Not sure what you are suggesting. I think CBR is a great coach who will eventually bring a Socon tourney championship and a trip to the dance. If he leaves, there is no reason to think the program would turn into a dumpster fire... Medved left and BR kept it going. The culture is there. I imagine whoever is next will keep the culture and JD will expect success almost immediately.

Several coaching positions have already been filled. According to espn Charleston is currently concentrating on current sitting head coaches and will begin interviewing next week. Not good.

I might be way off here, but I think CBR is staying at FU for now...His PG is coming back and a great class signed...Noah and Bothwell back...I think it would take a power five job to override all that...Again, I could be wrong...CofC wouldn't be hiring CBR long term...As successful as he's been, why stay?... So then why would CofC make a short term hire knowing that...Joel Justus is who I think will get the job.

Reports out that Col. of Charleston will hire Winthrop coach Pat Kelsey for twice what he was getting in Rock Hill.

I guess CofC is about twice as big, but they are too broke to be paying that much.
What real knowledge or evidence do you have about CofC being “broke”? I have observed no such information.

Bet everyone here would have bet Kelsey was making more than CBR. Obviously not the case.
Not me. CBR is highest paid coach in the SoCon and has the biggest asst coaches comp pool.

Laughable. CofC is far from being broke. https://www.fitchratings.com/research/u ... 24-02-2021
Interesting. Not the story students and parents get. And I didn’t mean they were bankrupt. I just meant that paying a basketball coach $650k seemed unwise.

About Us

GoPaladins.com is the latest iteration of The Unofficial Furman Football Page. Launched in August of 1996, The UFFP welcomes fans of all FCS football teams - and fans of the more inferior sports, too - for discussion, cameraderie, and even the occasional smack talk.

For example, Furman has nearly twice as many Southern Conference football championships as the next best SoCon member, and over three times as many as The Citadel....which is why they must carry our luggage
