Duft has a record as of today of 50-60 against Division 1 opponents and is 2/3's of the way thru his 4th season as head coach. His record is not even average, which seems to be the standard that Weber Admin finds to be the acceptable goal. He must go; Let him go! He must be miserable and questioning himself with this record. Fire him now and put either Vandiver or Russel in as the interim. Surely, even this AD requires a better than 5% winning record. If he wants things to change, to get better he has to change what is being done. The only way to accomplish that is to replace Duft with hopefully a better coach. I say it is time!

I know I probably come off as some inpatient complaining fan, but I really want to see coaches succeed. Duft and Mental seem like nice guys, but neither were/are getting the job done. I can be a nice guy. Weber State can hire me for 1/2 the price if they don’t care about results.
Mental inherited a playoff team and got worse with each year. He was almost given 3 full years despite the marked decline. For whatever reason it finally tipped the scales to make the move two games left in the third season. It is going to be a clear rebuild, but I’m optimistic competitive and energetic football is around the corner.
As far as basketball goes, who the hell knows. My guess is Lillard money will keep Duft employed for another 3 years, or the terms of this contract. If they didn’t make the move last year after squeaking out above Sac State for the basement, why would they now? I’m sure there are clauses to remove him…but obviously Duft is protected. It’s sad, because the Dee and bball program are a shell of what it used to be. I went to a kids get in free game and I don’t think they were over 2,000 fans even though they announced it at 2,400. It was ridiculously quiet and the crowd couldn’t get into it. They tried but the game uptempo game was never consistent.
It’s sad to remember packed house for Montana and seeing an enthusiastic atmosphere and see the doldrums now that has been accepted…but money talks. You just have to know the right people who hold the purse strings, and if you do, the gravy train is a hell of a ride!
