Fire Mooney

[Eight Legger]

Listening to the coach's show right now sounds like a eulogy of the Mooney Era, given by Chris Mooney. He is clearly done.

Any good quotes to share?

3 more years left? Maybe sounds like eulogy but Las Vegas odds say going nowhere.

He did actually say something to the effect of "we have to be accountable, and that starts with me." Generally he just seemed forelorn, and he was saying the forward-looking things you would say after getting your butt kicked, but in a way that sounded more like he was trying to convince himself there was a way out of it.

Good contracts make good relationships.

In some instances not always symbiotic.

When VCU fans start trolling us by saying the same things too, you know things are bad.

The most disturbing thing in that post is the bathing suit being worn by a Ram in the profiles avatar.

Unsettling.

That is weird.

You would think Mooney would just throw in the towel at this point. He must know how the fans feel about him, and damn, 22 years is a good run with 1 tournament appearance in the past 19. “Fire Mooney” has been a crying call of this fanbase for at least 10 years, yet he has survived and it doesn’t seem to phase him for a second. We are all just ignorant fans and he is the Ivy league basketball genius.

I was in line last week in concourse to get the jersey giveaway for season tic holders, and the woman in front of me said she and husband are season tic holders. She asked me if I was Moon fan. I told her no. She said they weren’t either and provided reasons. I guess we aren’t real fans.

Could there possibly be Mooney fans still??

He has generally seemed pretty lacking in energy. He’s never been a super effusive guy, but he’s a whole level south of that these days.

Except when he was praising our team AFTER VCU whipped us. He seemed to have plenty of energy then.

My favorite Mooney was the Charlotte game. The man had some fire in his blood then. Since then he's been mostly catatonic.

It's tough to say a guy is better than he was when he had only played 13 total minutes or whatever it was, but I know what you mean - he is performing, whereas before he was not even getting on the court. He might have been ready a month ago for all I know but they just kept playing others. I didn't know he had mono tho, heard that last night for

How is it that in 2026 there's not a way to listen to this unless you caught it live? Oh right, because its UR athletics.

Actually it is on the Spider TV section on the Athletics website. Use the link below, but go to the “On Demand” tab to right. Then it shows all the old shows.

I was about to wax poetic about this, I’m glad it is in fact there and findable, even if it’s not super straightforward.
