Why is no one talking about USF's coach getting fired?

The guy that beat Lebo twice?

He is just in year 2. Lebo has been at ECU since 2010.

Antigua will get fired before he accumulates a record that compares to Lebo's .

What's Antigua's contract situation look like...did he get an initial 5 year deal?

Lebo's record is 99-100

Antigua's is 16-47

His clock is ticking. He actually started out in the AAC as opposed to CUSA.
Lebo's record is very consistent with his Auburn record, which is actually a little better than his ECU record if you believe that. If you believe he is all of a sudden going to 'break out' and make the post season, I'd like to know what trend you are following.
He lost to Antigua twice this year... once at Minges.
I think we all acknowledge the difference in being in year 2 of your coaching career versus being in year 18 (with not one year in the tournament).

Just seems like USF AD should be answering on Antigua at this point.

At the 2 year mark? He beat that juggernaut Lebo. 03-lmfao Doesn't that mean anything?

(Lebo is obviously the worst coach in the conference.)

16-47...and you are not asking questions?

I'm fine with criticism of Lebo, but let's not let the other guy off the hook. USF is hurting the AAC just as much as ECU is, probably more...and USF has more of a tradition, was in the Big East for a long time...and is 16-47 the last two years.

That hire has failed...just a question of when it is admitted.

How does what any other programs hire does impact the ECU situation? Because USF chose a guy that it looks like after 2 seasons he may or may not work out that’s the justification for ECU to keep a coach who has a proven track record of below average results over a 6 year period?

Typical response from the fans (not all but what seems like many) of the worst program in the conference who is confirming they have no commitment to basketball. “We know our program is a disaster but we can’t make a change because look what’s happening at USF”. Typical small time response.

You haven't been paying attention. I've been asking questions all season.
Nevertheless, Lebo has already had a full 18 year career to base an opinion on. No tournaments. He epitomizes dead wood. His wins are against the RPI dregs of college basketball and actually hurt the conference.
Antigua will get his walking papers before year six if he has Lebo results. He did beat Lebo twice though, so he's not quite at that defcon level yet.

RE: Did Jeff Lebo get a vote of confidence from ECU AD Jeff Compher?
I asked the question about USF, because you have been on a crusade to ask questions about the bottom 4 of the league and how they will improve. And also Memphis. Memphis and ECU and USF have NOT fired their coaches even though they all had bad years...Memphis for their standard.

So, I am just adding to the content, because you did not come out in the OP saying that ECU should fire Lebo (I know you want that), you asked if the AD has offered up anything similar to what Memphis had done.

I am furthering the conversation to include USF, because by all accounts, their coach has been horrible. I don't see that it is out of line and, honestly, it should have been included in your OP, IMO...unless you are just on a crusade against one particular program and not just in the best interests of the American Conference as a whole.

Sadly, who's going to come play at ECU when you can play at Duke, unc or even state or wake. It's the sad current reality of basketball at ECU. We need someone who can sell the program and recruit.

Oh stfu with that bull****. Do you even bother looking at UNC and Duke rosters. Most aren't even from NC, especially at Duke. I'm so tired of this half added excuse getting trotted out time and time and time again.

Ffs, do some research on how many quality players from NC and up in the A10, CAA, CUSA and even other AAC schools. NC is loaded with basketball talent and they all can't play in the ACC.

For example, the Cincy/St Joe's game had 4 or 5 players from NC either starting or getting significant minutes. FOUR played for St. Joes. One was from Williamston right up the road from ECU.I guarantee that they had no clue where that school even was before they were recruited.

Lebo missed on Gary Clark at Cincy. He missed out on Akeem Richmond to friggin Rhode Island. Luckily he got homesick. We lost Bazemore to ODU. PLENTY of others have ended up at UNCC, VCU, UNCG, UNCA and lesser ACC schools. Simply put, you have NO ******* idea what you're talking about.

Lebo should have been **** canned after failing to reach the NCAA or NIT in 2013. That team was one of the most talented we ever had. Instead he pissed it away into a sorry ass CIT and got extended. Its a joke for that to happen.

Sadly, ECU has not had a men's basketball coach that could come close to building a program since Eddie Payne left for the West Coast. Even Bill Herrion who was popular amongst students and fanbase was just a used car salesman that made you feel good when you were around him but "after you drive off the lot" or evaluate the program, you realize what you had was not that great.

If you can't see the difference in the situations then that's a you problem. Trying to deflect our idiotic decision to apparently keep Lebo around by saying "well Memphis and USF aren't firing their coaches" is disingenuous. Yes the OP is a troll that has basically made his name for himself for years running down ECU under multiple different usernames, but he's right Lebo is a failure and every second we keep him around is setting our program further and further back.

Because they just hired him, dumba$$. They also didn't give him a 7 year extension. Jeez.

If we don't shitcan Lebo I wouldn't blame the AAC for kicking us out. We poor mouth but ffs, we start a nonrevenue sport. I don't know wtf is going on at my school anymore.

Life as a g5 is tough. I applaud Temple for doing what it takes to compete at the 2 sports that really matter. Wish we had followed their lead.

1)USF's coach has been there only 2 years.
2)If ECU can make a change in the program that WASN'T hurting the league (football*), how can they not make a change in the program that IS hurting the league.
3)Take it as a sign of respect. If fans didn't think ECU was capable of winning, they wouldn't bother "suggesting" you get a new coach.

*Not only was he not hurting the league, he was helping the league with his OOC wins. The "failing" was in-conference.

RE: Did Jeff Lebo get a vote of confidence from ECU AD Jeff Compher?
Lebo was given an extension just prior to going into the AAC based on his work in CUSA going 74-61 in 4 years.

Has gone 25-39 in his first two years in the American.

In 2014 he was given a 7 year contract. Certainly looks like a mistake now...no question.

Antigua was hired two years ago...his record is 16-47.

He was given a 5 year contract in 2014. He is making about 900K a year. Stan Heath was making $1.1 mill

So USF would have to pay out Antigua's contract if they fired him now, with three years left.

ECU has 5 years left on Lebo's deal.

Why on earth are we on focusing on ECU buying out Lebo for 5 years and NOT Antigua for 3 years?

You cant have it both ways...you cant say Antigua needs more time in the American and not give Lebo more time. Call for BOTH of them to be fired.

Did you even think about this? First off, that's not really a good record. Secondly, CUSA was a 1 bid league and he played some of the worst OOC schedules in the country. D2, D3 and NAIA games shouldn't even count. Smh

I didn't make the deal...I saw no reason for the extension at the time. Just stating it.

Obviously my point was that in order for American basketball to get better BOTH of those programs need to get better. ECU owes 5 years to its coach and USF only owes 3 years to its coach...but everyone solely seems to focus on ECU, when USF's has been worse.

The reality is likely neither is doing anything, because of the financial realities....and neither is Memphis. Fans are going to have to accept that OR stroke a check.

Your third point is where I fall in on this topic. Honestly I bring things up because I think ECU really can be a top 100 program on a fairly consistently basis and getting inside the top 150 should be pretty realistic given the resources that come along with being in the AAC.

With the potential fan support in a basketball crazy state like NC I would even go as far as saying it would be an easier turn around than UCF, USF and Tulane by quite a bit. All it will take is a line in the sand decision and commitment to doing it.
