MyBB Calkins, CA: "The Beginning of the End ..."
Calkins from the CA tonight ...

http://www.commercialappeal.com/columnis...98691.html

"It's over. For all practical purposes, the Josh Pastner era at the University of Memphis ended Sunday at FedExForum with a loss to an East Carolina team that hadn't won a road game or a conference game all year."

"But at this point, it's doesn't even feel like a debate any longer. It feels like a long, sad, final trudge. Barring a miraculous turnaround, Pastner will be dismissed at the end of this season. Sunday was the beginning of the end."

I say we give him one more year. 7 years is truly just not enough to turn things around

Let's just go ahead and give him a lifetime contract. Eventually it'll click.

If the alternative is Penny then we might as well keep Pastner.

Something else to consider, that article doesn't get written in a vacuum.

Yeah, it's not like he is writing that as a final statement unless he knows something.

Not as harsh as some of Pastner's ugly losses.

So what does "the money out there" mean? Does it mean "willing" or "watching" or just "out there?"

@geoff_calkins When Porter stunk up football you threw him under the bus and forced changes. Now Josh suffers worst loss yet and nothing?

@jay_256 Who said "nothing?" But the huge difference is the $10.6 million. Without that, he would have, should have, been gone long ago

@geoff_calkins bottom line. There was a time this would not have been tolerated. Seems nobody is even concerned these days. #priorities?

@eFFUT Priorities haven't changed. The price tag has. This university has never had to buy out $10 million.

@GarylColeman Not anymore. This class is terrible. And it's not one game. Look at the crowds.

@orlandoenomo Clearly do not. But they do have to have boosters willing to pay it, however it is paid. Can't dream up the money.

@geoff_calkins @orlandoenomo A buyout + $$ for new coach, likely too pricey. Some deep pockets in town, but even wealthy folks have limits!

I never read Twitter but Geoff confirmed a lot of suspicions. That contract is insane. Wish someone with Twitter would ask him what the thought process was when Pastner was given that contract.

Don't tell that to the Pastner fluffers on here.
