I want UTEP to do well regardless of who is coaching them. Fool.That's right fools. Do we really want PJ to do so well that he will be considered as the next head coach?
Better to clean house and start fresh like the football team is. If PJ gets the head coaching gig, you can expect mediocre to bad results as long as he is coach.
In terms of recruiting for next year, unfortunately, it would be nearly impossible for the current staff to get any type of commitments. Realistically, no recruit would even think about committing with the uncertainty on the coach/staff next year. Same deal as with football.I've think the team will be 8-6 going into 2018. If that happens then we will be 2-0 in CUSA and on a roll. Same could have happened with Floyd (based on last year), but a change was needed. Like Shovelman says though, its NCAA or bust for me.
Also, if the miners get to the NCAA it will be a conundrum for Senter in regards to the next coach. IMO we need to start over but I'm not rooting against Johnson per say. Do you all think this staff will even attempt to recruit for next year?

No one's been a success at San Jose they have no basketball tradition and haven't won since that I'm aware of. I'm simply curious how he does this year and that will tell alot, if he get this team in NCAA or NIT after how it started I'm ok with him. He is not as hard headed aw Floyd and played to the teams strengths.Johnson was here from the start of the Floyd era when we 13 Seniors on scholarship and another 4 seniors who were walk-ons and all of the student trainers were seniors and the student managers were seniors. The expectations were high and were never close to being met. That's why many people don't like him returning.
Others think he wasn't a success at SJSU and therefore we can do better.
And then you have the camp that thinks Senter should bring in one of 'his guys.'
I happen to like Johnson. I just think it's not going to happen for him no matter what he does.
To be fair to Johnson, I think the fast tempo team of two years ago was Johnson's brainchild. Johnson seems less stubborn than Floyd when it comes to x's and o's.
If he gets the team to win the conference and the players love him and want him back, then I would say at that point he'd earn a shot. But that's a really high standard, anything else and bring in someone new.
The point zone was a Braswell idea and he coached it.That's the way I remember it, too. Also, didn't Floyd credit Johnson with the much improved defensive play either a year or two ago?
Definitely not saying hire the guy. In fact I'm inclined to say start over at season's end. But I'm rooting for PJ guide these guys to a strong showing in CUSA play...and hopefully beyond.

I was hoping this would be a football thread.
