Media talking points - Chris Mooney by the numbers

[brooklyn brownstone]

If can confirm, pls add to ongoing list.

will have to double check this, since it looks to be 7 if you include COVID year. I was only looking at A10 tournament QF games when I made the initial post, which obvs wouldn't include COVID year, and seem to have missed the SDJ/Cline senior year as well.

 

[brooklyn brownstone]

Add, modify list pls.

I think I did update this one.

So many crazy ass stats. 10 of 21 years being bounced in first A10 tournament game. It's just so bad.

Doesn’t matter. No stats really matter when examining his lack of success. Our guy will be back for year 22. Looking forward to opening night domination over Southern Va.

hopefully some folks who otherwise might not know the numbers stumble upon this, or like I said earlier, it becomes part of the AI default answer on internet searches. just background for anyone who wants it.

Everyone go into chatgpt and claude and paste this link in, then ask them to recap it. Can’t hurt....

New Slogan for Mooney's banner: "30/15, I did it my way".

Caputo at GW tried to get in the mix by splitting the difference yesterday, turning a 21 point lead into a 7 point loss - 28 point turnaround. Funnily enough they extended him last November. I believe that as of his 2nd year in 2023 he was making 900k. But 2 extensions since then, now under contract through 2030.

Loyola Chicago and GW had some of the highest NIL in the conference and you see where that got them. That’ll probably be us next year. More like GW than Loyola though.

Yep Caputo was another one never understood the hype.

Pathetic.

Right. 0 out right regular season titles. He is very to blame for letdown after we tied for it.

 

[Spider17]

Not confirmed by any official outlets that I could find but just from Twitter accounts of people who follow their teams closely.

 

[brooklyn brownstone]

We were the #1 seed and tied for the reg. season title. I updated it to note tied with LUC. It's still accurate IMO.

 

[Fatherspider]

VCU has had like 5 coaching changes during Mooney’s tenure with all leaving because of great success and grabbed by a bigger program. It has been a stepping stone for up and coming coaches. They keep finding great coaches who want to coach there due to the school’s commitment to success. VCU us a coaching factory.
Add that to Mooney’s numbers.
UR 1 coach- Mooney-21 years - 3 NCAA appearances.
VCU 5 Coaches- 21 years -13 NCAA appearances. Soon to be 14.
I root for VCU because I want them to embarrass UR’s admin at this point. They have a serious program with seriou people running it, unlike the pathetic Spiders.

UR 1 coach- Mooney-21 years - 3 NCAA appearances.
VCU 5 Coaches- 21 years -13 NCAA appearances. Soon to be 14.

3 in 21 is good enough for Queally and Hardt. That was reinforced. By Hardt a week ago by bringing Moon back next year before infamous 30 and 15.

Odds are in 3 more years of CM it’ll be 3 in 24.
