I can already predict the posters here that will pipe in with the "I love it." "Good for him" "Doing it the right way."


Barf.

Well, it is "good for him" and he is "doing it the right way", the only problem is it is at our expense, not his. He's not sacrificing anything, he's not standing up to the man. He's using our $15,000,000+ to prove a point to no one but himself. Oh well, what's 5 years of crummy teams if you can say....

Just wow

Every successful coach says the same stuff. Tubby will not recruit at a high level. So even if he coach's his players up, they can't overcome teams that have similar coaching and better players.

I would rather have a 'decently' coached team with highly skilled players who want to be at Memphis and play hard.

I love it. Good for him. He's doing it the right way.

You can be a horses rear, but I gotta admit that I laughed on the Chris Jericho clip. Well played.

But I'm still not taking you off the list.

Most players think they are better than they actually are...

But I question practices because it should be clear who are the top performers there and could be easily be pointed out why who was playing more.

Sounds like a coach. Not sure if you ever played sports, but it’s pretty standard. Again, good for him..

Is anyone surprised?

Spoken like the 70 year old crotchety grandpa he is.

'crotchety' great word.

Barf is the best response

He needs to go before all the TrUeth hits the fan.

Nope.

Every coach I ever played for starting in the 8th grade said pretty much the same thing.

Most of the fans already know the actual problem is the dude can't/won't recruit at a high enough level to even get us sniffing the Top 20.
