I figure it will take a Moe Iba type season (he won six games and 23.1% of total games his last season).
This is why i'm tore on what I do this year ... ... ... I want to pull for them to win however if they win 17-19 games theres no chance Tubby leaves, if he loses more maybe they fire him. It's kinda like tanking in professional sports (Suck for Luck) i'm going with Terrible for Termination.
o no. Gotta root for the kids no matter what. No matter who leads them.
They are our players.
I really don't think it matters what I do tho, thats the point, they are going to suck regardless. It just depends on the level of being bad, i'm hoping that its bad enough to make a move instead of, not bad enough to make a move (17-19 wins). I think most of us would agree that they would rather endure a TERRIBLE season with Tubby gone at the end of the year instead of a mediocre where Tubby keeps collecting a check (of could this would be different if there was any light at the end of the tunnel (good recruits) but we all know thats NOT happening)
I dont want the Tub of Laziness to get paid huge money to do even less than he is already doing.
Fire Saul. Fire Pooh. Then let the Tub retire on his own will without a buyout.

What will it take? You & your whining buddies putting up about $8M. He's our coach for at least 3 more years without someone putting up the money. The low attendance is already factored in, with only those that will show up for anything Memphis attending, so there is little additional financial downside having Tubby as the coach.

It's always possible we'll (not he'll) have a losing season. His teams have had a couple before. Then again, it's also possible the guy who has taken five different teams to the NCAA tournament will take six. I, for one, won't experience any internal angst anguishing over which of those possibilities I'll be rooting for, either.

Let’s focus on the team and not fellow Tiger fans.
On another thread, I stated a buyout will be made by a few people. My guess is a 7 or less wins will pry open their wallets. Others Tiger fans may have a different threshold and thus the reason for the existence of the OP question.
Meanwhile, all Tiger fans can do is bear the pain and support the program.
I think it would take a complete collapse for the big donors to eat the money.
Something on the terms of:
- 9 or less wins
- last place in conference
- multiple 25+ losses
- and no top 250 recruits.
If all of the above happens, they might eat it.
Otherwise, I think Tubby will coach the next couple of years at least.
Barring health issues he will get two more years. Just settle in.
I don't care what it takes. I just hope it gets done.
You also have to remember that you may lose booster cash flow while Tubby continues to do his thing. The AD won't turn a blind eye to that . . . If he wins under 15 games I honestly don't think you see him around here next year. He'll either be fired or he'll quit. One 15 win season won't do much to your legacy but finishing w 3 will def make people wonder.
If he doesn’t get a top 150 recruit and we have a terrible year -less than 18 wins- then I could see him “retiring” after the season. Fall on your sword and keep some respect vs going out a multi-year loser

You asked the question that does NOT focus on the team but rather on what it takes to get rid of the coach -- essentially the same comments you have made ad nauseum in every other thread since he was hired. Get your buddies organized, put up your money, take action & quit whining.

The coach is the most important component of our team. Therefore, Tubby’s performance is a fair and valid topic.
You launched into a personal attack unrelated to our Tigers. We are all frustrated , but let’s not take it out on Tiger fans. Now that it has been explained to you, if you insist on making posts about me rather than the team, then I will be obliged to ignore it henceforth in this thread.
One thing..........money.

When the AD comes up with $8 million to buy him out the AD will have some input.
Here's how you deal with a tool like tiger1983. Put him on ignore and never respond to any of his bs posts. He is seeking attention with his threads full of negativity which is why he responds so quickly to posts that mention his name.
For the record, tiger1983 supported josh the entire time while he destroyed tiger basketball. He didn't like when others bashed pastner similar to what he has done to tubby from day 1.

I mean the vitriolic and mean language directed toward our coach. It gets old to me, but FWIW I support you and your cohorts claim to freely spew as you see fit in the appropriate thread.

Let’s not make this thread about me. Our team is playing tonight.
For the record, you are absolutely right. I ignored the warning signs about Pastner despite the misgivings expressed about his performance by posters here. They were right and I was wrong. I will not make the same mistake again.
Futhermore, my post you cited was directed toward people making nasty personal attacks on Pastner. I always intend and always in practice (that I can recall) never attack Tubby’s personally. I focus on his job performance.
Finally, I agree the best practice is to ignore posters and posts people find objectable. No one is forcing anyone to read or response to me or anyone else, lol.

He wanted out after last season, but no other schools with openings were interested. I'm hoping (no, praying) that he decides to call it a career after this season and we work out some type of reduced buyout.
