I would argue the opposite; he should have left a while ago. At this point he is just hanging on. He seems to have lost control of things and the years of locker room/off-court issues were pretty indicative of that. I could see him taking an emeritus role somewhere in the department (I think he has earned that), but I think it's time for him to hang it up. Agreed, and it seemed that the admin was also coming around to that point of view earlier in the season. But the tone appears to have softened, and I think there is some willingness, in some quarters, to give him an opportunity to leave on slightly more favorable terms of his own making. Nobody was able to find all of the horcruxes before the end of the season. There’s always next year!

I think it's pretty impressive where USC has ended up considering where they were at the beginning of the year. Eventually Mick will retire. Probably at the moment no one thinks he should / would.

It's a contract year, so one immediate consideration is the length of any contract extension. Winning can smooth a lot of ruffled feathers (see Oregon).

This is Geoff from OSU. I chose to connect with this discussion knowing I will likely open myself up to attacks. In the end that fear did not supersede my hopes to reach out and bridge some gaps. And let’s be honest. As a father of 3 young boys who, with all my deficiencies and weaknesses, does my best to give my whole heart to my players, staff and program, it’s pretty personal. Us not making the tourney this year is completely on me and I have no issue with folks saying so. Regardless of our situation this season, I had and will continue to have many sleepless nights grinding over how I could have made this team better. But I couldn’t get us there. So understand my reasons for posting have nothing to do with that, I expect and deserve to be questioned when we fail to make the tourney. I have had many coaches reach out to me this week since my name came up in this post, local and distant, club and college. To you I thank you for your kind words and insight. While this forum is thought to be anonymous, our community is too small to think that people don’t know who’s on it. My hope is to open a dialogue with anyone who wants to connect, including those commenting on this thread. My phone number is 614.483.3574 and my email is carlston.3@osu.edu. I genuinely would love to talk. Thanks to the local coaches for calling me this week, while I have lots of room to grow and am sure some don’t care for me, it was great to affirm our friendships. Leary, Hughes, Appold, Witte, Wenz are all local kids. We’ve only had one Ohio kid that we have offered not come here in the past 8 years. That’s not to say we haven’t missed because we have, one of them kicked our butt a few weeks ago at Iowa. We let a player go this season for behaviors that were not inline with our program. Nobody was arrested as was alluded to in this post. It was the first player I had ever let go from our team at Ohio State. I found out about the article posted on Gloria Mituri from her older sister the day it came out, a few weeks after she had called to tell me she needed to stay closer to her home. She wanted me to know that they had contacted the newspaper to get an apology and retraction because they had never even spoken to any of them. They called to let me know she appreciated our staff and all we had done for Gloria. If you know this young woman than you understand her incredible story and, in the end, why she needed to stay closer to her 3 sisters. KState got an amazing person. I did have my first young lady on scholarship transfer this year in my 18 years at Concordia St Paul, Ohio U and Ohio State. It sucked and still sucks. As I told Michaela at Clemson and every other coach I spoke to, this kid is one of the neatest people I have coached. After we spoke with her and her family it became clear that this was the best thing for them. We have supported her since that day, Clemson is a perfect fit and I know she will do amazing things there. Finally, as for the confusing post regarding using negative body images or anything in that realm of our young women, there are a thousand people other than me that can defend how ridiculous that is. I have my Masters in Social Work, was in the Peace Corps and before coaching I worked very closely with young women and men on suicide watch, cutting, helped them navigate horribly traumatic events. You can criticize me for my record or for recruiting but do not assume you can make up such things in anonymity. Call me and we can talk about whatever you would like. I appreciate so many people in this amazing volleyball community. In many ways it is like a family. With such bad things happening in the world I challenge us to be better and have meaningful conversations. I absolutely include myself in this first and foremost. I hope this is a step in the right direction. I’ve never been one to call myself a fan of OSU... but now-now I’m def a fan!! Well said coach - and best of luck!! +1 to that guy!!

The problem for Mick at USC now is early commits at looking at playing for a coach that will be almost 80 when they get to USC or a coach they don't know or have had no contact with. Risky business for a kid being asked to commit as a sophomore. Committing early effectively takes them off the market because colluding colleges with discontinue the recruiting process.

And, they've been passed by Kentucky's program as second best in the SEC. Looks like LSU is back on track, too. Georgia and Auburn seem to be up-and-comers. If Corbelli isn't recruiting on par with those programs, they will get passed over. As I said, I'll be happy the longer she stays there; she poses no threat to Texas in the immediate future. And that's really the argument here. It's not that they've performed poorly, it's that at a major state university in the state of texas, shouldn't she have accomplished more? She and her assistant are north of 60, they've never made a final four, they graduate 3 of their top 7 and their were swepted by Arkansas and Ole Miss, smaller schools who have smaller athletics budgets and inferior recruiting bases in the sport of volleyball. They could get back to the NCAA tournament but really, if you are A&M, a new coaching staff should get them to the NCAA tournament and then some. They deserve the chance to continue but they have a relatively new AD who owes them nothing so I won't be surprised either way. For all those who think I have it in for the Corbelli's, see my posts in this thread from November 14-15
