Ok, so anyone can see the remarkable improvement for Michigan the past month, but that only hi-lights the bigger problem for the program and it’s part time coach. The part time head coaching experience at Michigan needs to end today.
Moving forward, why would a recruit sign with Michigan next week?…Why would anyone who enters the portal sign with Michigan?…. Why would anyone on the current roster not enter the portal in December? Based on this year, next year is going to sacrificed.
It’s time for this part time coach to resign from her USNT activities, re-commit to Michigan and accept that this part time coaching experiment has not served the interest of the Michigan volleyball team. If the Michigan administration holds even a low level of value for the volleyball program, they will agree.
This season is is a dumpster fire no matter what happens in the next 6 matches, and it is clear now, that is a direct result of the part time head coach spending the precious time from the day she was hired last January until October working in her primary job with the national team and sub contracting her head coaching duties to her assistant coaches. .
And not to state the obvious, but the same thing will happen next summer until mid August.
So this season was sacrificed so the part time coach could repeat what she already did two years ago? Huh? So next year will be sacrificed so she can win another medal AS A ASSISTANT COACH? Huh? IS her ego so big that her ambitions-as an assistant coach, trump the hopes and aspirations of the players on the Michigan volleyball team? Just what would adding another gold medal as an assistant coach add to her resume or ability to coach the Michigan volleyball team? Doesn’t she owe it to the 2024 Michigan volleyball team to resign from her position with the national team so that the 2024 season isn’t a repeat of the 2023 season(the current dumpster fire)?
Clearly, the senior seasons of those on this 2023 team are considered expendable by this part time coach and the Michigan administration(in addition to a season of every other player on the roster). . Why on earth would either Boney, Valuet or Burke stay so this part time coach can sacrifice another year of their college volleyball experience?
Oh, and this part time coach can go wandering all around B1G media days all she wants telling everyone they can come to her office in Ann Arbor to see “her” Olympic gold medal, but the last time I looked there are at least two actual members of that gold medal winning Tokyo Olympic team (the ones who actually played) coaching in the B1G-and one who can show a silver and bronze to sit beside her gold. I don’t understand why any administration would be so irresponsible as to allow this.
Maybe Michigan administrators thought she could just do some sign stealing and everything would work out, but it hasn’t. This part time coach needs to grow up and accept the responsibility she has undertaken and stop sacrificing competition years of her Michigan players. Players like Murray, Johnson, Jacobs, and Boney came to Michigan because they had made the NCAA tournament 17 out of 20 years, they don’t deserve to have years of their careers sacrificed to the ego of a part time coach… but you all know this… 🏐
