Blazer49 184 Report post Posted March 13, 2019 What was left on his contract? I know they should have a decent year next year but if he had only one or two years left on a contract it is kind of hard to recruit. New guy with those players have a better chance beyond 2019-2020 season than keeping him for one more year with possibility it does not work out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TSU88 1,073 Report post Posted March 13, 2019 1 hour ago, Tgr4life said: You can tell it is a new AD at William and Mary. Previous AD’s viewed the school for what it is academically and woul rarely if ever fire a coach for not winning. They are a unique school and while athletics is important, not nearly as important as graduating Presidents, Congressmen and CEO’s. Without using our friend Mr. Google, who were the 3 presidents who graduated from W&M? No question W&M is a fine academic school & having 3 former Presidents as grads speaks for itself, but how many colleges actually existed in the U.S. when those 3 went there?

TuTigers2012 1,062 Report post Posted March 14, 2019 (edited) Cash strapped WM is paying Tony a lot of money to not coach... Good for them, not settling for mediocrity! Edited March 14, 2019 by TuTigers2012 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TSU88 1,073 Report post Posted March 14, 2019 In all fairness, I assume W&M, with its well heeled alum, is in a much better position to eat salary than we are. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TUvet 19 Report post Posted March 14, 2019 As someone who has spent 36 years in the coaching profession at both the high school and collegiate level I completely agree with John Feinstein. Tony Shaver is a really good coach. John Feinstein @JFeinsteinBooks Replying to @D1scourse There IS no argument for a coaching change. Tony Shaver's an outstanding coach--and a better man. NO ARGUMENT 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

El Tigre Oro 86 Report post Posted March 14, 2019 i’ve always thought that Skerry/Shaver should hire whomever gets fired first. I think they would complement each other. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
