Evansville fires Walter McCarty

[VUGrad1314]

I feel bad for whoever takes over next. Low pay and no talent.

No talent? This team beat Kentucky and almost took out SMU. If they retain everyone and can stabilize themselves they're going to be fine.

Obligatory victory lap post

Wasn’t there a tweet summer of ‘18 about McCarty and bars but no one took it seriously? Maybe that had legs after all?

Mark Spencer is a terrific AD so UE is in good hands.

Not having Lickliter hurts bad right now.

I'd rather have Graves than Lick. He's got to be at the top of the list of replacements, if it comes to that.

What good would Lickleiter do?

It's hard to say because it's a different game now than it was 12 15 20 years ago and his tenure at Iowa was nothing short of a disaster and his time at Marian was okay but not exactly inspiring but I would take a guy with his resume (2 Sweet 16s and a National Coach of the Year) in a heartbeat if I'm trying to revive a program especially if my other option is a guy who was 23 games under .500 with a Sun Belt team. He took Butler out of the doldrums if the administration and city of Evansville are behind making the Purple Aces a winner I think he would be one of their best available chances at making it happen.

I'm guessing Walter and Todd are no longer friends.

Were they ever? I look at it this way: Lickliter wanted back into coaching, McCarty needed someone with experience on his staff to show him the ropes It was a marriage of convenience. Now Lickliter has what he wants since he had to know firsthand what a loose cannon McCarty was.

Im sure Todd Lickliter played NO part in collecting information about McCarty's actions. None whatsoever.

I think Lick is too old and the wrong gender for Wally to want to hang with him.

I'll definitely be tuning in. This episode should be good.

Who knows, but I'm pretty sure the most damaging information came from the ones who were directly involved in the recent incidents. Lickliter wasn't here. WM made the mistakes, not Lickliter.

Kanaskie got screwed! Now Bennie Seltzer can’t match his record...
