You are mental if you call what he's done the past three years "well".
Well, let's see:
Year 1: Took a team with very little talent that was predicted to finish next to last in the SEC and finished 2nd.
Year 2: Admittedly, an average season. His worst here.
Year 3: Sweet 16 birth. One block/charge call away from Elite 8 appearance.
Seems like swell job to me.
1.) Those SEC predictions are jokes. And...that 2nd place finish did wonders for us in the SEC tournament and the NCAA tournament, right?
2.) A couple of good wins and the same results.
3.) A sweet 16 was expected. It took another late season run to even make it to the dance. We were far too talented to end up as one of the last teams in.
Just gonna rationalize away all the good points, eh? With that kind of attitude, no one could ever show positive things about Zo. I'll move along. :hi:
No. I think he's a good man and will be a good coach one day. His job is to win ballgames and that's what he's judged on. When they start hanging banners for nice guys, I'm all for Martin. The truth is, the SEC has been extremely weak since Martin has came and he managed two NIT bids and an expected sweet 16 finish. I'm just saying he has hardly met expectations.

I think that the many naysayers have valid points. I wish they would, however, temper their criticism by the enormous potential CCM has this having been only his 6th year as a HC.
I would love for him to stay and be our coach. If that potential never materializes, then we will have probably had 2 or 3 more years of solid defense, good leadership, and 1 or 2 trips to the NCAA.
