I saw him Saturday night in Athens. Awesome..thank you I know he really loves the custard at Whit's! Seriously, I agree with some of the other posters that he may be the rare bird who sticks around to see how far he can take his alma mater -- perhaps, in the same mold as the new football coach at NIU, who just out and out says he plans to be there until they fire him, which after his first week doesn't look likely any time soon! ;-) The only BLSS Certified Hypocrite on BA "It is better to be an optimist and be proven a fool than to be a pessimist and be proven right."

And, I'll add that I think JP will be very supportive of the program as an alumnus. From various statements he's made he appears to be very grateful the change he was given at OHIO.

I'm not clear on why you interpreted what I said to mean that Jason Preston didn't like playing for Jeff Boals. Nothing I said implied that. My point's simply that NBA talent doesn't roll through Athens all that often, and we had NBA talent on our roster last year. We won't next year. And because of that, the poster suggesting that Jeff Boals should try and win a national championship in Athens may be a tad bit overzealous. There's a whole lot of surface area between winning an NCAA tournament game with a PG who leaves early for the NBA draft, and national championship. Nothing about that observation is a reflection on Jason Preston's feelings about Jeff Boals.

Nothing about that observation is a reflection on Jason Preston's feelings about Jeff Boals. I did not interpret it that way at all. Of course, Preston loved playing for Boals. Yes…there was luck with Preston being NBA talent, but he become NBA talent after two years of coaching with Boals. Preston wasn’t NBA ready the day Boals met him at his introductory presser. #BleedGreen #TrentIsGOAT Back to Top GoCats105 General User Member Since: 1/31/2006 Location: Seattle, WA Post Count: 6,913 Status: Offline     RE: Jeff Boals    Posted: 9/10/2021 2:41:32 PM  JSF wrote: Given recent news, I think we need to worry about losing Boals to Gonazaga.

Maybe I'm being optimistic, but: 1.Few's DUI hasn't gotten a lot of attention on sports talk out here. But, the people who have talked about it, think Few has a better then better then 50/50 chance of Gonzaga keeping him, at least for this season. 2.Given his tenure there, if they do fire him, they may stay "in house" for their next coach. 3.Given the status of their program, if Few does go, they may want a "name". Of course that could start a domino effect. 3.I know money talks, but Gonzaga is a long way from Ohio. I also don't know how well Boals can recruit out there. Last, but not least, I have me fingers crossed and my rabbit's foot out. :-) Last Edited: 9/10/2021 3:44:20 PM by rpbobcat Back to Top cc-cat General User Member Since: 4/5/2006 Location: matthews, NC Post Count: 3,821 Status: Offline     RE: Jeff Boals    Posted: 9/10/2021 11:16:36 PM  Few is very safe.

I maintain we must closely watch OSU and hope they stay mediocre. I think for the next few years while his kids are still not quite grown, that might be the only job he bolts for. After that, the sky is the limit.

The University and Alumni base MUST do whatever it takes to support and retain Coach Boals. If we can't cough up a couple million a year than we don't deserve to have a high caliber, long-term head coach.
