that time. P
"I didn't like it that they fired him. It
was too soon for them to really tell is he
was going to be a good coach. How it
will be hard to get other coaches and
even players to consider looking at us ?
we've fired two coaches in two years."

"He wasn't given much of a chance;
he was only here for one year. I think
the excuse that was given to the public
for his firing was just that ? an excuse/'

"I thought that the firing was
ridiculous. He should have been able to
coach at least one more year. I was
disappointed. I don't like Marcum; the
team should be run by the coach, not
the athletic director/'

"I was shocked because since he was
new, I thought he would be coaching a
couple of more years, at least through
his contract. It will be interesting to see
who the new coach is going to be."
