    “Eric’s goals for the program align with the department’s goals for it - win a CUSA championship and get a bid to the NCAA tournament.”

    Okay, so why is he getting an extension?

    Because it is a "goal." It will no longer be a "goal" if you actually achieve it. So, Konkol and the AD just want to have them as goals. Mission accomplished...year after year!

    I've been real angry at Konkol in the past over not winning the conference when he should. I believe we should have won the Conference title and the auto bid to the NCAA Tournament at least 3 times since joining CUSA, including this past year. Once again, the Dawgs snatched defeat from the jaws of victory when we lost to UNT --and scored only 48 points-- because our Point Guard Cobe Williams broke his hand the week before the CUSA Tournament in a meaningless game that was scheduled late.

    That said,..........I'm as excited about this men's BB team as I've ever been. In late March, Konkol's team played GREAT bb in wins over SEC foe Ole Miss, conference power WKU & #1 seed Colorado State, to finish 3rd in the NIT Tournament. Those were 3 real good basketball teams. Yeah, we had the loss to Miss State in there, but those refs sucked, and Konkol had his team playing and competing at a very high level when it counted. With everybody coming back, and star forward Kenneth Lofton Jr getting better and better, this team SHOULD be really, really good in the spring of 2022. I can see this team winning the Conference regular season title, and earning the NCAA Tournament birth by winning the CUSA Tournament next March. In fact, I'll say it's THEIR'S TO LOSE!!

    So, resigning Konkol to a contract extension was smart. In fact, it was the only play.

    "If you want to be called a winner...you actually have to win." - Coach Mike Ditka

    Well, in that same vein if you want to be a champion...win a championship. Until Konkol actually wins a title (Holtz too) spare me the hype and happy speculation.

    Extensions with no mention of increased buyouts are all fluff and show weakness from our leadership.

    if we had a beat reporter, then maybe we'd know what was in the contract.

    Doubt the last guy would have…he never reported about buyouts or the importance of negotiating on our end.
