No denying the first few have been disappointing but I think if he revamps his staff (Chad Dollar is on staff!!!) they have the players and certainly the opportunity in that conference to win a lot of games

Why is all the hate directed at Fox? He isn't on the NIT bubble like we are and and he has two 4-star recruits coming in. I am not sure uga can find a better coach for their program. They simply have very little hoops history and play in a terrible facility in a town with no basketball culture. Their ceiling ought to be a lot lower than ours and he seems to be right at that point.
What like 8 years, no NCAA wins? That gets you fired at most places that take bball seriously.

My point exactly. Nobody in Athens cares as much as he does. And that is why I actually admire his tenure there.
I guess they're trying to get into the game finally?

Oh come on. I'm sure plenty of them enjoy serving lunch to elementary school kids.
And "dropping fries". I hear that's industry lingo for when they cook the fries.

It would be funny if Tennessee swallowed their pride and rehired Coach Pearl in a few seasons when Rick Barnes retires.

Early on in their tenure's the big name hires in the SEC haven't really made a mark yet - though maybe they will in the future.
At Miss St, Howland took over a program that was 13-19 the year before and has gone 14-17 and 16-15 (with a game today against AL) in his 2 yrs with a best conference finish of 11th. No postseason
At Auburn Pearl took over a program that had just gone 14-16 and has gone 15-20, 11-20 and 18-14 in 3 years with a high conference finish of 11th. Might get to the NIT this season, no postseason 1st 2 yrs. Next year is a big year for Pearl.
At TN, Barnes took over a program that had gone 16-16 the year before he arrived and has gone 15-19 and 16-16 (after the UGA loss today) with a high finish of 9th and no postseason.
Avery Johnson at AL has probably been the best so far with season of 18-15 with an NIT appearance last season and so far 17-13 this season. Finished tied for 5th this season in the SEC.
Note that Anthony Grant was 19-15 his last season at AL, so you can't really say Johnson has done any better.

@Peacone36 is unimpressed with those facts, RR. He's just in love with Howland and Pearl. Throw W. Kentucky's middling results in there for the trio of Peac Coach Crushes.
Whoa, you've been telling us for 3 years, where Howland goes the champagne flows. I've been to Starkville. It's only slightly less desireable to live in than southern CA. Slightly.

The fans on Volnation are calling for Rick Barnes head. I think Rick Barnes very well could retire following the 2017-2018 Basketball season since it seems he's not putting much effort into coaching or recruiting and he is around 65 I believe.
