This is what I want to see

My conspiracy theory mind is starting to wonder if Martin was hired as a "fall guy" coach. Let him come in and "hold" the program for 3 years, knowing he's not going to succeed.

I'm trying to figure out how Martin can have so little fire and urgency.

I'd like to think we could do better than Bruce. Flame away, but I want to believe there are some top flight coaches out there that we could or should be able to hire here. I love what Bruce did for the program (aside from getting himself fired) but I truly don't expect him to ever coach here again.

If we were to fire CM after this season. What are the reasons we should not bring back BP? Isn't the show clause up after this season anyway?

A pretty big one would be, he'd have to be interested and I doubt he would after getting fired and not having support from the administration.

I turned the game off last night in the first half.. or I probably would have broken something in my house.


Absolutely inexcusable to lose that game last night. IT was a MUST WIN for our OOC schedule to get into the Tourney and it was at HOME. :banghead2::banghead2:

I believe he would take the job back if it was offered. I could be totally wrong there, but he seems like he hasn't went as far away from the program as most would.

Doesnt' Jimmy Cheek make about 400,000? I doubt he would even allow Pearl to come back even if he wanted too.

Right-o. His heart is here and I firmly believe (no inside knowledge) that he's angry as all get out about he left it and he has an intense desire to deal with some unfinished business on the Hill.

Honor, Integrity, Class, Reputation... that just names a few.

Good coach? Yes

Bad liar? Yes- caught twice with doing the same thing.

The question is why WOULD we bring him back.All about the WINS right? If thats the answer then good luck in life.
Last thing we need is the NCAA parked in our backyard.

Yeah if tony dungy would have lost it on the sidelines the Colts would have won five superbowls. Makes perfect sense.

I'm not saying you do not have valid points, but this isn't the 50s anymore. I would say 90% of college coaches out there have done the same, if not much worse. Do you watch the games because of those qualities mentioned or do you watch to see UT win. When UT doesn't win, do you say well we lost with Honor, integrity, and class.

Understood, most all of them don't get caught once, let alone twice.

You do not have to lose it to show a little emotion. I know coach Martin philosophy is to always be in control However, all sporting physical activity requires aggressive emotion. I have participated in and studied sports which requires physical activity. The most effective coaches I have had were not afraid to demonstrate emotion where it is called. In fact they often wore in on the sleeve and as a player you new if they thought you were not give it you all you were going to get your butt chewed out. Your answer is Saban.

Coaches can be very successful without showing it, too.
