Not sure this is really a step up, but good luck to him

Report: Larranaga leaving GMU for Miami

as an alum of GMU and was there when he arrived and turned it around there...I think this is a bad fit, that Miami job ewwww, not a good one IMO. Good luck to him.

I don't like that move for Larranaga at all. Miami is quite possibly the worst job in a conference that isn't what it used to be.

I like him a lot as a coach, though, and I hope he does well. I wonder what GMU will do...

Wow, never would have saw this coming. I like Larranaga a lot too, but just dont see this a good fit for him either.

Mason has had great recuirting since their final 4 run and the last 2 years they were a really strong team. If they didnt have to play Ohio State or any of the other 1 seeds in the second round they should have had a run to the sweet 16 and maybe elite 8. Im wondering what the team is gonna be like next year talent wise and if that had anything to do with it?

I see. So I guess this is the new trend. Can't win the big one in a smaller city/program that appreciates you? Just head to south beach where people either don't care or are to hungover from partying all night.

i think it's a great move for him. he has done very well at gmu and has earned the right to move on to a bigger and better conference. he now gets to live in miami and coach at a major college in the acc.

You'll give yourself a concussion if you keep hitting yourself in the head like that.

I am sad to see him leave but it's tough to leave that kind of money on the table. You gotta do what you gotta do. It was a pleasure to see him take gmu to new heights... I wish him the best of luck, he's going to need it.
