Isiah Thomas on the Hot Seat at FIU?
Here's a side by side comparison of what Jarvis has done at FAU and what Thomas has done at FIU
Jarvis: Isiah Thomas:
2008-2009 - 6-26 2009-2010 - 7-25
2009-2010 - 14-16 2010-2011 - 11-19
2010-2011 - 21-11 2011-2012 - 3-7
2011-2012 - 4-6
———————- ———————–
45-59 Overall 21-51 Overall
So Thomas has nearly as many losses as Jarvis does and he's coached at FIU 1 less season. I think he's a great recruiter, but a terrible coach. They gave Maryland a hell of a scare last night. With a good coach, they would've won that game
My two favorite teams are FAU, and who ever is beating FIU!

And, most importantly: Not a winning coach.
As noted above, the records speak for themselves…….
As does tying the Nicks worst season (59 losses).

Sign me up for MJ ANY day of the week over Thomas…too much baggage. Says weird things publically… And, most importantly: Not a winning coach.
Exactly. I would have no faith in that guy whatsoever.

He was ready to bolt for the Knicks as soon as the opportunity came along. He went back to FIU after the NBA and NCAA said not so fast my friend.
They should fire him, I bet a new coach could come in there and do a great job with the recruits he's brought in. Great players don't always make great coaches. Ask Magic Johnson and Wayne Gretzky. Very rare to find a player who's in the HOF in any sport as a player and as a coach. According to Wikipedia there's 3 members of the Basketball HOF who are in there as both a player and a coach:
John Wooden, Bill Sharman, and Lenny Wilkens

I think they should keep him. Give him a raise! That way they could stink up the place even more and we can spank them again…Can't stand FIU.
-Go Owls!
