Jerry stackhouse’s response to the UT game.

[BowlBrother85]

"Commodore Nation, as we mourn the end of our 3 point streak..."

Was Stackhouse being sarcastic here? If not, that is an incredibly cheesy thing to say about such a trivial matter. My lord, you haven't won a conference game in nearly two years now.

It is fun. When Vandy stumbles.......but I have heard volnation boo players, most recently JG

 

[PandamoniumReigns]

Is it me, ir did it appear Stackhouse didnt really do much coaching? He just stood there and when they cut to his audio, he would just say generic stuff but not coach.

"All they getting is fast break points."

Ok coach, How do you get your guys to stop giving up fast break points????

 

[tbones0711]

I just watched the game yesterday after recording it. What was the deal with all the TV time for Stackhouse? They had him on as much as the game. He's standing on the edge of the court with the camera fixed on him again and again. It was weird.

Kept referring to his style of clothes also. Just another ho-hum evening in the SEC, IMO. They made a big deal out of Vandy's 3 point streak and I'm glad it didn't happen.

sorta feel sorry for the guy...maybe he should just go and model for GQ...

GO BIG ORANGE!

I have said that multiple times since the game. He didn’t do a lick of coaching. The fact that he was “mic’d up” as an ESPN special feature made it all the more funny/awkward. He did nothing to inspire his players, or the fans confidence in his ability. All he really has going for him is a recognizable name. He signed a 6-year contract, and I will be shocked if he makes it into the second half of that contract.

Also, no coach worth their salt should admit to game planning to keep a statistical streak going.

He wasn't game planning for threes... that was just him trying to cover his azz with the fanbase.

I gave a "like", not to support the thought of booing our players, but the fact you noticed it.

 

[BeecherVol]

That is a brutal thing to post in public

There's a lot to unpack from all that.

1. I didn't get the feeling watching the game that anyone but the fans had the streak on their mind. They took some 3s late but it didn't look abnormal for a 20 point game. He comments on the idea that they were running plays with it in mind, but it just didn't look that way. Maybe thats his way of cooling the flames some after the fact while at the time he either didn't know or didn't care.

2. The comical part is the idiotic Vandy fanbase. Their program is coming of 0fer the conference and is still struggling again this year with a new coach and they boo their team not because their biggest rival is handing them their hat on their floor, but because they made a 2 instead of a 3.

3. A streak like that is a nice discussion piece for a program, but it needing to be important enough for Stackhouse to have to address it publically that way is silly. Your program is in a ditch and under a new direction to try and fix it.

Given the circumstances, Id be more concerned that the HC felt like he needed to explain it in that detail.

I’m printing this and hanging it on my wall

It won't improve the looks of your outhouse wall.

Well he SAID HE WAS GAMEPLANNING FOR 3’s whilst covering said azz. If he’s lying on top of covering, I’m not sure how that’s any better.

The announcers had to say something as you say it was a ho-hum game from the early minutes. They had to grasp at straws.

You HEARD it? Got that software?

 

[Kingofkodak]

The Streak was the only thing Vandy really had to brag about. I will say this, since the late 60’s I have enjoyed some very exciting games against Vandy. Vandy will have a tough time rising up in the SEC Hierarchy with the successful and experienced Coaches currently coaching. JMO.

 

[k-town_king]

The only embarrassing part of this was the Vandy fan reaction. Its a shame he had to post this. Classy move.

Vandy's roster sucks. Difficult to coach up a squad with their lack of talent. If they win 12 games it would be highly impressive.

 

[HuntlandVolinColo]

That was a good, honest, informative tweet by the coach.

However, if he doesn't start winning games, especially in the SEC, he won't be coach for long. The only thing people look at is Top 5 recruiting class and what have you done with it.

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

Jerry Sh*thouse wont be men's head basketball coach at Vanderbilt for very long in my opinion

But he has suits that are made for a king......thousands of suits for the best dressed man in the SEC.

 

[livefaith]

Commodore NATION? More like a rural county.

 

[orangemadam]

Stackhouse is in a bad situation imo. He wasn’t able to really capitalize on his name and new coach excitement with his first recruiting class and then he lost his best player to injury. I think he could be a good head coach but he is inexperienced and will have to try and learn on the job in a tough SEC. I don’t think he will last too long at Vandy.

I live in the Memphis area and I can tell you, I am no Tiger fan. I am watching Penny go through this transition as well. A famous name does not mean you are a great coach. With my 2 kids being Memphis alumni, it still didn't bother me to see them lose by 40ish. I am thankful that my kids are not Tiger fanatics. I bleed Orange since growing up in Dyersburg, big Orange country.

 

[Doctrippin]

Vandy fans have to be the most abused in the SEC. They should put all their energy and resources into basketball. No reason they can't be relevant in that sport.

I know we lost to Memphis, but seeing them get pounded by 40 by Tulsa was funny. How does that even happen? I know Penny is not a very good coach at least from what I've seen, but really?

 

[TJVol95]

Losing their best player again to injury has killed their season for the second year in a row. They have to deal with it.

 

[Probably_in_Class]

Definitely seems like a classy guy. Vanderbilt fans are absolute morons for booing their own team when they were driving to the rim making layups and dunks. Still don't know if I'd have posted something like that on Twitter though as it will likely prove to be more meme material than anything

Agreed. Night and day when comparing him with Penny at Memphis.

 

[Unconditional Surrender]

Jerry doesn't look that bad in this to me. The fact that he felt like he had to write it says a lot more about Vanderbilt than it does Jerry.
