Porter still has a good reputation in the basketball world. To us, he's the guy that couldn't get it done at OU. Outside OU, he's the guy that took Loyola to the Final Four.
I'm so tired of hearing this. I seriously doubt any legit program would even consider hiring him. He will have to go back to the mid (or low) major level once he is finally gone from OU. I don't care if he has friends in the profession.
A friend of mine used to be involved in the Indiana program. We were talking the other day and he was asking if they could take Porter from us. When I explained why the answer was, yes, he changed his tune a bit. Porter is going to have to take a step down before he takes a step back up.
Not even close to the same situation. A lot of people are going to eat crow after football season this year.
He will indeed have to go to a lower level if he wants to be a head coach again. I'm just saying he has a very good reputation outside OU circles.
Sources? I mean, if he had a very good reputation as a coach, those people would hire him. Liking him doesn't mean people think he is a good coach at this level.
He’ll go to work at espn as an analyst. Greenberg couldn’t cut it as a coach either. He’ll be the Mack brown of their basketball broadcasts.
won't happen mid season. No way
It should be pretty obvious that the final four run was a fluke
Agreed
This is my hope.
Probably not the people you expect, after a season where they will have to bust their butts to make a bowl.
Lots of fans from other teams have interest in Porter Moser. That Final Four goes a long way, whether or not he is a good person, he still has that rep from Loyola.
Oh I don’t doubt that fans think that way. But if the poster was suggesting schools/ADs at any major programs still think of him as a really good coach, I would call BS on that. They may say nice things about him because that’s what people do, but people who pay attention see what has happened here.
He's a good coach, sometimes you just have to find a good level/fit.
He had his shot at the big leagues. He failed. It was his first high major job at 55 years old. He’s going back to his level.
He is a good coach but I believe his strength as a coach is building teams over time and not rebuilding a team every year. What college basketball is now does not play to his strengths.
Good coaches have teams who can inbound the ball. Good coaches have offensive schemes that work. Good coaches get the most out of the players they have. Good coaches make good thoughtful substitutions during games. Good coaches have teams who close out halves well. Moser does none of these things. He sucks.
good coaches have players that improve as the year goes on ..
Yep, that and the never-ending revolving door substitutions make it tough to get in a groove and stay in it.
