Tubby Smith leading candidate for Memphis

[RollinVol]

5 year deal - 3 would would have been more reasonable but I guess the AD at Memephis is as bright as Hamilton was

Most deals are around 6 years right now.

What's the chances of Tubby bringing Penny Hardaway on his staff?

No one gets a 3 for recruiting reasons. As the poster above said, 6 is now standard, and some are getting 7.

Gary Parrish explained it yesterday after seeing questions on why they couldn't get anyone better. He said that Buzz Williams and any better coach would have wanted more years and more money. The amount that they are paying Tubby wouldn't have gotten anyone better.

No. Barnes's contract is 6 years and 15 million (2.5 million per year) and runs through April 15, 2021.

Ok - Thanks I thought I saw it was 3 posted somewhere when he got hired

I guess so - less pressure to win and they are set for life after 6 years anyway

And Texas Tech hired UNLV's coach a week after he took the job there.

I believe his contract hadn't yet been approved @ UNLV

Upgrade. Tubby is getting old though.

Contract had been approved. Beard was an assistant at Tech though for 10 years though

I believe I heard his buyout at UNLV was only $1 million. So, Texas Tech could basically take Tubby's buyout and pay Beard's buyout.

Great hire for Memphis. Tubby will do a good job.

 

[UofMemphis]

Larry Brown...75

SDSUs Fisher...71

Jim Boehiem...71

Coach K...69

Jim Larranaga...66

64 is the new 54.

Looks like a done deal..not a good hire imo..Tubby is too honest to be the coach..Memphis coaches expect to be paid for players
