Sounds like he’s trying to get a few parting shots in before Tubby is let go. Taking shots at a Memphis Icon, Administration etc.

I get it, tho. Tubby has won 7 of his last 8, and yet everyone wants him gone, in favor of a guy who’s never coached a minute of basketball. It’s insulting.

But 10 million dollars oughta make him less bitter, not more.

Tubby @ crew biting the hand that feeds them. Never a good idea. If he wasn't before he is finished here now.

Everyone wants him gone because we're a smart fan base (for the most part). We know fool's gold when we see it

It’s more than that. Tubby’s brand/style is hurting the business as in dollars and cents. Tubby was trying to run a HighPoint program at a Top 25 program

It’s insulting to bad mouth a local legend. It’s also insulting to disrespect the hand that feeds you.

Not sure why the few Tubby fans are defending him on his agent's outburst. It gives some legal grounds for firing for cause--or at least raising that as an issue and negotiating his buyout downward because of it.

Tubby could have ridden off into the sunset looking good, looking like the unjustly jilted sweetheart with the media all tsk tsking at Memphis. I don't think that's as true anymore.

Agree with all of the above.

He will go down as the most despised coach ever.

Here are Orlando's recruiting classes BEFORE he came to Memphis. So who is to blame for keeping Orlando from getting recruits back then.

2015 73
2014 69

Are you really that stupid? Penny has been the coach at middle school and high school level for several years. Even won championships if I remember correctly.

You need to get back on the short bus and go home...

Believes all he needs to do is X and O in practice and during games. Not willing to do what is needed to keep the program from playing in front of empty arena. 6000 in an 18,000 seat arena looks very very bad on TV. You cannot get enough people in any area to fool the cameras.

As much as i hated how Cal screwed us over at least he was out there promoting the program and doing all the right things to keep the Memphis name relevant.

After today's nuclear attack by Tubby and his agent, I expect Tubby to be fired within a couple of hours of the final buzzer tomorrow. Not a moment too soon either.

Yep. This relationship was doomed from the start. He’s an under-recruit and “coach em up” kinda coach. Except his “coach em up” style won’t ever get us back to being a perennial top 25 program. And you don’t pay a top 10 salary to this type of coach

I’m glad that our leadership/boosters are coming to their senses and admitting their mistake. Tubby will get a fat check to make him feel better.
