Most Disliked Valley Coach

[Championz]

With apologies to the OP this is kind of a dumb thread/poll. And it's silly for opposing fanbases to square off about. Who cares if your coach is disliked? It probably means he's doing something right.

I think you're the most logic-based poster on this board.

Probably because Jacobson hasn't had nearly as much success as Marshall. Easy math.

He's had more success than every other coach, but has yet to garner a single vote.

Hmmmmm....maybe there's more to being disliked than just jealousy?

This was the most predictable poll in MVCfans history. It was a loaded question and was put out their by an obviously bored EU fan.

It's pretty obvious everybody will dislike the person who has owned them for the better part of 5 years. That's not rocket science. WSU has clearly dominated this league. Marshall has led the way for WSU. Thus, everybody hates him. Kinda like the Yankees. And it's also the reason why nobody hates the Astros.

You seem to be on a roll tonight? Could be an interesting year in Cedar Falls next year.

Then why are all the WSU fans voting for Muller and not Jacobson?

Then why are all the WSU fans voting for Muller and not Jacobson?

Firstly, Jacobson hasn't owned WSU. He has the best success against WSU but certainly doesn't own them.

And secondly, Muller's team was clearly the best in the Valley. He even voted as such. Gotta hate the guy who at least makes up the fact that he's had success against WSU.

Next.

I hate all ISUR fans I know (the only ones I know are on message boards) and Mueller. They want to be acknowledged and given pats on backs for not doing anything. All they've been taught to do is to be thugs. They have done nothing in the non-con. for the MVC. UNI have earned some respect for what they've accomplished on the court. Just my 2 cents.

This is such a stupid thread, so I will vote for Altman.

You "hate" Redbird fans? You "hate" Dan Muller****? You need a new hobby.

So you are saying there is more to disliking a coach than jealousy?

That's weird. A bunch of WSU fans are convinced otherwise.

How doesn't he keep them accountable? What actions have the guys on the team shown this year that is terrifying?

Daishon Knight punched a woman in the face for no reason and was suspended for an exhibition game. Did not miss one minute of a game that Muller needed to win.

In what way has he kept anyone accountable? What actions have the guys on the team shown that were positive? Having a one year streak of not having anyone arrested?

We're not sure of the reason or the specifics of the situation that occurred, but following that incident

“Daishon has done everything he has been asked to do within the program and on campus, and it is nice to have him back fully reinstated

He did everything that was asked of him from the school, authorities, and Dan. He hasn't had any problem since then, not even a little one so it seems like more of one bad mistake where a kid needed a second chance and has obviously grown from it. As for keeping kids accountable, Middlebrooks didn't do what he needed to in the classroom so he didn't play, Lofton was a cancer to the team so he didn't play, Ransom broke team violations suspended. Dan runs a tight ship and if you aren't putting in the effort in practice and being a good teammate u won't play. As for actions that are positive here's a good story that came about from one of the charity events the team did in the summer. http://www.pantagraph.com/sports/colleg ... ee41c.html
The team does many events with local schools, talking to kids and hanging out with them at recess or such to make their days and be role models. Going on a water walk to raise money for people in Africa etc. Have actually talked to guys on the team and they've even said that they have grown a lot as a person under Muller. Not exactly a team of thugs and "questionable characters" that they're made out to be besides those few headcases.

Can we rename this "The troll thread". Clearly that is what it is for.

Yup, does that answer your snarky questions?

Come on, rlh. I typically enjoy your posts but stop acting like you know everything that goes on at Illinois State and quit categorizing a bunch of college aged kids as horrible human beings. It's disturbing.
