@JohnMartin929 That team two years ago was pretty lifeless at the end too. Penny needs good assistants (like Nolan) or he's gonna struggle; particularly if we are going to be completely starting over every year.
@Shaolin7v7@929espn I'm aware of the highlights & lowlights. Not saying it can't work, but that it's not the exciting hire to get the fanbase excited & more tickets sold. Which we need. Butts in seats & $ matter. Conf championship is the standard for a university thats looking to be P4. We'll see.
@JeremyLRichey@929espn You must be bad at reading comprehension. Where did I say that he's not? Most of our fans/casual fans have no clue who he is. That's not likely to draw up enthusiasm, tickets sold, donations, people in attendance... what about that is wrong?
@Greg_Gaston He's gonna be playing against better talent. Not sure if that solves it. Hopefully with extra money in his budget he can get some really good coordinators to help where he lacks.
@929espn Maybe we can use some of that money saved on the coach for the basketball program's NIL? Forum looking awful empty these days. Last game's attendance looked like the Tubby era.
@929espn Very disappointed. Not what our apathetic fan base was needing. 16 year since a second weekend, 8 years without a conf championship appearance. Can't imagine there's any uptick in tickets sold. As a Memphis fan, I really hope it works out, we need something to be excited about.
