Don't forget those assistants he's bringing.

Some of the Memphis fans sound like a male/female that lost their significant other and trying to bad talk them, so we don't like them. We understand he broke your heart, now it's time to move on.

I don't keep up that much with basketball in the rest of the country, other than the big schools AND Tech, but should I be impressed with that list?

Outside of Marshall, who is probably going to ask for 5 million a year or otherwise stay put, nope.

What Tigerrs doesn't seem to realize is that Memphis is in the same boat as Tech was in when we hired Gregory. Both Hewitt and Pastner had early success, signed long term contracts with buyouts, and then sorta fizzled out.
Now Memphis is in their own " Gregory " phase of the process , hamstrung financially by having to buyout part of Pastner's contract, just like we have had to do with Hewitt/Gregory. As fans, we sometimes tend to think our schools' athletic programs are more relevant nationally than they actually are. Then , when we don't get the " big time " coach , we can't figure it out. In my opinion , both Memphis and Tech are getting about as good a coach as their current circumstances warrant. A definite level below the big time, proven guys , but potentially able to move both programs upward. Should be an interesting few years.

Fwiw, it's not like he was making stuff up. He just poured a fairly realistic bucket of water on people trying to kindle optimism.

So Pastner is in fact a clown? There's more in the removed posts.

I'm pretty sure that you don't censure every use of clown. Regardless, I was referring to the data/perspective he used to support the claim.
I've got no problems with saying he's a troll, just saying his troll wasn't without foundation.
Lol, "data"?
His only purpose was to crap on the hire and make veiled mocking comments about GT.
Dont validate that nonsense, AE. You're better than that. (in Mark Jackson voice)

LOL. He was quoting you I thought.
I'm giving you some major side-eye right now. Anyway, enough about that clown. Let's get back on topic.

Nah, they're interviewing Davis, Musselman and the like just as a smoke screen before they hire Marshall ... right?
Jon Gruden?
