The truth is many of us knew that Cy would be challenged to leading the team to seep FAMU. Many of of, including my self were hopeful that we were wrong in where the program was heading. While I do not support Coach Cy at this time, we are in between a rock and a hard place.....paying two coaching salaries if Cy were to be relieved now. I am in favor of letting Cy finish the season, recruit some players, AND, see how he does through mid January 2016. If he does well, let him finish the season and then re-evaluate. If he does poorly, fire him and let one of the assistants finish out the season and look for a young coach. I would even consider going after the coach that left NSU for Florida Atlantic or some other young coach, maybe even a young white coach that is hungry and prepared. Almost every coach in was coast HBCU basketball will tell you that A&T is full of potential in mid-major basketball, we just keep going off course.

Since the championship, the program has declined! If you're a good coach, you'll be able to take not as talented players and make them better. This clearly is not the case for CY!

Let's not forget APR...that has been on a gradual decline as well. That's the one thing Eaves did well. So, here we are in the same position 3 years later. It's unfortunate...because I know the coach has been through a lot of adversity the last year or so...but, this type of career is not kind to that at all. I'm not sure what the answer is or should be but, something has to change.

Unacceptable... We have slid far behind the pack in a period in which this team should be excelling.

APR decline, wins decline, sounds like its time for a different direction. I had high hopes for Cy; I'm really ready to move on.

Well stated Ohsixrain....
I dont know the answer either but we do lack talent. My thing is we should at least be competitive regardless of the unfortuante issues. One would think we would at least be a 500 team. One would also think that we would have had an excellent recruting year 3 years ago coming off the MEAC championship and winning the NCAA play-in game.
I realize we loss Pack....Central loss the kid that transferred to Colorado State and they are still dominating. Can you imagine if NCCU still had Stanton Kidd; 6'8 225 averaging 12 points 5 boards. My point is the program moved forward without Kidd..Our program is not even in neutral without Pack we are in reverse with our foot on the gas.

After winning the MEAC championship 3 years ago we should have had an awesome year recruiting. We are now looking at the effects of not having a good year of recruiting three years ago. Remember Cy had not had his personal issues at that time. I'm done with waiting on Cy; it's time to move on as far as I'm concerned.

We did have a good recruiting years .But it was just on paper and never showed up on the floor.

I don't rely on what they say players can do (Bemers) I rely on what I see. So if the didn't hit the floor with the hype they brought in then we didn't recruit well.

Saabman,
A recruting year on paper that does not show up on the floor is a bad recruting year LOL..... The coaches are responsible for vetting the players not the fans.
Trureaggie,
Bemers is a good player he is just being asked to do something that he does not have the talent to do. Bemers is not a starting 2-guard he is a 10-12 minute come off the bench player that you set a pick for or he gets lost in the def and knocks down a couple threes a game.

It is what have you done for me lately Professor man. That applies in all walks of life.
Cy won the MEAC Championship but did not take advantage of it. That Aggie team was locked and loaded to win the Championship - senior laden.
Actually I was against him being hired. I wanted a young coach but A&T has something against young coaches. They will learn one day.

I think Cy vetted his player's based on the competition he or his recruiting coach saw. That's all you can do ,on paper is something I say when a player's don't live up to their abilities at this leval. I'm glad football is a lot easier because of the numbers lol.

I understand the sentiments of some BUT we have to be COMPLETELY honest about the current state of our program.
The issues many are bringing up didn't just start happening this season but have been steady for the last couple of seasons now and overall we haven't seen consistent improvements from one season to the next.
MAYBE next season will be a breakout year and things will completely turn around BUT based on what I'm currently witnessing and the entire body of work I can't say Im confident that is going to be the case.
