GO BEACH!!!
I really think the program lost the mojo a while back. However a few here were absolutely toxic with statements of calling Monson "a loser" and other personal comments which are beyond the pail.
Anyone thinking Monson didn't want to win? Lead a good program?
Whether the NCAA appearances should have been more plentiful - no kidding.
Many here seem to think we will plug in some "hot and upcoming" assistant and LB will back back the the Harrington days or perhaps Tarkanian. The world has changed!
I think the program needs new energy, but also believe be careful about believing an assistant coach will suddenly make LB the most amazing mid-major and lead the program to greatness. Also after recruiting that hidden 7'3" player from Uzbekistan - not likely. But a foreign steam would be nice….
Let's get real.
Need a new voice and direction.
Need student involvement
Need a consistent marketing message (49er for life?) and brand as LONG BEACH STATE….
Need better marketing and culture from Athletic dept. for both men's and women's ball
Guidance on what the future of the Pyramid will be….
Please for crying out loud institute an Athletics Excellence fee and build a program of students contributing to the athletics program. The alumni program needs to build a culture of making each student feel part of the university,
If San Diego State can do it, LB can do it.
Thank Dan Monson for his service, and GO BEACH!!!
