Is Coach K "unfireable"?

[pumpkinhead33793]

2nd time in 3 years his team has had a colossal meltdown in the first round of the tournament.

 

[broncosmitty]

He's not ever getting fired.

live and die by the 3

nope, Coach K will only leave when he is ready

 

[Runeman]

Short answer....YES.

 

[element1286]

Yea, pretty much un-fireable. Unless there is some crazy off court scandal.

 

[TrollyMcTroller]

Affirmative.

So play hypothetical with me for a second...

Duke could have a losing record and miss the NCAA tournament the next 25 straight years and he would never be fired if he wanted to keep trying?

 

[scoutyjones2]

No, because he will be dead by then due to the zombie apocalypse

 

[Desean12345]

He deserves to be fired, but he obviously won't be.

Given that his team has made the tourney 19 years straight, that seems pretty unlikely.

Coach K will blame it on his 'health' when he is basically forced out.

About as unfireable as Knight.

The wrong booster gets too whiney and he could get set up too.

Outside of that, nfw.

This may be the most ESPN thread in the history of SportsHoopla.

It's clear that Duke is missing a big inside stopper on defense. Unless Plumlee is injured, that kid should have been developed so he would be ready for teams like Mercer. Their center tore up Parker and company...just too much height and ass for those guys.

Well, if only Coach K recruited the best pure center prospect in the last several years to Duke for next season.......

100% this.

There's never been anyone less fireable than Bobby Knight at Indiana basketball.

And he got fired.

It's time for a change at Duke.

 

[antone112]

I know everyone loves to hate the guy, but 90% of college basketball fans would take him coaching their team in a second.

Knight won 2 tourney games in his last six years at Indiana.

Coach K has won 13 tourney games the last six years.

Yep, totally comparable.....

 

[Blaise Winter]

Yes - unfireable.
