If he's not willing and is too stubborn to admit his way is producing underachievement, then yes. I don't know there's another solution if he continues to double down on things that simply are keeping his teams very average.
As I've said a million times, I'm convinced he painted a picture of what we "should" be to get this job - pulled out the new stretch offense philosophy as his main selling point, and he's willing to go down with the ship to prove it right.Last edited by drudy23; 01-23-2022 at 05:17 PM.

Steele hasn’t changed in almost 4 years and I don’t see him changing anytime soon. The proof is in his recruiting and how his team plays. We can bash Steele all we want but he is going to get an extension this off-season whether we like it or not. He will sneak into the NCAA tournament this season which will be seen as an improvement which will cause him to get an extension. We are stuck with Steele whether you like it or not. Might as well get behind him and the team.

This to me is the worst case scenario and yeah I think this is exactly what’s going to happen. I love x, and love basketball but Steele has slowly zapped my enthusiasm for Xavier basketball. I don’t agree with his philosophy…I think it would be fine in the A10, but this is grown up basketball.
I have tickets for three more home games this year and though I’m excited to go to the games, my enthusiasm is certainly not what it was a few years ago.
I hope I’m absolutely wrong and in two years steele will be taking the team to a final four, but I don’t see it, unless he suddenly changes in the players he is getting. Recruiting class looks great on paper next year but without an improvement in the frontcourt, it’s going to look the exact same year after yearLast edited by Xville; 01-23-2022 at 05:32 PM.

Steele is our Brian Gregory. His UD teams always did well OOC, but always ended up around .500 in conference play.
