While you may want to hamstring your program luckily your President and AD are smarter than that (maybe that's why they're in charge and you're not). No one worth a damn will touch this job if Tubby gets two years. Well no one who is a good coach. Tubby is there until the end of next year at least. Probably the year after that.

Probably so...hence why Memphis might "gamble" on someone without college experience like Penny.

Memphis attendance has dropped basically by 2/3 from just a few years ago...as they went from coming close to selling out the 18,000 plus seat FedEx Forum for many of their games (usually ranked Top 12 or so in Yearly Attendance), to now struggling to get 6,000 to show up for many of their games.

The need to sell tix might trump X's and 0's needs...especially if top candidates don't want to take this year....and thats where Penny could fit in (at least for 2 years).
