    Cool. Let's let them call the shots then and quit our bitching.

    That is what CDC is paid to manage. He lets them have input without calling the shots. He is the CEO for our sports. BTW, I do not believe that our BMDs think RT is the right guy for the job. They will give him till next year and if it is more of the same, they will turn on him.

    I must have missed that post. Is it the mess that RT created or some mythical mess created by someone else?

    Beard. Obviously Beard was pulverizing this program into shambles before Saint Terry saved us all from eternal mediocrity.

    He kept the team together and got it to the Elite Eight for the first time in 15 years.

    He absolutely earned the job.

    Did he earn a five year deal? Well, there we're in sort of a gray area.

    I could've kept that team together. It was a bunch of seniors, they weren't gonna quit just because their coach was a POS. In the real world, you thank RT for his efforts, he goes somewhere else to prove he can hack it at the highest level, and if he succeeds maybe you hire him back if the next guy doesnt work out. But no, we are so concerned with optics we tied a deadweight around our necks for 5 years so people wouldnt write mean tweets about us. #winning

    CDC better be making moves behind the scenes. We can’t take this bullshit into the SEC with a new gym. 

    We are stuck with him till the end of next season even if we lose out by 30 in every game.

    Based on his performance as the interim head coach. He earned the job.

    So he coached someone else's team, someone else's recruits, and a team that was all senior led btw, to a tie game in the round of 32 with Penn State (a 10 seed) with less than 2 minutes remaining and we pulled out a squeaker. Then we beat a team we were seeded higher than before choking a 20 point lead to a 5 seed. You call that "earning" it. No the fuck he did not. Penn State hits a couple of buckets and everything is different. You really think RT made the difference on that team last year? Haha no

    Idk that’s a tricky one. I think Texas didn’t have to but they played it safe. You were really going yo fire a coach who won the conference tourny and got you to the elite 8?? 
     

    that’s a slippery slope, ESPN and socials would have had a field day with Texas had we fired RT

    How would we be firing someone who was in an interim position? Lol

    Of course they didn't, but it was the right thing to do.

    Based on what? His prolific previous head coaching career? Based on the fact he was black and we didnt want the poor optics of not hiring him? Why exactly did he deserve the job? Let's be honest with ourselves here.

    we expect them not to look like 9th grade boys team at pflugerville high

    And that's fair lol. But that was my expectation coming into this game. There was a 0.0% chance we were winning this game and a 10% chance it wouldnt be a blowout.
