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.

I think retirement is an option. He is wealthy and elderly with lots of options for leisure time while he waits for a probable HOF invite.

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.

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.

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.

You are conflating. I'm just responding to your ad nauseum comments on the coach. If you don't want such replies, find something about the team on which to post. No personal attack here beyond your personal attack on the coach & beyond my acknowledging that you posted this thread & asked the question. Like I said, it will take about $8M to fire Tubby. How many threads, how many times & how many ways are you going to ask the same question. We all know you don't like the coach, that you will hold him accountable - whatever that means . & that you state this in virtually every thread related to Memphis MBB. And if it gives you comfort, very few of us like the job our coach is doing but we don't have to whine about it continually - but we also know Tubby has a 5 yr contract & what it will take to fire him - pay him off. Now you know that too. We got it! Move on.

Meet the new MTO, same as the old MTO.
Won't get fooled again.

I'm still stunned that the same crew that pulled off the genius Pastner-to-GATech move, also hired Tubby.

That is so awesome. Thank you for the laughs again.

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.

I am participating in this stuff, but I still think that there is a better than 50/50 chance that the team improves enough for Tubby to stick around.

Having said that, IF we are looking at the possibility of Tubby being let go, look no further at the next AAC contract as a catalyst or a deterrent. If we get re upped at $5 million, it will be tough sledding. If we get $10 million per school, then it would definitely open the door a bit wider.

That's a tired, old argument. It's a message board but since you've rolled out that mindless drivel then: Don't YOU ever complain about any Tiger coach at any time in any sport since I'm certain that you and your buddies will not be ponying up any buyout money either.

Fair enough? I need nothing but unicorns vomiting rainbows from you and your buddies when it comes to Tiger's athletics from here on out.

Let's see if you're up to the task.

That's how I see it. Maybe he'll pull a rabbit out his hat this year and at least get to the NIT and reel in a Top 25 recruiting class.

Could happen?

If the std is to never complain, that's an entirely different proposition that bringing it up in virtually every thread about our MBB program. Right?

What will it take to fire Tubby? Probably a sexual harassment allegation

It all comes down to recruiting great athletes.

If we strike out during this signing period, short of some miraculous grad transfers pulled out of a hat next year, we're pretty much screwed reputation-wise.

Yeah, it is.

Wouldn’t it just be better if we lost every game...

We can win every game or a big percentage and I bet many would want him.

Personally my concerns more so tend to not worry about Tubby but keeping Norvell here and getting the damn IPF built. But hey, that's just me. Oh yea, me and my 4 basketball season tix are being used tonite and will be for every Tiger BB home game. GTG

Welp, I agree. FB is definitely the bottom line...Keeping Norvell, starting the IPF etc


Shooting the small shiat helps some of us, though, when we're waiting for the big upcoming stuff. Waiting is hard.

Grad transfers tend to want to play for a team with a strong probability of going to the NCAA Tourney. I do not think we can count on it to bail us out.

There's no reason to fire Tubby until you have his successor locked up.
