Can We Get Some Horn Inside Info?

  • Instead of everybody speculating and asking everyone else what they think can a mod or somebody in the know find out what is going on behind the scenes...

  • Hyman does, and will continue to be politically correct, and remain silent on any speculation. There is no way for anyone to find out. I doubt Hyman's wife knows what is going on in his head.

  • How anyone could logically believe that Horn should be back next year is beyond me.

  • That's what is so frustrating about this situation. There is no logical reason why Horn should retain his job, but a lot of people seem to believe that he will keep it.

  • I think that you need to understand thatnfor obvious reasons if anyone associated with this board knew that Horn was going to get fired that they would not relay this information to a bunch of people that are on a message board. Ive grown tired of all of the people thursting for information on hisnjob status. He is either going to be our coach or he isnt. Nobody on this baord can do anything to change that. Inthi k alotnof you need to get a hobby or find a girlfriend. Way to much time worrying about the status of a coach. Personally a bunch of guys wanting somebody to getnfired and continuing to make new threads about it is everything that is wrong with fan boards. The questions has been asked about 1000000 times and the same response is given. Wont know till the end of the season what happens.

  • Wait......are you suggesting that Hyman should not be fired because we think we know what he might do?
    This changes everything.

    There is really not a lot to get an idea on. The decision is up to Hyman. I have spoken with people who believe that Horn is done at the end of the season and then there is a strong faction that believes Hyman will do anything possible to keep Horn.

    Frankly at this point in time there just isn't enough concrete information one way or the other to put something out.

    Thank you WG, I know in a lot of ways, it's a thankless job to cover the basketball team but you have always provided us with whatever info you can and you do a great job.

    Thanks WG for some credible insight...this is what I just can't understand for the life of me. Does Darrin Horn have dirt on Hyman or something?? Is Hyman really that prideful that he would refuse to fire Horn and let our basketball program suffer just because he doesn't want his hire to be proven wrong?? This has to be it because I can't see what Horn is bringing to the table that would make Hyman do anything he can to keep him around.

    That is why I keep harping on this, not because I need a hobby, but because anybody's common sense would say Horn needs to be fired at seasons end, but Hyman seems to want to poke the fans in the eye and do just the opposite. Maybe I have to much desire to see Carolina basketball be successful for once in my lifetime and commit the necessary resources to do that.

    If you are not willing to pay the price to be successful then PULL THE PLUG on the program!! It would be a lot better than watching this slow painful death we call a basketball.

    Pull the plug? A bit of an overreaction, just have patience and wait till the decision comes to either celebrate or go ballistic.

    Yeah, keep harping, Hyman will read it here but only you post it 5,432 times. Once you reach that amount, an email will automatically be forwarded to Hyman. (Sorry JC for giving away such inside secrets....these guys need to know they haven't harped on this point enough yet)

    Yawn, wake me basketball season is over with and a decision has been made to keep the guy or can the guy. I am not going to spend one minute worrying about it...it's a waste of mental energy. There is nothing any of us can say or do at this point. The most powerful voice the fans have is attendance. If that doesn't speak loud and clear, then no amount of harp playing on a discussion board and driving other members crazy is going to make any difference.

    I know it's early, but I'm sure this is the dumb post of the day. Thank goodness our AD doesn't run his dept by the pulse of this board and can keep things close to the vest. SMH..... "Hyman seems to want to poke the fans in the eye..."

    I tend to agree and cast my vote...........

    (OP) After all, Hyman has had no influence in the success of the football, baseball, Women's Basketball and other programs at USC. Guy should be strung up I guess........for not listening to the message boards and finding success on his own merit. Let the man do his job and you worry about putting the bread on your table.

  • I am a supporter of Hyman but I hope he fires Horn. We will not be able to recruit any decent players with this dark cloud over Horn. We need someone new with enough of a name to come in and recruit 2-3 solid players to turn this thing around.

    Based on what you know, what does Hyman think is the "right thing?"

    Thanks.
