Scathing article in Memphis paper that noted a pregame fight between 2 players and how a former Memphis Great that was inducted into their Wall of Fame (Anderson) at halftime, when asked if Tubby Smith was the right man for the job, he said No....and Tubby Smith basically agreed with him in post-game comments.

It sounds like Tubby wants to be fired and if he is, Memphis will owe him $9.75 Million ($3.25 Million for next 3 years).

Vultures have been circling for a good while now. Antonio Anderson's statement was before the UCF game. Tubby's payout is over a 6 yr. period, not all at once.

I've always thought that he'd be back next year.barring a complete collapse this season, but Memphis has now lost 5 of its last 6 so that collapse may well be happening. For the first time I'm now thinking it's conceivable he may go in a negotiated buyout. I say negotiated because Tubby sounds like he's as miserable at Memphis as the fans are with him.
