re: MBB : Early conference play opinion

What we’re seeing from some fans is a drastic drop in expectations which is never good. What is McMahon’s standard exactly? Do we expect him to be as successful as Brown or Wade or even Brady because what it looks like is the expectation is for him to be somewhere between Johnny Jones and Trent johnson. Jones inherited a much worse situation and in year 1 won 19 games and in all but his final year equaled or surpassed that number. He was fired for lack of meeting expectations but now it seems as though a lot of our fans would be overjoyed if coach Mac can even match that. So far in both seasons we’ve underachieved based on the roster but for some reason we’re acting like he’s doing a great job with nothing when that’s the opposite of what’s happening. Celebrating 3-2 just because we were one of the worst 3 P5 teams in the country last season is a perversion of success regardless of if you want to believe in the “dark cloud” theory or not.
