I just noticed that Corey is an academic advisor. Can't remember hearing that, but that's cool

Corey did work in our academic advising office for a while, but he took a position outside the university recently.I just noticed that Corey is an academic advisor. Can't remember hearing that, but that's cool
Looks like one of the factors in Rhoades leaving was that VCU just wasn't good enough.

He hated to leave the players, but he threw Ed and Dr. Rao under the bus (while praising the leadership at PSU) and said that VCU just wasn't good enough to accomplish things he wanted to accomplish despite supposedly asking for ideas.To save us on listening to him, what exactly did he say?
That's what I'm talkin' about. I want a synopsis. I don't want to listen to him yammering about fighting like crazy, or whatever catchphrase he's using now.To save us on listening to him, what exactly did he say?
The tl;dr version is VCU isn't worth his time because it has to be 100% perfect since it's not in a power conference, so he went to a school in a power conference, all while throwing us under the bus.That's what I'm talkin' about.

He’s got that backwards. He wasn’t/isn’t good enough to accomplish the things he wants to accomplish. And if he thinks it’s going to be easier at Penn State playing in the Big Ten, then he’s in for another rude awakening.He hated to leave the players, but he threw Ed and Dr. Rao under the bus (while praising the leadership at PSU) and said that VCU just wasn't good enough to accomplish things he wanted to accomplish despite supposedly asking for ideas.
Great--he can be mediocre at PSU, and not be under a microscope. Something every competitor aspires to.The tl;dr version is VCU isn't worth his time because it has to be 100% perfect since it's not in a power conference, so he went to a school in a power conference, all while throwing us under the bus.
I guess he’ll learn that going 5-15 in a power conference isn’t going to be perfect enough to make the tournament either.The tl;dr version is VCU isn't worth his time because it has to be 100% perfect since it's not in a power conference, so he went to a school in a power conference, all while throwing us under the bus.
Pretty much.I guess he’ll learn that going 5-15 in a power conference isn’t going to be perfect enough to make the tournament either.
He’s going to have about 3.5 million microscopes a year pointed at him if he doesn’t live up to that overpriced salary. They’re paying him the same salary that Purdue pays their coach. Expectations are going to rise and I bet their fanbase won’t have people as loyal as some people were here defending his failures.Great--he can be mediocre at PSU, and not be under a microscope.

Excellent point. There will be a pass for year one, but not much beyond that. $3.5 M is a lot of money, I don't care if it's the main sport or not.He’s going to have about 3.5 million microscopes a year pointed at him if he doesn’t live up to that overpriced salary.
