I care. They are paid an ungodly amount of money and they should treat the public as they would treat their boss. Because we are the boss. Do you get to run from your boss?  

 

 

So you would feel better if he just got up there and said they didn't execute 20 times over?  I run from my boss all the time especially on Fridays

How do you know that's what he would say? I'd like to hear it from him and not you.

Not saying that is what he would say but that is exactly what a past coach would say and I would be just as happy had he not said anything at all

I don't really care what Shatel has to say on anything.  He needs to go away.

Word on the street is that he yelled "FAKE NEWS" as he ran by.

And then he tweeted something mean an hour later.  He also said there were 200,000 people at the game.

And his follow-up tweet was about how big his hands are

Blah, blah blah! 

 

Shatel stirring the pot!

 

If he does interview, some of you calling him out for not would be all over him for his responses. 

This. I have no problem with him shutting out the press. The fact of the matter is that as a coach his job is ultimately dependent upon what his defense does on the field. If they continue to play like last night then he will ultimately be fire. No amount of press time will change that.  

 

If his defense excels he will he will be portrayed as focused and reclusive if he continues to shun the press. 

 

If the the defense continues to suck he will be labeled a petulant child. 

 

In the end he will answer for on field performance one way or another. Personally I don't care to hear the canned coach speak anyway. 

 

Just win

seriously, if the coaches are going to hide when the performance AND game management is piss poor, then they won't be here long.......i think we have some kids that can play a little, but Riley is a .500 recycled coach.........nice guy, poor coach.

Sounds like a bunch of coaches got stuck in a freight elevator.  Not sure if it's related.

If that's true, I'm guessing they thought it was better PR that he skipped the interview.

I think Shatel is simply writing about what many fans are thinking and saying. I've always leaned towards wanting to hear from a guy like Diaco because he makes ~$850,000 dollars to coach defense. IMO, that warrants a few post game remarks to the fans helping to keep you employed.

 

Plus, when Diaco or someone like him doesn't speak after that kind of performance, it creates a sort of vacuum to be filled by players, other coaches, fans, message boards, etc. I don't think that's a good situation to cultivate.

Diaco probably wouldn't have said anything worthwhile.  But he still needs to stand up and face the music.  If NU is going to allow the players to speak after the game, then every coach should be available too.

If this is true, and he was running to talk to his players, that is the only excuse worth listening to.
