MemberAs crazy as this sounds.
I would really like to see USD go after Bob Knight if Grier can't turn this thing around. San Diego is a great place for him to retire, and plus he would put a lot of butts in the seats at the JCP. He might even instill some discipline in this program, not to mention land better local recruits.

Memberegad, bobby knight? no thanks. my complaints about grier's personality would pale if knight came here and started knocking heads around, grabbing guys by the collar. grier may annoy me and i may think his sideline act is a joke, but knight was/is truly abusive to his players. i wouldn't want my kid near him as a player.
they never should've let randy bennett go. hell, sdsu should've hire bennett instead of fisher.

I will admit the newspaper article today was brutal.....not exactly what I was hoping to hear Grier say.....I'm trying to stay positive but that article was tough to take and read......as I have said earlier it isn't all on the players yet the article seemed to have Grier saying that......not good....

Membergousd,
I think me and you are on a completely different page here.
I have been critical of Grier, but those are pretty true words he is saying. At one point this year we were 3-1 with wins against 2-perrential top 50 teams in Houston and Oklahoma. We killed Houston with defense and absolutely smashed Oklahoma the entire game. I mean Oklahoma never even came close to a comeback. That is with this exact same group.
Let's be real. The conference belongs to Gonzaga or St. Mary's this year. Portland is cute, but will just be an NIT team. The Toreros are on the verge of a 20 loss season, but hey, who knows. Maybe we still make the semi's of the WCC tourney, even with an 8 seed. As crazy as it sounds, the conference is still up in the air, with anyone 4-8 capable of beating one another.

To me not to take ANY responsibility as the head coach is wrong....yes the players have to play but the coach still needs to take ownership at some point. I am hoping his comments were simply out of frustration after the game but again it takes two to tango and he was the one making subs, set plays, etc. Can USD rebound? Yes but it will take the coaches and players getting on the same page together. I want USD to make at least a respectable run in the end and we will see what the coaches and players are made of on this next road trip....
Trying to hang in there as a fan....
