If would pay attention you would realize why he finally is going to retire after this year

Please elaborate.

As much as her coaching style and personality are truly not my cup of tea--this shows the immediate impact that a dynamic coach can have on a team!

I think you need women like Kim and Dawn setting the pace for TOUGH players. There is a lot of social BS that is being over me when women coach women to be fighters. And she would have been a great hire back when she was interested in coming here. I'm glad she is coaching in the SEC. We need the best coaches in our league.

Shows you that Nikki Fargas left her a full cupboard of great talent and the transfer portal did the rest -

Maybe. But he had a great career and won a national title and helped a lot of basketball players over the years.

Curious ... what do you do for a living?

I blame the administration and specifically the AD. Same for Childress. This is business. Blair has had a cheer leading group in the community for years. Friends are friends and business is business. This is business.
Hopefully it doesn't happen with Buzz.

Looks like a complete overhaul in store the day after the last game. I hope Bjork has a quality replacement signed sealed and delivered.

He retires the year after Vic got a job in Texas which he wanted to do. He really wanted the A&M job. I will always wonder for some reason Blair did not want him to come to A&M. As head coach

I'm pretty sure it wasn't his choice to retire. I think GB would still be our coach next year if something wasn't already in the works. Just my 2 cents.

During halftime of the last home game, they showed a video of many coaches from around the country giving accolades to Gary. I didn't see Vic.

I think of the many times Blair pumped up Vic and kept saying someone should hire him as a head coach. When someone did, then Blair helped push the player from Brenham Vic's way when she couldn't qualify here. Vic repaid him by encouraging our malcontent Lashes to come to Mississippi State-even leaving Muster to get back to Starkville to make it happen.

That was the cherry on top of running up the score. That's my opinion why there doesn't appear to be any love lost. And it's one person's opinion. I'm sure there are others.

If I were a head coach I would try to beat every team I played by the largest margin possible. It baffles me that people are butt hurt over the score of a basketball game. A loss is a loss. Doesn't matter if it's by 1 or 51. Good on Vic for kicking our butt. If we don't like it, play better, coach harder. Vic owes us nothing. He was doing his job. Nobody is owed anything. If you are paid $1million plus per year you are expected to compete and compete hard. Accept the accolades as well as the criticism.

With regards to this season, I'm more upset with our players than coach Blair. They have really let our old ball coach down. If we see any of our starters back next season I will be shocked.

Not if his last comment on the subject is meaningful. Getting contacted by lots of agents of coaches because Texas A&M is in the SEC, had a great run with Blair, etc. He says we were underpaying Blair and will have to pay more. All in the most recent Town Hall.

Oh yeah…said a decision/announcement is likely to be delayed by tournament season.

nobody seemed to care when we ran it up on Vic his first year at MSU. If memory serves me and I may be wrong, I thought we where the higher ranked team on the run it up game everyone on here is so mad about. If not I'm pretty sure we where both ranked.

if you don't like it, stop it.

Thank you Rudybryan. I know that you have had skin in the game and care deeply for this program. Thank you for your continuing support and sending Sydney to us.
I am grateful to Coach Blair for all that he has done for WBB at Texas A&M.
Outscored maybe, but never beaten!
