I hope people come back to eat crow after a year for being wrong on whatever side they are so passionately arguing for. We are in a roller coaster as a fanbase right now. We have no idea what the future holds for this program. If RT had success somewhere, anywhere, as a HC building a program, this decision would have been a no brainer.
Now there is no way to know how he will do when the seniors leave and some of the assistants, who were pulled by Beard, potentially leave. They want to be associated with top tier coaches for the betterment of their own career. When you don't know these things, you look at history  and that's not too kind to RT. If he was doing this with a bunch of underclassmen who were expected to return, then it would have been a much easier decision.

Taking the position that RT has earned the job is not the same as guaranteeing “success” (however that is defined). So if he doesn’t work out, nobody needs to eat Jack shit.

Next years team will be a challenge, regardless of who coaches, starting with grabbing some pieces out of the portal and then meshing a whole new roster.

So if RT manages a Top 4 conference finish and/or makes it to weekend 2 in ‘24, then the only things eaten around here will be your and Loop 410’s dicks, by each other.

RT hasn’t earned a god damn thing. He took a roster built by Chris Beard and managed not to fuck it up too badly.

Once we lose to Colgate or aggy the clamoring for a mediocre coach to take over this program will be silenced.

Also, fuck your own face you piece of trash.

RT has earned a bonus, not the permanent job - a simple concept that many can't seem to understand. Glad you guys don't make any hiring decisions at our athletic department, and hopefully nowhere for that matter.

Elite 8 or bust for RT. He has never had a team assembled with this much talent, experience and potential, and the likelihood of him doing so again/on his own based on past coaching stops seems small. If he can’t win 3 games with this team he will probably never be able to do it.

Whole new roster? There is a better chance that the roster contains Hunter, Morris, Mitchell, Disu, Cunningham, Anamewke, Brumbaugh, Holland, and Johnson than not. That's 9 guys with 7 returning, before even considering the portal.

Disu participated in Senior Day including the "Thank You Seniors" official Twitter account post prior to that game, so I'm figuring he's gone.  And despite whatever number of "returning players" we have, any roster that doesn't include Timmie Allen, Marcus Carr, Christian Bishop, Sir'Jabbari Rice, and Dylan Disu is a substantially (technically a better word that my use of "whole") different roster.

It's a fair question and something you and I can't answer based on this season's performance alone. He will have an interview with CDC as has been reported already. Then I would assume CDC would  grill him on various things, including his vision for Texas, roster management, and assistant coaches retention and/or hiring. Big time coaches have a strong rolodex of assistants they can call upon. Does Terry have one? I don't know. A good hiring process will involve a lot of Q&As that fans are not privy to.

The entire coaching staff is staying if Terry is given the job. If Odgen goes back to basketball operations, then there is one assistant opening.

Nonetheless, the Cowboys didn't go out and hire someone else after they won the Super Bowl. 

If people want to think Rodney Terry is a terrific coach based on what they've seen this year, let them. I don't see what harm it causes. None of us are making the hiring decision. It will play out over time. I hope he retires a legend and the court is named after him. Barring that, I hope he helps to create some great memories before he's canned. I'm grateful to him for this year. I hope for a deep run. Let's see what this group can accomplish together, and by that I'm including Terry as well.

I’m all in on seeing what they can do in the tournament. As I’ve said many times I just love this team.  I guess I’m just looking at the probabilities of keeping it going for a few years.

Well, regardless of who is the next coach they'll have their work cut out for them. This is a senior laden roster. If Beard was the coach I wouldn't think twice about it because the dude is a wizard at roster management. But I don't know if the next guy will be anywhere as good. 

I'm like the zen master in Charlie Wilson's War. "We'll see!"

 

[Magus Ossis 2798]

Terry is no Beard. He’s worse at building a team but better at avoiding felony arrests. Turns out the latter matters more in Austin. I’ll reserve judgment on how much he may have matured as a coach until I see how he coaches in tournament games that matter, and (if applicable) what he puts on the court next year. For now I just have to hope the valid negatives about him that have been enumerated end up not mattering. He is already coaching us, and I want to win. Every game.

I'm very far from NIL expert, but according to this random dude on the internet, the most common Euro basketball salaries are between $400-$800k.  So NIL would need to get somewhere close to that.  I would hope NIL could get Disu $500k?

Doesn’t shock me at all to hear that. He seemed pretty checked out but looks like he has found a second wind over the last month or so. He certainly isn’t ready to run an offense for 20 minutes a game with how his game currently is.

With all the veteran guards on this team, we probably all slightly overestimated what Morris would bring to the table this year.

I don’t know how far we’ll go in the tournament. I would hope for 2nd weekend at least based on our seasoned roster and excellent season. We’ve played in a ton of tough games.

I don’t know if Rodney Terry is the guy. I’m definitely willing to give him a shot. I think he’s earned it, keeping the season together this year, leading us to a conference tournament title and #2 seed. The players love him and it’s a great story.

What I do know is someone is going to be a complete fucking bitch whatever happens.
