Maybe the Word On the campus is that there is a proven coach already interested in the location of Fayetteville

He ruffled a lot of political and legislative feathers over his support of the players who knelt during the national anthem back in a Nov. game. Internet gossip also says some of the remaining players were threatening to transfer, he had a bad relationship with Ark. AAU teams and was missing out on in-state recruits, and wasn't well-liked in the athletic dept. Take your pick.

The Ark. sports forums are speculating Joe Foley, who's had at lot of success at UA Little Rock in the Sun Belt, or Ark. native and alum Mike Neighbors.

Are you really even a Tennessee fan or do you just like to bitch? You sound just like the "fans on the hill" who whine all the time no matter how things are going---they ALWAYS find something to whine about.
Now granted this year wasn't the best, but there were some fairly good reasons for what happened, and anyway, it's not over yet. Only one team can be champions and if you are going to whine just because you don't get the ring EVERY YEAR, then you are just one of the "fans on the hill". Most schools would be happy with What Holly's does, and her first 4 years were better than Pat's last 4. |
To be honest Holly's years have been little different from what Pat accomplished in her last few years. If you judge a coach by how they finish in the NCAA's then Holly deserves more money. But going back to the 2009 season the LV's haven't been as consistent in the regular season as they had been. I can remember many of those halftime tongue lashings we got to watch because Pat's players stunk it up in the first half. Wasn't the loss to Ball St another case of not respecting the opponent, much like the loss to Bama? And since the 2008 season while there have been zero FF's Holly has only been in charge for about half of those years. If there is a problem at Tenn it goes deeper than Holly and goes back further than Hart.
In a more general general sense, it makes little difference who the coach is if the school doesn't give them the resources to build a successful program. Today a coach needs a big recruiting budget and be able to pay competitive salaries to lure top assistants. I'd be interested in seeing Arkansas' wbb budget. WBB State used to give budgets and how a school ranked. No longer.

$3.3M in 2014-15 per http://www.arkansasrazorbacks.com/pdf/athletics/2014-15/annual-report.pdf , which was about half the MBB published budget.

| Maybe they should hire Christyn Williams's AAU coach, whoever it is.

Sounds like whoever comes in has MAJOR bridges to rebuild
It was a slap in the face to many that doofus was hired in the first place.
The poster child for Arky Women's Basketball, Christy Smith, was hired to appease the public but he was rumored to have been so dismissive to her that she left after two years
He was the poster boy for meeting with the public his first two years as celeb du noir but all goodwill faded when he backed his players decision to kneel.
Probably lots of truth that AAU and high school teams in the state never took him seriously.

Y'all are theoretically on the same side, right? Cool your heads.
For what it's worth, zyvn, I read most threads in this place (occupational hazard) and I didn't see why you chose to switch off the Candace Parker avatar.

They have to reach out to Neighbors. He is from Fort Smith, Arkansas and his ex wife and kids live in Arkansas. He did just sign a multi year deal, but I doubt the buyout is out of reach. I have no idea if he would be interested, but they certainly have to make the call.
I think the FGCU HC, Karl Smesko is going to land a big job somewhere very soon.

My understanding is that Neighbor's buyout is not that huge ... and that he's not making big bucks, relatively speaking, at Washington.
Even though UW is still playing, I would suspect some preliminary discussions are under way.

Makes sense. And 'graduating' with Plum and Osahar is a logical step. But trading Seattle for Fayetteville? HELL, no! LOL!

Um, yess. Karl is amazing, and--my man-crush on him aside--he could do well just about anywhere, on any stage. That said, he IS an Ohio boy, and recruits the NE well....I still say he should have had the Ohio State job over McGuff, and then we wouldn't even have needed this thread!

This thread is becoming comically Twilight-Zonish. Zvyn never claimed that he explained his avatar change. Go to post #23 in this thread. That's where it gets bizarre.
