Armani Moore seems to be in oblivion. Or Bolivia. He was actually the new comer i thought would have the biggest impact this season. I wasn't able to watch more than the first 5 minutes, but the Lopez kid looks fiesty.
I've run into Maymon. Just go to the Waffle House on Papermill. Those guys are there every week for lunch. Anyway, last I saw him, he was limping badly. I'd be shocked to see him this year.
How bout that Marshall?
Of course Marshall is a better coach. He's been at it 15 plus years.Well, I'm more a UT fan than a Gregg Marshall fac. But, if we are going to judge a coach like that, then we should have Butch Jones fired because he lost to Dooley. Of course we all think that CBJs is a far better coach than Dooley.
In fact, I predicted a UT win. Black words on a white page.
I still think Marshall is a better coach. Particulary when you look at the total resume. Not even close. Hey, maybe Shaft if the best thing since sliced bread. We're not supposed to judge his career on a couple of losses, so I would only say that is a two edged sword. CCM will have every opportunity to show his mettle this year. He has no excuses. No NCAA issues. Facilities off the chart. Plenty of in-state talent. And a budget to get it done. I just question whether Martin's ceiling is in line with the potential that UT offers. And that doesn't change the reality that Marshall should have been hired over Buzz.
And it's telling he's been at it that long and hasn't landed a better gig.
He turned down South Carolina this last time. And he's turned down a couple of other offers.
He interviewed at UT and the word was he killed it, but Dickey insisted on Buzz. Marshall will be fine and will get a big job before it's said and done.
What's a tifwiw?South Carolina isn't exactly a big time job, and as far as offers you should know how that goes (many who claim offers never actually had them). A guy with his resume should be at a big time school, not bouncing around the mid major level. From things I've heard he's somewhat of an odd guy, tifwiw.
