You know the lack of energy from him is disturbing and the step backwards in high D1 talent is too.

But you know what, at this point those kids are wearing Memphis and they have managed to make comebacks is a lot of games, sitting at five and two instead of three and four or worse.

We all get that they have looked overmatched against the higher level opponents who were not exactly Duke higher level and will likely struggle in conference and all the rest. But, maybe time to have some fun with this...easier, and will help them win more games. We will address the bigger pictures in due course I am sure.

You misspelled "Kruger."

Memphis hasn't had a decent X's and O's coach since Dana Kirk. Now that we have one, the miserables want to run him off in favor of a guy who buys players and hires family members.

College athletics were already on the road to hell. Some of the fans want it to go there even faster.

We still don't have an x and o coach. Also it has nothing to do with not buying players or hiring family members. It has everything to do with being the laziest coach we have ever seen who puts in as little work recruiting as possible and has a staff that can't recruit either, including his son who does absolutely nothing at all in any kind of way.

But it doesn't suprise me that there are a handful of people so blinded by reality they believe the nonsense.

You really need to stick to things other than sports because your takes are, frankly, horrible.

So he's too dang ignernt to know how ignernt he really is, and that let's him get to thankin' that he's actually the opposite of ignernt?

He doesnt and you can see that not only in his inaction but in his few public statements - for example 'lowering the expectations' or why he doesnt recruit hard. So, in Tubby's mind, there's no reason to make changes or listen to others since there's not much more he can learn. While others see Tubby's failures, Tubby's own ignorance of what he doesn't understand means all he can do is retry the same. This makes him unsuited for a job like Memphis --- or any job that requires an admission that you don't 'know it all' and need to acquire new methods and skills. Tubby can't - hence, Dunning-Kruger.

i agree tiger city is suffering from Dunning-Kurger syndrome, he should spend more time at his confederate memorials

I consider the source when I hear things like this. You have no credibility whatsoever.

I feel badly for the kids playing to empty stands, but to each his own. I voted with my feet the last couple of years with Pastner, so I can't say anything to the anti-Tubby crowd for doing the same if that's what they choose. I did so because I had watched Josh for five years and knew he couldn't coach. With these guys, even though they are obviously below the talent level we're used to, I'm actually enjoying watching them learn the game and improve -- and they are.

Hope the 3 Amigos are here 4 years. If they are, they and we will probably be good. With Pastner running off all his recruits and the Lawson-led debacle last year, we haven't had more than 3 or 4 to finish as Tigers since Cal. But who knows if these will. Transferring is a thing, now.

Dude, go find any thread on this board where you have been right about something.

You were all up Porter's zzz defending him, you were a Pastner jock rider until your perm-ban, and now you inexplicably, against all reason and information, are mocking those who know Tubby isn't the guy for the job.

Step away.

I am not seeing the improvement, in fact we played worse against the worst team we have played yet, last night. I guess it is in the eye of the beholder.

Last season Crawford seemed to improve, for about 4 or 5 games, then went back to what he was before and the entire team collapsed. Then I checked into the Tub's history and that was actually par for course. His teams always fall apart at the end of the season. He did really well in the early part of his career, but since he left Ky (and even some before he left) he has been on a slope.

Try me then. You had a handle on sports in the past but you're way off here. Tubby is terrible, it shows in recruiting and results. It shows in attendance, ratings, fan enthusiasm etc

There is literally nothing you can point to show Tubby is doing an even mediocre job,

The facebook community of Tiger fans is about 98% completely delusional.

That's where he has been spawning for the past few years since the ban.

They cultivate stupid and misplaced hatred.

These folks come up with all kinds of stuff.

The one that kills me is the Tubby sucks because of Josh crowd.

#REBUILDING

LOL.

It wasn't #REBUILDING when he showed up.

It would have been a blessing for any other coach we hired.

Apparently

One of the staffs' biggest problems is their eye for talent. They have no eye for talent. That's on Tubby.
