Got it.

Just let us bad fans know when he finally wins.

I don't think any of you are bad fans. Well, maybe the one dude who is an Ole Miss fan, masquerading as a Tiger fan, but I digress.

I just think, in this internet age, a lot of you are spoiled little snowflakes, that whine and moan if you don't get instant gratification, in this case from your team.

I was 100% behind Pastner until the last two years. And, I think Tubby deserves a chance. IF...this season is a complete train wreck, I'll come over to your side, likely. I just think you give him AT LEAST this next season and then judge the results.

I guess this means Markel is staying?

I say give it to Penny now, but Tubby needs that retirement check. He is here for at least 3 more years. Thank you wine and cheesers!

The program was going down the shitter before Tubby. Tubby is flushing it completely at this point. Time to wake up to reality.

He basically just wasted an entire year of everyone's life.

He should've pulled this crap the day after he got the job.

Has nothing to do with instant gratification and everything to do with getting the ball rolling again.

The last year has been an absolute waste of time for everyone - the fans, the players, the coaches.

I hate it for Jake. If he had one more year of eligibility...

Why would he?

I'm more upset he told Marshall and Nick King to move on. If he knows that Dedric/KJ are likely gone as he's getting rid of Keelon, HOW in the world can you tell 2 guys that want to play here no if you have no backup plan?

Sorry that a year of your life was wasted. I truly am. I mean, I really am sorry for you.

Talking to folks in basketball circles around Memphis, this move by the Lawsons makes it clear Keelon Lawson wants to be an asst coach again

What do you think is going to happen next season? You think he's going to win with freshmen and jucos? Markel, Martin, and ??, ??, ??.

He's got a disaster on his hands.

Best post this week!

In today's development, we lost KJ. That's it. Dedric was assumed to be gone anyway.

I don't know what next year will bring. Once the final roster is in place, I'll have a more informed opinion. Then, after a few games in, I'll have an even better opinion.

Sorry, but I think Tubby deserves AT LEAST thru the end of this season.

The one thing I will agree with...Tubby should have cut Daddy Lawson loose last year, when he came in, and let the chips fall then!

pimping is hard

Has anybody seen this tweet from KJ yet? I screen grabbed it before it was taken down.

Way to show your a$$ to any future suitors right before you transfer to another school.

If you like Tubby then you have to give him three more years from today. (He wasted this year - nothing was accomplished and with both Dedric and KJ leaving you only have a couple of returning players to 'build' on.)

His recruiting class for this year is not a rebuilding class (2-3 freshmen). He's panicked and is out there trying to grab a bunch of jucos.

A juco / grad transfer or two is fine to fill in for a recruiting miss, a transfer, or an injury but he's trying to basically build next year's team out of jucos now.

I really didn't like the Tubby hire when it happened and right now I like it even less than I did then.

What the hell is he doing other than screwing up the program?
