I’m all for being upset about this, but blaming Jenn is stupid and absolutely shortsighted. She is literally evaluating the athletic department considering she just got here in July. And our athletic department needs a thorough adjustment from top to bottom. Also, none of us know the contract situations of these coaches and we all know that we d**n sure can’t afford a buyout. It’s simple… If Mary Tendler doesn’t perform next year, get rid of her If Charlotte Smith doesn’t perform next year, get rid of her If Kathy Bocock struggles this season and next year, get rid of her If Billy Taylor doesn’t perform next year, get rid of him And this can be said for almost all the coaches, except Ellison, Leonard, Anderson, Hill, and (in my opinion) Trisciani. As a fan, you are absolutely allowed to be pissed but expecting someone to immediately alter 17 years of mediocrity is truly insane. I'm not blaming Strawley for where we are, but there is simply no reason for taking a year or two to assess anything when it comes to Tendler or Bocock or anyone else who has been here 10 or 20 years and not delivered. She can see the same results we've seen. It's spelled out on the athletics website under each coaches profile. Why does the clock start over for a 5-22 Mary Tendler with a career losing record just because a new AD arrived? She's going to suddenly become a championship coach in year 23 or whatever is coming up? No one expects her to clean house, but she doesn't need a year to see what's apparent to everyone here. Me calling her out is for the same old Elon approach to things. Until Strawley does something, anything of note, I'm going to assume she's the same as Blank. The house is on fire and we're painting the walls. Businesses fail all the time for these reasons. Can't address what's right in front of you. We're investors and not happy. I want nothing more than Strawley to prove me wrong. I'd love to be wrong. I'll be her biggest fan. We're not getting any younger and this is getting old. Go Phoenix!

I'd add Kennedy to that list even though the baseball team is not what it used to be. He could have bolted when he was having all that success and didn't. Even when they are struggling it's usually just for a year or two and they rebound with a good season. Go Phoenix!

Baseball has been mediocre for some time now. Just saying. Kennedy is nothing special

Kennedy should be coronated for what he’s done at Elon. 11.7 scholarships over 27 players in a league where a walk on at a school like UNCW will pay about half of what a half scholarship player will pay at Elon. Leave Kennedy alone.
However, there probably needs to be a couple of low hanging fruits cut in order get those programs out of the perennial cellar and to motivate the others.

Woke up this morning and our rent-a-wreck, scrap heap men’s coach is still employed by Elon. What’s one more year going to do? The answer is nothing. Can him already and move on!

Want to know how bad Hampton is (hint: they are horrible), check out the halftime score of the Delaware game.

Charleston won the CAA tourney. Had two close calls in the semis and finals. I'm glad they won though. They have the best chance of making some noise in the NCAA tourney.
Additionally, Joyner (15 seasons & 3 NCAA appearances all in the MEAC) is out at Hampton and Fischer (5 seasons) out at W&M.
Go Phoenix!
