I wonder if Penny would do the damn thing for 1 cent?

Hell he has been coaching the same kids since Middle school he may as well follow them to college.

No

I'm a big Penny fan and would love to see him come to the tigers and fix this mess we have here,but we all know what happened to a guy named Finch who was a Tigers star at one time and actually started off winning then had a few bad years and the fans wanted him gone....So No...

Penny Hardaway is the university’s greatest asset.

Pay him $3.5 million, and he will pay dividends.

Pay him now.

Penny
Makes
Cents

Where do I buy that t-shirt?

Can Penny run a practice?

Why in the world why we pay a guy with no college coaching experience $3.5 million? He should not command a salary anywhere near that range and if he does we should start looking elsewhere.

We should not hire Penny for his sake and ours.

It's hard and rare for a coaching stint to end well.

With all due respect to you, but I’m tired of the thought process of the “I don’t want Penny to go through what Larry went through when he was fired” take.
First off, if Penny is ever offered the job, it should be Penny’s choice, not ours. It makes zero difference if some fans don’t want to hire Penny because it may end bad. It’s Penny’s choice and if it’s his dream to be the head coach at the school where he played and was a star, who the heck are any of us to stand in the way of his dream?
As for Larry, I wouldn’t trade off watching him coach for his school just because it ended poorly. I wouldn’t trade off all of the great memories of Larry coaching the Tigers, no way. Being the Tigers coach meant everything to Larry. And I loved that he was our coach. I like the idea of former Tiger greats becoming the head coach.

Agreed...

Not hiring him because you are afraid of hurting his legacy is stupid.

But he is also not qualified for the job...He may turn out to be a wonderful coach but he is definitely not qualified.

Penny may not want the job and I am unsure if he is the best option. It is hard to fathom that he will be worse than Tubby, however.

Being qualified for a position doesn’t necessarily mean one can not be highly successful.

Please expand on what qualifications he is lacking to take over as head coach. So if he is definitely not qualified you must have a pretty good list of definite why nots.

Larry’s illness slowed him down and affected his recruiting and other major things in the bb program which doomed him. Larry did get his teams to sweet 16s and one Elite Eight but he came after the Dana Kirk run of the 80s and that’s what tiger fans wanted to see the team immediately get back to and Larry just couldn’t deliver. Penny isn’t ill as far we know where it would affect his recruiting and Penny if hired, isn’t coming into a situation of dramatic success that he has to live up to. Expectations would be high but that’s not the same as say if he was following Calipari

Larry did lose Marvin Alexander and Sylvester Grey. Had they not signed with an agent (I think his name was Abernathy), Larry would have had a killer of a team.

He has never coached above the high school level...

Would you be on board on hiring anyone other high school coach in the nation? If Todd Day was the one coaching East would you be advocating for him to be the head man.

You shouldn't get a job driving a 18 wheeler when you have never driven anything bigger than an SUV. You may be a great truck driver but you should have to prove it first to get this job.

Todd Day isn't Penny.

Remind me where Day attended college again?

Where you played has nothing to do with your qualifications...Keep up.
