Josh Pastner hired at Memphis (merged)

[tidwell]

RC promised a "wow" hire and ended up with a "wtf" one.

Based on what you've said about Pastner, I guess you could look at it as a "wow" hire... in a bad way.

annnnnnnnnnnnnnnd, memphis is done.

 

[UTCVol]

Epic fail.

 

[TENNFOLD1974]

Who the hell is this guy anyways?

 

[VOLS85]

RC Johnson should be taken out by the memphis boosters and tortured...then they should fire him

 

[Heebs]

Talk about a "wow" hire!

Recruiting coordinator who moved to tiger high from Zona last year

Kellogg said no to RC Johnson. Tony Barbee really wanted it but Memphis wasn't going to offer it to him.

DK was not a) going to screw Tony after he cleared the way for D at UMASS and b) have his first big time job be one where RC Johnson is his boss.

Wasn't he on the '97 Zona team that won the National Championship?

Name the truly elite players he's actually recruited. He's one of these guys who gets a bunch of "name" recruits who turn out to be stiffs. His ability to evaluate talent is highly suspect.

Good point. Do you think this hire will help keep henry or cousins at memphis?

I am not sure I can remember a scenario where a coach leaving a program has had a bigger impact on the program.

Supposedly your "a" is the biggest reason.

This really is a "wtf" hire. You would think Memphis would go after experienced coach.

Gary Parrish said Henry and Dennis are "possible" but it is up in the air. Pastner does have a coaching staff to build and he can basically hire anyone that might be in with recruits, though that is not a very long term thought.

Only if he hires Carl Henry in some capacity.

That's what I thought.

 

[JAllen18]

he won't last long.

It's not a wow hire, but I like Josh and the hire. We will see how this works out.

 

[VOL_FAN_in KY]

Maybe he will go after CBG LOL

Basically how I feel.

 

[myrobbins7]

Thinks it's better than Kennedy, Floyd, or Scott.

I would have liked Andy and Floyd over Josh but I guess we will have to see how this work out.

 

[TIGER DEN]

Not only that he's supposedly hiring the juco coach who has the other two players Cal was after . I really dont think the cantuckuky fans will be as happy as they were . Oh , I hope CBP beats cantucky 3 times next year .Good Hire imo.
