Good points, especially 2. and 6. UT is nationally relevant in basketball, so the administration knows that it has to provide a good coach. After all, it is a business, and it is about money. Winning leads to money.

Charlotte, Oakland, Arkansas, Ole Miss were none better.

Are you really attempting to compare the likes of Rice and Marshall as competition to Oakland, Arkansas, or Ole Miss? Please...

Oakland was actually a pretty good team that played an extremely difficult schedule.

Lets see. you take an arena that holds 21000. Take away 14000 pearlophiles as you call them and that gets us to buzz ball the second go around. Empty arena and the curtains. But I'm sure you will rather have that

Our final two weeks we started 4 true freshmen and a D3 transfer. I'm proud of our championship. One day you'll get to experience that feeling, maybe.

And maybe one day Tiger High will win a REAL conference championship. Doubtful, though.

1,3,4,6 are completely false.

1) Your arena is big but it's old and lacks other new age/NBA technology. Practice facilities are state of the art but 40 universities have similar practice arrangements.

3) consistent winner? 15 losses this year bruh. You've made 1 elite eight and no SEC crowns.

4) foothold in Atlanta recruiting? You just fired your entire staff and gave the one cheater a bonus while screwing the rest. Forbes had ties to ATL but unless you're talking about Dooley, you're out of your mind

6) the university isn't compelled to make some big hire. They're compelled to hire someone that can stay out of trouble and maybe win a few games.

Good post about how you feel inferior, and hope we suck.

The UT Brass is reaping the storm they have sown with all the public statements of support for Bruce Pearl made over the last several months. We would've been far better off maintaining a neutral public position with an announcement that we would be conducted a review of the program to be concluded at the close of the season. And it is the clumsy manner of UTAD in handling this entire situation that will make difficult for us to hire a top-line head coach.

Difficult...but not impossible.

The only question is how much is this Athletic Department willing to pay to get a quality head coach to look past the Gomer whom he would nominally report .

They will unless we snag a big name. People aren't gonna be as excited to pay the high amt for tickets with a quiet mid major coach coming in.

Big name coach, No-name coach, no coach at all... who cares.

Start winning games. Beat the teams we should beat, and beat some teams that we shouldn't... and it doesn't matter who the coach is. People will fill up TBA again.

No way dude! If we don't hire Bob Knight or Roy Williams then this program is dead.



According to some, anyways.
