RE: Calkins lowering the boom
All I am saying is that Calkins and Lapides are two people in the local sports media that I would never, ever ask a sports question.

Hey Goof, what do you think about ...?

Not happening.

Can we just get rid of Tubbs now.

Tubbs is the trauma that keeps on giving.

It's gonna get worser.

Now, it's Calkins fault?
Ask Scott Drew if a writer can have an effect on a coaching search?

Now Tubby sucks because of Scott Drew?

Come on, people.

Let me get what y'all on.
I don't think anyone said that. What exactly are you on?

Reality.

Calkins don't hire or fire nobody.

He doesn't make Tubby suck.

He isn't a friend or a foe of the University of Memphis.

He is a columnist at the local rag.

If admin or boosters backed away from a candidate because of something Calkins or Lapides said, then we are way more f***ed than I ever imagined.

Screw a search firm, what does Calkins think?

Bruahahahahahahahaha.

No; we would be the pariah of college basketball if we were to not let him exit gracefully at the end of this season. There are far more who eiether don’t care and/or favor his retention for one more year than those who want him gone.

Just curious - what is the makeup of the population you reference in your last sentence? Are you talking boosters, fans, or the average man-on-the-street?

Also, have we even used a search firm for basketball coaching hires? I don’t remember any lately. Just the AD and some boosters, right?

Maybe, but I thought I recalled something along the lines of “we can handle this” from the powers that be around the BB program with the Tubby hire...

It's relatively irrelevant.

Search firm gave us Justin Fuente and Mike Norvell. Powers at be gave us Josh Pastner and Tubby Smith. Our brand is so in the dumps that we can't get a wow hire so we need to go with the search firm.

Tubby needs to be gone if he doesn't land anyone this year...

But we will be crucified by the media if we fire Tubby after this year because the media doesn't pay close enough attention.

Per Parrish and Jason Smith, they used the same search firm for basketball that they used for both football hires. The problem was the national coach of the year award that DeCourcey gave him. That put him at the top of the list and Rudd was sold.

Who cares about the national media's opinion on this situation.

Because it turned out so well otherwise, the Pastner and Tubby hires look brilliant right now...

I do not want to turn this into a pro vs. anti Scott Drew thread but hiring him could not have turned out much worse even if we landed on probation, at least then we would have a good excuse for sucking.

It could have just been fine if we replaced with someone hungry after Pastner
