I don't. Please share

Partying, players disrespecting program led to problems at UCLA - SI.com - Magazine

This is the SI article that basically got Howland fired.

Didn't realize a message board had so much power.

We run the world.

Amen, man. I love the university and the teams, but our "fans" are the worst.

Gruden or Cowher is what I'm hearing. Possibly Mike Shanahan.

 

[UTBasketball2]

lol

What's funny about it?

 

[whocaresgobobcats]

If Martin does go, who are some coaches we may go after outside of the obvious?

Louisiana Tech and Southern Miss coaches

Believe it or not, it has a more serious influence than you might think. Have you seen how much coverage social media gets in the news, in sports, in general? It is a massive influence our society now, like it or not, and a movement of thousands of people to a cause online has actual real life repercussions.

 

[UTProf]

I was wrong, guess he was the secret candidate, wow.

Article says it's unclear if Martin would even entertain their interest. Howland IS interested.

 

[ranradVOL]

Louisiana Tech and Southern Miss coaches

Pretty much.

Hart has done a terrible job with this whole thing. His silence has been deafening to say the least. He should have wrapped Martin up last week with a deal too good to turn down. When are we going to have a competent AD?

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Does anyone remember the stories from players while Howland was at UCLA?? No thanks

I'd rather take a gamble with him instead of an unproven up and comer.

All you Bruce lovers might get what you wanted. If you think the program is bad now just wait and see how bad it gets if he leaves. I don't blame him if he does

Probably around the time we have a competent fan base. It may be a while.

Of course he is, he doesn't have a job.

I think you take him, but at a discount and with a low buy out.

 

[VinylVols]

I was never happy with Cuonzo until this tournament, but I never signed the petition. I don't see how the fans who stayed away from the petition drama deserve this.

The program just got done with a sweet 16 run and should've made it to the elite 8 were it not for the guys in stripes. It's not bad at all. lol:

man, we cant keep coaches very long...

Hart and Martin could have talked and arrived at a decision that Martin will leave if the right opportunity was presented.

What's funny about it?

It's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

Top ten attendance three years in a row for a bubble team.

This year they did that with the worst regular season of the three. Blaming the fans is beyond dumb. If you need evidence that it is stupid, just look at the ringleaders of talking that nonsense. Mickey Dearstone and Wes Rucker.

This is one of the most passionate fan bases in the country. Cuonzo Martin should feel honored that he got this opportunity because his resume didn't warrant it. He was given this job out of circumstance. He was underachieving and fans were critical. BFD.

 

[Vols4life]

If Martin were to leave here is who I would call

Lawrence Frank

 

[Insunseri]

Thinks he's probably gone, and who can blame him. Marquette will clearly offer big bucks, doubt Hart matches.

I agree completely. If they pursue him heavily, it's gonna be hard for him to turn it down. I'd take it if I were him.
