RE: Penny's people "leaked" the news....
Firing a coach is messy. The state of our current program is messy. Our financial outlook is messy.

These "leaks" are a blip on the radar. Nothing scumbaggish or evil about them. In fact, they've brightened many days this week. When Penny is hired, everyone will forget the leaks and it will not impact our image an iota.

If it was any other average coach taking the job then it probably wouldn’t have been leaked so quickly but it’s Penny and that’s a big.....BIG deal

People have not been going on the radio since last April suggesting that Penny would be open to taking the job and could bring a bunch of players with him that would not play for Tubby without Penny knowing about it and at least tacitly approving of it.

And his people would not have leaked this latest to the local press without his explicit approval. Penny is a grown up. His trust was not betrayed. If his people leaked this, he wanted this out there to make it harder to keep Tubby.

Calkins said Penny's people leaked this or he didn't. That's not a fact that's dependent on any one persons feelings on the matter.

No it is unprofessional.

It is both extremely unprofessional and effective. The admin is now in a position where not only is there no way they can keep Tubby on, but their only other option is to find an amazing candidate in a very short period of time.

Penny has pushed the timeline to 1 minute after our season ends. At that point the clock is ticking and it is going to be pure craziness until this is settled one way or the other.

I agree, kind of shows you that Penny really wants only one job in college BB, that being his alma mater. If he doesn't get the job, he probably won't get one in the near future (in terms of college BB) since most other places probably would think that Penny's machinations are very unprofessional.
