Reasons:
After beating 8-0 Miami at home, Harvard comes in and crushes the Eagles in the same building! The Eagles are missing free throws, something pretty basic for any coaching staff to teach.
They lost to St. Joe's. 'Nuff said.
He decided not to bring any sort of pressure on Harvard in the final minutes until it was too late.
Too many WTF's. You can't blame it on the players anymore. Al has been doing this as long as he has been here.
Why Not?:
Great recruiter. Can really find good players.
Is excellent at player developement.
Who would take over? Pat DuQuette?

Al knows there are no consequences to losing from the admin and the players know there are no consequences from al. that's a bad formula.
eepstein0 {l Wrote}:Glad some of you are coming around to my point of you. Skinner is a fucking awful coach. There is a lot of talent on this team but it goes to waste with such a useless coach. I really don't give a damn who we hire if Al somehow gets fired. He's a fine evaluator of talent, but fucking cluelsss as a coach.
Fire Skinner.
eepstein0 {l Wrote}:Al Skinner in a nutshell:
2 WTF Wins (@ Mich. and believe it or not, we're going to beat Duke or UNC once)
2 WTF Losses ( St. Joe's & Harvard)
This type of crap shouldn't be tolerated anymore. HIre Pat Duquette sure, go get Anthony Grant from VCU. Just hire someone who actually gives a damn

That being said, if Al Skinner is fired or calls it quits on his own, who here has any faith in Gene DeFillipo to make a great hire? Any young up and comers you can think of? Think again.

This is a moot point because unfortunately Gene will never fire Skinner. I really don't want Pat Duqette in there frankly. Strange suggestion but Jim Larranaga, the HC at George Mason would be a good choice but for the fact he's 58 years old.

15Radnor {l Wrote}:By the way, I am friends with many prominent refs around the NCAA and they are baffled at Skinner's "coaching." So it's not just BC fans who hold him in such poor regards.

You are the fucking tard who can't come up a legitimate reason with why you excruciate the football staff yet accept not moving past the Sweet 16 in Hoops. Please differentiate. And don't say because Al won a regular season championship. The only thing that matters is March. MERRYMAN.

Because football is not hoop. Only a fucking retard would try to compare the two. Fuck Roy Williams and his national title, he LOST TO SANTA CLARA THAT YEAR! There are 320+ hoop teams, only 120 football, and of those 120, 60+ are terrible. Half of all football teams make bowls. 64 of 320 make the tourney. Of the 145 or so legit hoop programs, about 36 or so can make the tourney. Basketball is a 5 man game. One injury can fuck your season. You can't afford misses in recruiting because you have only 12 schollies total as opposed to 20-25 per year.
And Al won 2 regular season titles and a BE tourney title, 3 things the football team has never done. BC consistently finishes in the top of the best big conference in America (the football team might be in the worst, by the way).
