MyBB Logic for buying out Tubbs
Joja Tech saved our butts and we didn’t have to buy out Pastner. We were prepared to cut bait and didn’t have to do so. That being said, it’s time to buy out Tubbs if he doesn’t at the very least sign some good recruits. If we don’t cut bait soon, the demise that started with Pastner will continue. Amazing what back to back bad hires have done to Tiger Basketball. All we need to do is go get Steve Forbes.

That's all we needed to do 8 years ago. I'm not sure what it would take now. I just have a feeling we're in for a string of coaches, none lasting more than 4 or 5 years, before we get back to where we all think we should be. Hope I'm wrong, but that's what I'm afraid we're in for.

There is no logic in buying out Tubby right now. If we couldn't afford to buyout JP, we sure won't buyout an historic figure in college basketball. He will keep this program out of trouble while we build a football program worthy of P5 consideration.

I agree. He will be here through next season. They MIGHT buy out one season, but not two.

Too many blind believers like you... that's Memphis' problem.

I am sure if it were in your power we would still have Tic Price and Larry Porter as our two main sport coaches.

RE: Logic for buying out Tubbs
There is no logic needed because there was no logic in paying the guy 3M a year. I’m a huge fan and I’m feeling extremely frustrated by what I saw last season and really frustrated by what I saw in the Alabama game. I’ll pray this team improves but he’s not working, he’s not recruiting and it’s extremely obvious

I agree 100%, There is no reason to buy him out now. Too much treasure when FB needs to be the focus.

At this point, Tubby (who is a first ballot HOFer overall) is not panning out to be a good hire, but there is little reason to spend the cash, especially since he is such an honorable guy.

We can get pack in the top 25 if we make a good hire once Tubby's buyout is down, best to play it out, pour our resources into the FB program and bide our time.

Tic fired himself, sunshine...had zip to do with performance.

AD did their job with Porter...which begs the question: if you wanna be AD so bad, why didn’t you put in an app? I mean, I can’t fathom why they didn’t call you back lol

RE: Logic for buying out Tubbs
Its hard to tell someone to just buy out a multimillion dollar contract. The question is has anyone with the money complained. If no one is willing to pay then we're screwed.We took a loan to complete the practice facility for tubby to show to recruits we're not going to get.

Agree about football. About the top 25, we are light years from that at this point in basketball. We will need to start landing some top 100 recruits to get back into it.

RE: Logic for buying out Tubbs
You might as well accept it . Unless we can find cause to fire him. We are stuck with Orlando for at least 4 years.

We are all but certain that with in the next year or two we are going to have to lay out some big money to replace Norvell. If we offer him a large increase in pay and hold on to him another year or two that will only increase what we will have to pay for the next coach. And it looks as if he is going to earn a big raise if he stays.

We just may not have the money to buy out Orlando and pay for a new MBB coach and pay for new football coach.

We might get lucky and someone comes calling for him. But that is not likely.

Simple. Didn't we start a GoFundMe to buy out Pastner --- do the same for Tubby.

"sunshine"? I have a feeling that is what you call all the guys. Of course, nothing wrong with that.

Couldn't the AD and President meet with TS and tell him and his staff to get of their ass and recruit. Give them a direct order. And if they don't do it then that is grounds for dismissal. I know there is a lot of gray area there but when your boss tells you to do something and you can't/don't do it then that is grounds for dismissal.

The buyout of Tubby is of such magnitude that the decision is in the hands of a select few. Until they are willing to part with their money, the rest of us will have to hunker down, absorb the blows, support the program, and hope for better days.

If the contract allows it, they could direct Tubby to dump his son and hire a proven, competent recruiter. Tubby, who is elderly and rich, would likely resign in protest.

Do we buy him out? More than likely not however that doesn't mean that he should be the coach here. Shocking that there are still people who can back him. He just continues to ignite the dumpster fire that is Memphis basketball right now. I hate this.

Whoa Whoa Whoa according to Joe1 i'm the resident gay guy here, don't take that away from me. SMH haha
