You would think at some point Smesko would be looking for greener pastures, but it's hard to argue the logic of wanting to at least be in the state of Florida right now. There may be a coach who can elevate us to their level, but I highly doubt it is Carey Green.We will continue to be in this predicament as long as Green is coach. We appreciate the growth that he has brought the program but it is definitely time to move on.

If Smesko were to leave for a high major program, I doubt FGCU could maintain the level they are at now, and I believe we could win ASUN championships with Green.olldflame wrote: ↑March 14th, 2021, 4:17 pm I honestly don't see us or anyone else knocking FGCU off the top rung of the ASUN as long as the coaches remain the same.

We have been pretty steady under Green and I give him credit for that but it would be nice to take a step or two forward instead of hanging out on this plateau.cruzan_flame13 wrote: ↑March 14th, 2021, 4:23 pmI don't think that's totally true.

olldflame wrote: ↑March 14th, 2021, 5:20 pmNot sure how that is going to help us in the future. I guess we should wait till Smesko leaves so that we can gain the scraps of being winners in the ASUN later. How long will that be I suppose until we win that bid?

He clearly likes his situation at FGCU a lot, but I believe he is on record as saying he would consider a move if he believed he could win a national championship. He has already turned down an offer to join Andy Enfield at Southern Cal., which looks like a genius/prophetic decision right about now.
Alexis is the internal heir apparent.
I don’t believe it would be an internal hire.
