And only time will tell. But I do believe many ODU fans are a little delusional thinking they are going to get back to the old glory days.
This has nothing to do with delusion and glory days. This has to do with walking the walk and not just talking the talk. She talked and did little walking. Then, left the program with barely enough players to field a team. I can understand moving on. She left a wake of emptiness. Great person, very motivational, but the results are not congruent.

She was 10 games above .500 overall in her time there, i think any of us here would take that right now!
OOC record was padded with easy wins. Look to see what she did against good teams. We were never competitive.
Like the previous poster said, she is an energetic coach, a friendly lady, but she can’t coach her way out of a paper bag.
Her coaching strategy was give Simms the ball and have her create. Simms shouldn’t have been at ODU, so she was worth 30 points by herself. Look at the games where we were leading and lost. Other team made adjusts and KB never did.
And the two transfers you got from ODU... not very good.
I'll never understand why grown adults would go to another school's forum to throw shade at a coach that left their program. If she's that bad, you should be happy she's gone and not really think about her that much and focus on the coach and team you have now.
Then you take it a step further and drop shade on some college players.
I'm sure in your real life everyone loves you and you're too amazing for the rest of us.
Feel free to run along now.
I didn’t “drop shade” on any players. That’s not my style. As for coach, what she did was pretty much equivalent of a parent leaving her family in the middle of the night as the sole bread winner. Perhaps she knew that she was going to be asked to leave. Who knows? But she picked up and left the family and put them in a very tough position. I’m not wishing I’ll will, but I’m certainly not pulling for great success right away.
As for the student athletes, like I said, I didn’t mention them at all. However, I do wish them all the best.
