They're in love with Chris Beard since his quote at halftime against Kentucky that referenced Bobby Knight.

I would bet almost anything Beard is not the coach at Ole Miss next season.

They like a coach who is not afraid to lay hands on the neck of another person.

Every time I think RT maybe turned the corner coaching this team, they manage to play like ass long enough to blow a lead or get so deep in a hole they can’t come back.

Undisciplined play with no discernible offensive or defensive philosophy.

gonna be hilarious seeing all the talking heads that said we had to hire him, go radio silent.

I really want to tweet at Jeff Goodman and Jon Rothstein about this as they were 2 of the biggest talking heads saying to “do the right thing and take the interim tag off of RT.”

Dickie V was doing this too.

yep Dickie V was cheerleading like crazy.  I'm just hoping that I am reading the message in the contract CDC gave Terry correctly.  He had a couple of years and if it wasn't trending well the buyout was easy.

I wont sweat the coaching hire. My go-to guy would be Lloyd, but even with the financial shitshow going on at UofA, there's always the possibility of some alums sweeping into save the day with a fat check. But I have faith that CDC will get it right. Thats what he does. That Zona-Tech game tonight should be a good one. 

Also, fuck Dickie V. He's been a clownshow for at least 20 years now. I'm glad the cancer didnt get him, but if I never have to listen to another asswhip broadcast with that buffoon, that would be fine with me.

To be fair to Dicky V, he is a clown and nobody should take him seriously.

He's back today calling the game of his beloved Duke vs. Clemson.

You don't have to watch of course, just a heads up.

Dick Vitale plans his return to broadcasting for Duke vs. Clemson on Saturday after battling cancer - CBSSports.com

There’s no one saying they took him seriously but guys like Goodman and Rothstein are big names that were screaming to hire RT and take the interim tag off. They should be ridiculed.

Oh yeah, the talking heads, including Dickie V., were primarily responsible for causing the groundswell that landed RT the job. Luckily for them, there is no accountability, so they can push whatever agenda they might want to push. People yielding to their pressure unfortunately have to live with the consequences.

At the end of the day, the buck stops with CDC. Im gonna give him a pass on this one, but it wasnt one of his brightest moments. It is a black eye on an otherwise sterling resume.

I think the buck started further up the ladder than CDC.

UT doesn't like bad press or any bad looks when it comes to these kinds of things.

I hear you and I understand the optics of the situation, but I dont think that is a particularly good thing that a university is making decisions that they hired their AD to make. In fact, to me, that seems like a poor strategy for long term retention of the AD.

Not a black eye at all.  He played the hand the way he had to play it

Expand  

The hand was always going to be played that way, whether it was CDC's decision, or if he had help.

I think he consulted with the higher ups before it was made.

Dickie V was one of the reasons I fell in love with college basketball. And also one of the reasons I stopped paying so much attention to the game.

He's been one of the best ambassadors for the game that we've ever seen. 

If you don't believe that then you really don't follow the sport.

This isn't 1980 anymore. The novelty of hearing him scream diaper dandy PTPer incessantly with the occasional interruption to suck off Coach K or Jimmy V  has worn off. Everybody I know hates that dude broadcasting a game, even though they don't hate the guy. It's a beating listening to him do everything but talk about the fucking game.

No, but that SHOULD mean that we're at least already working on the next coach now*, so that the hire can come as soon after the firing as possible.

*And by "now" I mean "months ago, if not longer."

Vitale doesn't scream anything, anymore, as he's been inhaling poison in his body via radiation for a few years now. 

No one is talking about whether or not he's a good analyst anymore. But the energy, passion and support of and by him for the game over the four decades is unmatched, by anyone. I never cared much for Vitale on the mic. But I love the sport and no one has supported it more over years.

Anyone who doesn't and can't acknowledge that is a fucking uninformed and unbridled idiot.

Players come and go, coaches move around, Vitale was one of the constants of CBK for several decades. I put him below Raferty as far as analysts goes but Wally’s right about DV being a great ambassador for the game.

Have you seen the reel where Eagle's kid (is Ian the jr.?) does the impression of their household growing up. It's fucking great.
