Apparently we can look forward to an SP interview with Whitford this week. With the recent failure of a 11th place finish, and the long term failure of just two total MAC tourney wins in 6 years, you know the interview will be an exercise in excuse-making, blame-ducking, and subject-changing. I mean....what else would he talk about? Since this will be the third time many of us have experienced the sorry spectacle of a idiotically-extended coach BSing his way through his lame duck years, the board should be able to predict what his go to excuse will be.
For example, I forecast that when he brings up his injury issues, he will NOT acknowledge how his own roster management put him in a precarious position.

I don't think he should use any of these. Fact is when Huggy Bear cut the man bun off the season went to hell. That is the excuse he needs to use. Huggins lopped off the man bun and we lost our mojo.

You can absolutely trace it back to that. We even lamented his doing it as we understood what was going to happen. Like Samson cutting his hair.

Dakich is totally shredding Archie Miller today. Common themes? Lack of toughness in program. Lack of passion and effort. Lack of an effective offensive set up. Lack of understanding how to play d. Etc. He straight up said Miller doesn’t know what the hell he’s doing. Lack of IU basketball standing for anything/being known for something. Lack of pride. Ripped the administration for not caring.
Any of that sound familiar?

Would probably sound very familiar to any BG fans who were around for Dakich's last five seasons when he finished 9th, 7th, 8th, 10th and 12th.
Combine those results with Dakich being an excuse-making, blame-shifting, whiney bitch and I'm sure those years were a whole lot of fun up there.
Note that those 5 seasons were immediately following the West Virginia thing. My guess is that after the West Virginia thing, Dakich decided that it proved he was God's gift to Bowling Green, and there was no reason for him to work especially hard anymore. He could just win through showing up and his natural awesomeness. He probably also figured that any kid that wasn't beating down the door to play for super Coach Dakich was too stupid to be worth perusing, so why should Dakich knock himself out on the aggravating recruiting trail, chasing after a lot of stupid kids?
As bad as things have been here, I don't imagine we've had to suffer through a comparatively bad 5 year period.

Dakich still blames those results on injuries to his best players every year.

As bad as things have been here, I don't imagine we've had to suffer through a comparatively bad 5 year period. I stopped listening to his show about a year ago and unfollowed him on twitter. He has always been an arrogant ass, a know-it-all, bully and just a general creep. I know he has fanboys who drool over him, especially some of the old IU diehards but his "truth" is always about calling out someone else and never about his own personal accountability. His track record as a coach and his personal life are not exactly shining examples of truth.

Hypothetical for the group: Would you rather have Dan Dakich or Ronnie Thompson as coach at BSU? Or maybe option three: get kicked in the nuts every day for a year by Adam Vinatieri.

Man, those are terrible choices. As much as I hate the arrogant, self-important jerk that Dakich is, I'd choose anyone over Racist Thompson.

Hypothetical for Sherm. Would you rather have one of your nards chewed off by a rabid badger 🦡 or stick a catheter coated with habanero pepper sauce in your man hole? Or get a prostate exam from Mike Ditka daily? That’s your reward for this kind of evil hypothetical.
