He has recruited, because he recruited the high school team he has He has basically coached these guys since middle school then onto high school. His experience coaching has been only with one group of guys for the most part.

Penny needs to go be an assistant coach somewhere first, but his ego won't allow that.

I see Penny going to Ole Miss or an assistant to Calipari before I see him at Memphis.

If they don't hire him, I can see him going to UK as an assistant and taking those lovely recruits with him. There are far worse first lines on an NCAA resume than "Assistant Coach, Kentucky Wildcats".

Cal might sack him after one season once the recruits are in the bag, though.

Quote:CV on a rant this morning:

@ChrisVernonShow
Quick sermon this morning. Please take your seats...


@ChrisVernonShow
Everyone knows I campaigned for Penny to get the job long ago. With that said, this whole Tubby Smith situation is absolutely disgusting. I'm proud and happy about what football has become at Memphis - but I get so sick of hearing how "smart people" run things at Memphis (1/5)


@ChrisVernonShow
Those “smart people” gave Pastner an absurd extension (which was freakin investigated). They lied completely about not knowing attendance numbers years ago, yet somehow know it all now. They sat there while interest in Tiger bball absolutely cratered (2/5)


@ChrisVernonShow
Then...those “smart people” hired Tubby in this first place and gave him an enormous contract. Now they are hanging one of the most respected men in the sport out to dry while the season is still going on and kids have one last chance at a run. (3/5)


@ChrisVernonShow
But the admins will talk to people on cell phones, leak news, and care what local media thinks and say so get a pass. It's disgraceful what they are doing to him. When Pastner needed them ripped over scheduling w/o his say, or travel... they weren't "smart people" (4/5)


@ChrisVernonShow
They should be getting demolished for this ridiculousness, but media so invested in runnin Tubby out of town that they *****-foot around fact that this is not how it is done. “Smart people” - outta my face. They are jerks for letting this happen this way. Sermon over. (5/5)
