    I would imagine if this were in anyway true, it is probably that aggy is throwing more money around to buy up these guys, lowering Bama's chances if they want to swoop in to get guys who are playing that game. Honestly, there really isn't that much difference in what Bama took in-state last cycle than what they have done in the past couple of cycles. It's not like Bama went from getting 4 or 5 players from the Texas Top 20 and then basically got shut out when Jimbo showed up. The past few cycles they have taken one or two Texas guys, just like they did this last cycle.

    I am guessing you'll be tuning in for his reviews of the latest in cockrings, dildos, and buttplugs.

    What we should have insisted Shaka do as well. We might not consistently compete year-in-year-out with Kansas, but we sure as hell would have won more games recruiting fringe NBA talent and running Havoc. If you want to run a traditional system and win on talent then at least pick a fucking coach that has proven success running a traditional system.

    Puts him in the Top 10 of college basketball coaching salaries. I think he is just behind Huggin's $3.7M, which slots him in at number 8 currently, supposedly just ahead of what Buzz Williams is going to get from aggy, assuming it is right at the rumored $3.5M. I am going to bet Beard gets another extension that puts him in this range and ups his buyout again.

    It definitely ruined the piece I was working on...

    Don't care, Horns downed. #advantageaggy

    Really? I thought he was releasing his inner satya. I think 11 of 12 or 12 of 12 in the playoff is reasonable.

    Waiting for Skipper to come around and ask your for your bank account number so he can be sure you are the one ponying up the money...According to him only big money donors willing to pay for the buyout can express their opinion that Shaka needs to go.

    I think it's Ringo. I heard he transferred to another district that has their Spring Break this week, just so he could spend another week on the 40.

    So what you are saying is the Bill Self wins by recruiting talent so high that they win just by showing up?
  11. rickyspub
    It does feel like we are just going to throw silly money at another Shaka after this, hoping the next guy with minor mid-major cred is the next great one.

    I would say it went from hot to cool. Who the fuck are we going to hire next year? Buzz and Beard are probably the best options for getting a proven coach and they will both be unattainable after this year. Who is going to be a better option next year? If we can't fire Shaka over $12M in buyouts we aren't going to fire him still owing him $9M.

    I think there are more Michigan STATE fans at that game than UConn fans.

    To me the way to judge is whether you at least played to your seed. That makes it hard to really judge the mid-major guys who are always starting out as a low seed, but the great coaches are getting to the Elite 8 with a 2 seed, while the good coaches just make the Sweet 16. If Beard wins tomorrow he will enter that list posted above at #1 with an .800 win percentage. If he loses he enters at a #6. If there were a coach to throw the bank at he's my pick.

    I think we found Ketch's sock!

    I guess you can't grasp the nuance that we have no idea what is going on in the background or that people are allowed to have opinions regardless of their pocketbooks. You can assume that CDC will always make the best decision and someone else can worry that he is going to let our chance at Chris Beard pass over the buyout or that he knows he has a lame duck coach but won't fire him because he didn't find him a soft landing spot. They are all just opinions and we are all free to express them and argue for or against them, but your insistence on trying to shut someone else's opinion down because they are or aren't a big money boosters is pathetic and just shows your inability to engage in a debate. You obviously aren't forking over the money either, so you have no idea if the financial wherewithal is in place or not.

    I almost added Calhoun, but I couldn't remember the year. Obviously guys like Izzo and Coach K and Calipari have a laundry list of wins over other top coaches. Self always seems to underperform at the late stages of the tourney, I wonder what his record looks like against the cream of the crop.
  18. rickyspub
    And yet he constantly opines that others can't have an opinion on coaching changes unless they are rich enough to pay for it.

    This is an interesting idea. I wonder what Barnes's profile would look like in a broader comparison of coaches. Looking not just at whom they lost to but also whom they beat. Obviously all the better coaches on this list would have a win over Barnes on their ledgers. I believe Barnes beat Gene Keady and Izzo in the Final Four run and I am certain he beat Roy Williams once, but I am drawing a blank on any other HoF-level or near-to-HoF coaches he has won against. We know how empty some Elite Eight and Final Four profiles can be when winning through a Madness-weakened bracket, so is Barnes's record ultimately really good?

    And the Tech people are adamant that Beard stays. What does that tell us? VT fans think their AD won't get into a bidding war and/or that Buzz wants out no matter what. Tech fans here think Beard wants to stay at Tech and Tech will pay to keep him. No different than most of here think Shaka stays because of the high buyout. But nothing has happened. Games are still being played (on the court and likely in backrooms with agents) and no public moves have been made regarding any of these coaches. For all we know the Buzz to aggy talk is just a misdirection for Buzz to Texas.
  21. rickyspub
    You make this sound like it has already been written in stone. I haven't heard that Buzz is even leaving VT. I thought he was still playing for a national championship. Did your bot-level NSA access reveal the signed contract with aggy? Beard is going to cause a bidding war, though it may just be within the confines of Tech's admins. I am confident neither will be the coach at Texas in 2 years if they aren't our coach next season. I know I'll be pissed if we fire Shaka next season and replace him with another lottery ticket hire from a mid-major that played above seed once in the tournament.

    I almost @'ed you! But still one player short. If it happened, I figured it had to be pre-TJ.
  23. rickyspub
    Did Rick ever have a starting 5 at Texas that was all upperclassmen? At the end here it seems like the team was always trying to integrate some heralded freshman or two and there was never any chemistry or consistency...basically like Shaka's entire tenure.

    I can't wait to see the hoops he will jump through to defend a player he really needs. Might be hard for him this time when he doesn't have Candi to send in to suck out any ill-will. He better learn that sending a sheep will net him more sympathy than sending in Meemaw.

    Well what the fuck happened between '55 and '80?
