Re: SMU Game Thread

The problem that holds HArris back from replacing him is Hunters personality and popularity as a person. The results are looking like they will get much worse as each game sees less motivation and obviously no improvement in tactics. The other teams have already caught on to the game plan so second...

Nor what the average gpa is for our athletes. Which is like focusing on what an English Lit major can bench press and run the 40 in.

Re: SMU Game Thread

I'm afraid your forecast is highly likely--including Harris' performance benchmarks and requirements around scheduling. If Hunter does get another year, there certainly should be very clear performance measures that he has to meet. And for the reasons stated in my post above, I doubt he'll meet tho...

Re: SMU Game Thread

Unfortunately, I think Hunter will be given the benefit of doubt by a new AD. I suspect there will be a long post-season discussion of where things are lacking and what Hunter's ideas are for fixing them. Harris may also relieve Hunter of total control over the schedule and present him with a true ...

Re: SMU Game Thread

All sadly true but doubt there will be any change by AD Harris. He won 20 games a year ago, has over 500 career victories and took over a team that went 0-18 in conference the year before he started. I, too, want a coach that can take us higher than Hunter's apparent ceiling here. But if we fire hi...

Re: SMU Beats Hunter 87=79

He needs to be fired as soon as this season ends. Anything else is just wasting our time and delaying any chance to really resurrect our basketball program. Our current problems are systemic and recur virtually every game--and that's because they are all coaching related. Hunter is hard-headed about...

Re: AAC #7

The AAC will eventually bubble back up to the clear G5 leader. The reason is money. So long as the AAC is making considerably more TV money than the others, they will be able to hire better coaches, have higher recruiting budgets and get better TV access. It's the reason we were able to hire Sumral...

Re: Memphis Game 2 on Super Bowl Sunday

Another wasted year. It’s been evident for at least the last two years that we are going nowhere with Hunter. A decent win now and then doesn’t change the overall trajectory of this program. We really are in a Jewett type rut. Or maybe it’s best to coin it as a Dannen Rut.

Pratt if given the chance will excel in the NFL. I’d love to see him end up in Denver. He could have a great chance of being their starter there.

Either way—there is no connection with what Nix does at the Senior Bowl and what Thompson might do at Tulane. Only in gbg’s warped mind is there a connection.

Re: Tulane Beats #10 Memphis 81-79!

I know the coaching is terrible, but the talent is not that great. We have a couple of players, but most of these guys would be bench players at many schools. Our coach is consistently bad and our players are very inconsistent. Just need to start over and Will Wade should be the first stop. In an a...
