I'm gonna play devil's advocate here. So don't blast me.

I think the most rational thing to do is to accept two things:

1)We had some really bad moments last year.
2)We had some really great moments last year.

IE can take any of the bad moments and say "look this is why CCM sucks" and we can take any of the great moments and say "look this is why CCM is great." Was this thread a bit premature? Yes, probably so. That doesn't make the bad moments that he's bringing up to support his opinion any less valid. It's his opinion. He is entitled to it even if it is different than everyone elses.

Were the Austin Peay, MTSU, and Memphis losses pretty bad? Yeah, they were. However, beating Florida twice, Vandy, and UConn were all pretty dang impressive. The fact is, we were not supposed to be a very good team last year. We showed that in the bad losses. We also showed how CCM is able to coach teams up to play well in big games and finish 2nd in the East.

Yes, this thread is ridiculous. Yes, it probably is premature. However, it's like my grandpappy used to say... "Don't let the facts get in the way of a really good argument."

Go Vols!

Like I've said before the bad loses were before SEC play when the team truly bought into CCM and his D.

If he said that, I think this thread would've died long ago.

Instead, he suggests firing a first year coach half way through the season, because they were playing basically as expected. People tried to tell him WAIT, but he insisted things wouldn't get better and that he had seen enough that said CCM wouldn't work out. That was most people's issue with this thread.

Just two more seasons until Bruce is back.

Well technically, we wait until Hubbs and Nichols sign, and keep Stokes another year, then we can just go ahead and hire him back after this season. We will just forfeit the 2014 recruiting class and should be fine with the talent on the team. So basically, just 6 months away!!!!

At the current rate of recruiting, which is impressive, I hope we don't say good bye to Cuonzo because we won't spend the $$$. He impressed me last year winning with what he had plus seeing the development of Maymon into a serious threat, considering he was benches in favor of S Pearl under Bruce.

What do you call losing at a short-handed UAT, then finishing the season laying turds against Ole Miss and MTSU? I'm not sure when you 'said this before', but it was wrong then too.

Just one question to you. Are you a fan of any sport because you my friend are not a fan of UT thats for sure. So you have to be the biggest troll I have ever seen on a message board and you need to shutup and go away. I have been a UT fan my whole life and have seen a lot of bad basketball played at TBA but have never turned my back on The Big Orange. And another thing what makes you think you could do a better job than Coach Martin? I would bet you my paycheck you could not even carry his jock strap. Mark my words he will win and win big and before it is said and done we will have a freakin National Title in basketball. So you my friend need to know your roll. GO BIG ORANGE AND GO COACH MARTIN

Are you seriously so prideful and unwilling to admit that you made an extremely emotional stupid statement, that you will just keep on piling on months after the fact?
Give it up man, the act is tired.

The obligatory "you're not a fan" post. I think the university deserves a better coach than what we've seen on the court thus far.

"Know my roll?" Really? Based on the content of the post I believe you are a regular on the Finebaum show.

Those are people you should never admit knowing. If you hang around the trash too long you start to stink.

And you are completely and utterly wrong, along with the fact 98% of everyone disagrees with you. You should tell Andy Katz or LaPhonso Ellis that Cuonzo Martin should be fired and watch them laugh in your face.
