RE: 2018 CBB Coaching Carousel
Yeah, I think Tubby on the outs sentiment was in play earlier in the season but he finished the year strong winning 5 of the last 6 that included beating Houston at home. However, that loss to USF at home was an absolute crap the bed moment. Judging from comments on the Memphis board it appears there are more in favor of giving him an additional year than changing coaches. This is only year 2 in the post-Pastner rebuild and that is giving him some leeway. He'll certainly help his cause with a win or two in the AAC tourney. Put it this way, IMO he is no Kevin Ollie at this juncture.

SMU's scholarship reductions certainly hurt but Larry Brown still made them relevant.

I am not a Tubby fan but the guy took over a dumpster fire after Paster beat feet and Tubby had a winning record in year #1 and is probably going to win 20 games this season.

And here I thought some local fans were complete irrational dumbasses.

Huh?

SMU is still drilled with scholarship reductions and a conference mate wants to bring Larry Brown in on staff? Along with a guy from the AAU circuit with some shady ties to the underbelly of that beast? Idiots.

Yeah, these Memphis rumors seem....ill advised. No doubt Tubby is a terrible cultural fit for Memphis. But that's a pretty accomplished program to be considering a high school coach as its head coach.

I hope they do it. Freaking idiots. We should put Terry Nelson on staff, he’s Penny’s kryptonite. 0-4 against us in ‘92

If Memphis fires Tubby after 2 years, they better hope that Penny hits a home run. If he doesn't and Penny moves on, Memphis will have a hard time hiring a good coach after firing Tubby so soon.

That would be a phenomenal fit honestly. He's obviously not done as a HC.

It’s not as much of a question as it is a statement of fact.

RE: 2018 CBB Coaching Carousel
I gotta say....i kinda hope, Penny, gets the job. If only because it would be something interesting to watch from afar.

Let's say he scores a couple of highly touted recruits he's associated with. Could make for an interesting year next season for the Tigers. They rode the Calipari express to renewed relevancy. Why not try it again?

Granted, I'd never want something similar for us. But hey, if it works - great! If it blows up in Memphis's face - so what?

I was watching Inside College Basketball on CBS Sports Network last night and Gary Parrish reported that Memphis attendance has severely declined since Tubby Smith took over. The fans do not like him, they want him out and Penny in.

It's probably more than just W's and L's. It was a bad hire to begin with, and he most likely won't ever make them relevant to the degree they want to. His recruiting is very sub-par right now, attendency is way down, I think everyone sees the righting on the wall and don't want to see the ship sink any deeper. Penny is at a point where he's ready to make a move, and they don't want to see him go elsewhere with all the potential he has to offer.

Penny is at a point...what? He’s never coached a second at the college level. He has never seen a page of the compliance manual. His experience with college is his time under pimp daddy Larry Finch. He will be bringing in an AAU mentality and way of doing business at a time when the FBI and NCAA are on the warpath and if you are not a blue blood you better look for cover. And they are talking about Larry Brown. Bwahahahah! Just hire Book Richardson too and be done with it.

If they do this and it goes poorly, and it will, it will make that job toxic for a generation since it will announce that the fanbase and its boosters are a clown-show.

Forget the $3.25 million per year Smith is owed in full between now and the 2020-21’ season, add in his staff’s salaries under contract...scary that there are peoole whose grey matter functions in a manner that this looks like a good idea on any level.

If they really want those recruits they should hire a coach that's tight with Penny and can bring him on the staff in some capacity like Jaquon Parker or Demarr Johnson
