00:02 - Why'd they hire him, J-Wall?
00:04 What'd they hire him for
00:05 if that's all it was gonna take to get rid of him?
00:07 - To me, I think he lost the locker room.
00:11 And I've been at experience where I've seen coaches,
00:14 I was in a locker room where my boss lost the locker room.
00:17 And when you lose the locker room, there's no turning back.
00:19 Because the kids have so much more power
00:22 than they have in the past, right?
00:25 So when you look at Jawan Howard,
00:27 his track record of winning, I agree.
00:30 But I think between the locker room
00:33 and then the incidents, Greg Gard last year,
00:37 strength and conditioning coach this year.
00:38 And I think that it was a culmination of things
00:43 that led to his dismissal.
00:45 Now, do I think maybe he should have got another year?
00:48 Maybe, but I'm not surprised, Kevin, that he got let go.
00:53 College has pulled the plug on these coaches
00:55 a lot faster than you think.
00:58 Why, folks?
00:59 Because the NIL and the transfer portal
01:02 has ruined college sports.
01:04 And now boosters, especially with NIL money
01:07 and the ability to bring transfers in,
01:08 can funnel money into programs.
01:10 It's why I think at times,
01:12 Kyle Neptune could always be in trouble at Villanova.
01:15 I get it, he's gonna get more time.
01:16 Mike Woodson, another guy with no collegiate experience.
01:21 I think he's in trouble at Indiana.
01:22 Maybe he gets another year.
01:23 He's just looking for the top five recruit.
01:25 So to me, Jawan did win.
01:28 And I'm not taking it away from him.
01:30 And I think he brought some kind of tradition.
01:33 But the other thing people are gonna say is,
01:35 well, who was before Jawan Howard?
01:37 Right?
01:38 It was, I think, there was someone before.
01:40 Was it Beeline?
01:40 I don't know if it was someone between Beeline and him.
01:43 But to me, people, you start to look at
01:46 after a couple of years, Kevin,
01:48 when the previous year's coaches,
01:51 the previous coach's kids start to leave.
01:54 And then you gotta start to win with your guys.
01:57 And I think that's the thing that's sort of happening.
01:59 Last year, not good.
02:00 Gregorians, this year fall off a cliff.
02:02 I'm not saying he deserved to be let go.
02:05 I'm just saying I'm not surprised he got let go
02:08 based on the record and what's been going on at Michigan.
