It's deja vu all over again. Nobody wants to coach at Memphis? Still? After eight years? Or just again, after one year?

We didn't offer enough for big names when Tubby hired. All these guys who weren't coming? Give them a Top 10-15 contract and they WILL come. WE HAVE VERY HIGH expectations (fans anyway)-you have to pay for what you want. Marshall with Koch Bros. is unique but unless its hometown schOOL THEY are at, money will bring them.

Big question is money still there and are big money BB boosters pissed off about fans apathy to their pick-Tubby?

While we do not play in the ACC, we are a MAJOR program with more tradition that most P5 schools. And no, I am not arguing we are ahead of the North Carolina's of the world, but we are well ahead of the Texas Techs and Minnesotas, as well as Georgia.

Somehow he appears to have missed that. He was essentially adored for a bit less than what Pastner was crucified for. Ramp it up in all ways Tubby, make these five years great.

Next coach though, yes, without question, an up and comer. An Archie Miller or the like. One who will run through a wall.

We are not a MAJOR program as we like to think.Western Kentucky, Princeton, BYU, Utah , LSU , Wake Forest , Missouri , Iowa are just some of the "powerhouses" that have more sweet 16 visits than Memphis.You have to have an administration to make a hire to relight a fan base that wants to believe we can win like we did under Cal.The pride of those runs is what is missing as a team,fan base, and school.Tubby seems to be a direct correlation of how the administration is right now...apathetic.

Next time you want to downplay our basketball program's history, at least do a little research and get your facts straight

The only team you listed who's been to more sweet 16s than us is Utah

We've been to 11

WKU...8
Princeton...6
BYU...8
Utah...18
LSU...9
Wake...10
Missouri...7
Iowa...8

AND
We have been to the FINAL FOUR three times. Played in the Championship Game two times. A lot of programs have done NEITHER

Will Wade will not take this job

Period

Got any names that would?

I as said during the search, Chris Mack is a great coach and would be a food fit here. I watched Wade coach 2 straight games. He needs more experience before he is ready to take a job like Memphis and the unique challenges we have here

Chris Mack is a really good coach but wasn't going to come here. There are a lot of good coaches. I'm not spazzing out like a lot. Tubby will right the ship. Unfortunately some of y'all will have to be patient. Most of you were patient with Pastner so not sure what's changed

NIT his first year and 4 straight NCAAs will give a guy a chance. When he lost fan base it was very bad as that affected everything with the program. I'm convinced had he had a reasonable contract, he would have been let go after 14-15 season when fans started bailing out big time.

Mack might not due to city ties, but you can probably count on less than 10 fingers the number of coaches that would not come here for $4.5M, 4 year contract and total control of BB. Like we offered Cal.

I'm not going on rehash pastner but you're correct, most people wouldn't turn down the money. When Tubby is finished, I think a lot of coaches will be interested

Tubby will get 3 more years minimum unless he loses his mind.

That being the case, I hope he decides to start working.

good luck to him; he needs all he can get.

Mack is fine. But $4.5M a year? For a guy who has never made it past the S16. For a guy who has a lower win % at Xavier than every one of their previous 4 coaches.

Don't get me wrong - I'll take Mack. But not for $4.5M.

You want to give this guy total control and $4.5M - and you complain about the contracts of our athletic department.

since nobody with an IQ above room temperature has ever suggested he would be a candidate for this job that's probably a pretty safe boast for him to make

You mean like the geniuses that all want Penny ?

There are a few "geniuses" here that act like Andy Kennedy should or would be a good choice.

If the choice was Penny or Andy, it's so easy. It's Penny all day everyday.

For a proven winner, okay. Marshall, Miller. And, yeah, the guaranteed contracts with low buyouts are becoming the norm.

But not a flyer on Pastner, Cuonzo, or Mack. There are less than 10 coaches making that kind of money.

It's moot anyway. He's not leaving his alma mater. He would just use job offers for a raise. They would match closely enough anything to keep him.

I told you guys Chris Mack to start with. This will be his 4th S16. Think only one Tiger coach has more. Then Jankovich who got royally screwed by selection committee this year. SMU was much better than Cincy. Those are the two guys I would go for if we could get Tubby to walk away.

WTH you talking about a "flyer" on Mack? been to 4 S16 in 7-8 years which is as many as any coach we've ever had except one. Geez.

Just like Cincy, Dallas, San Antonio, Birmingham, etc think they are different. You just have to find a good fit. Something we haven't done with our last two coaches.

Ask your doctor if your heart is healthy enough for Memphis.
