Sellers is hurt basically the entire year but he has to step it up for sure.

 

[UCFSig]

As long as Dawkins holds onto those naked pictures of TM at a greek row kegger.

 

[beelit47]

Personally id give him one more year. The big 12 is a step up in football but gus sucked.

Big 12 bball is a huuuuge step up and we traditionally are very mid in bball. Dawkins has had the team competitve but too many near misses

 

[BlakNGoldAllDay]

If Thiam stays I’d say give him another year. If he leaves, no reason to keep Dawkins. I haven’t heard anything about HS recruiting with him for next year. Did signing day for basketball happen yet?

Not sure

I mean what else will change next year besides losing our best player Johnson. So expect the same results. Shampoo, rinse, repeat.

eventually we get full share of the $$ then we can get a few better recruits/ coaches.

Out of the 16 Big 12 basketball coaching jobs, where would you rank UCF as far as desirability?

BTW, Dawkins created this mess, so now you expect him to get out of it?

 

[PaulsDriveIn]

Dawkins coaches his team to be soft.

He’s asking if all 16 needed coaches, which ones would get the coaches they wanted in what order. Dawkins didn’t create it. Donny wasn’t good either and before that we were very low level. But Eith IMG and Monte Verde near, a good coach can recruit just in Florida and be real good. We aren’t even sniffing those guys. For some reason we don’t really recruit decent guys in state at regular high schools. Not sure why our scouts don’t hit Florida hard.

 

[BlakNGoldAllDay]

I just looked at basketball recruiting for next year. Absolutely nothing. If he stays it’s all portal.

That (full share) kicks in this year.

Didn't you just say two weeks ago that our roster's gonna be looking good next year?

Exactly, I just don't get that! Dawkins recruiting could be a big part of why we suck. Bottom line, in his 9 years here, he's not getting it done. Stanford repeat.

I hope you're correct. Waiting.........
